\framed[height=broad] vs \framed[height=fit]

\framed[height=broad] vs \framed[height=fit]

[Aditya Mahajan]

Hi,

I was updating the wiki page on \framed and realized that I do not know 
the difference between height=broad|fit in \framed. Reading pack-rul 
suggests that both should behave similarly. The following example from 
pack-rul also shows no difference.

Is there a difference between the two? If not, why do we have two values 
then?

as you can see here (pack-rul.mkiv) both values result in \boxhasheightfalse
    \ifx\localheight\v!fit
      \boxhasheightfalse % no longer: \boxhasstrutfalse
    \else\ifx\localheight\v!broad
      \boxhasheightfalse

I think we have both because you can 'fit' and 'broad' for width but when
width and height should follow the same rules i say 'width=broad' should
result in 'height=\vsize' because 'width=broad' is equal to 'width=\hsize'.
