Subject: box'es do not spread out
Date: Fri, 5 Feb 2016 19:34:52 +0000 [thread overview]

I am struggling with the following problem:
Collect a number of boxes with:
\global\setbox\placexcontent=\hbox{%
\box\placexcontent % collection of previous boxes
\box\placexbox % next box affixed to previous onse
\hskip\placexdistanceskip % spearation, replacing by \hfill does not solve problem
}%
Thus the incoming \placexbox'es are strung together separated by a skip.
Later they are typeset centered as a whole with:
\hbox to\textwidth{% % will be wider than the sum of the original box collection
\hss
\box\placexcontent % or \unhbox, doesn't look different
\unskip % unskip removes the last (extra) \hskip
\hss % should succumb to \hskip 0pt plus1fill
}%
The problem is the following:
(1) \placexdistanceskip=10pt boxes are separated neatly
(2) \placexdistanceskip=0pt plus1fill BOXES DO NOT SPREAD OUT AS I EXPECTED THEM TO DO
The flexible component does sadly not carry over to the final box, apparently.
Clearly my misunderstanding of working with boxes.
Can this be solved easily?
