Hi,

Is there a font dependant dimension, similar to 1em = width of an M, but in
height ?

Best,
Alan

You want chapter 4.

Thanks all.

Was looking for the equivalent in height of a capital. Didn't find it there,
neither elsewhere, so...

Best,
Alan

One thing that you can always do:
    \box0=\hbox{012}
and then you can access \ht0, \wd0, \dp0 (height, width and depth) of
whatever text you desire.

\dimexpr and \numexpr are explaines in the e-tex manual.

The only important thing for \dimexpr is to write the dimen value
as first value after the \dimexpr command and then the numeric values.

The syntax of \dimexpr and \numexpr is subtle and mysterious.

For example,
\framed[width=.61\textwidth,height=\dimexpr.61\textwidth*1486/1200\relax]{}
works, but I never understood the limitations.

How about an entry on the wiki?

Dimensions

[Bart C. Wise]

How do I specify a dimension that is an arithmetic expression?

For example,
\framed[width=\textwidth-12pt]{}

Thanks,
Bart
