Box that behaves like vbox but its width is that of its content?
29
I need a box that fulfils these conditions:
- It can contain multiple lines (and paragraphs) of text (unlike
hbox) - A line that is longer then
textwidthis split to the next line (likeparbox,vboxand unlikehbox,mbox) - The content of the box is surrounded closely. That is width of the box is automatically set to width of content (like
hbox, unlikevboxandparbox). Because of 3. width of box should actually be minimum oftextwidthand width of box content. Height is height of box content.
How can I get such a behaviour?

The environment varwidth from the package of the same name needs only a length which will be the maximum of the allowed box width
documentclass[a5paper]{article}
usepackage{varwidth}
begin{document}
fbox{%
begin{varwidth}{textwidth}
some text
end{varwidth}}
fbox{%
begin{varwidth}{textwidth}
some more text to see if there can be a line break at the end
of the line with this nonsense text
end{varwidth}}
fbox{%
begin{varwidth}{0.5textwidth}
some text
end{varwidth}}
fbox{%
begin{varwidth}{0.5textwidth}
some more text to see if there can be a line break at the end
of the line with this nonsense text
end{varwidth}}
end{document}
