Hi,
I want to specify the maximum width of a frame. If the size of the
box is smaller than the maximum width, I want a tight box. Something
like
\frame[maxwidth=5cm,align=middle]{Small} should give
+-----+
|small|
+-----+
while \frame[maxwidth=5cm,align=middle]{A very very long line that is
split at 5cm} should give
+----------------------+
| A very very long |
| line that is split |
| at 5cm |
+----------------------+
Is there something builtin that does this, or do I need to play with
scratchbox cum suis.
Aditya

that's a braindead extension; however, it will be 'autowidth=force' (default value is yes) because otherwise we get conflicts with existing maxwidth usage
