% \section{Using this package}
%
% Sometimes you want to put a text into a box that has the same width
% as another text.
% Normally, you have to use \cs{settowidth} to set a length to the
% width of the reference text and use \cs{makebox} afterwards.
%\DescribeMacro{\makebox*}%
%With this package, you can use the \cs{makebox*} command for that.
% The width of the box is then given by a mandatory first argument
% (instead of the optional first argument of the \cs{makebox}
% command).
% The following arguments are identically to the normal \cs{makebox}
% command.
%
% For example,
%\begin{verbatim}
%--longer reference text--\\*
%--\makebox*{longer reference text}{short text}--\\*
%--\makebox*{longer reference text}[r]{short text}--\\*
%--\makebox*{longer reference text}[r]{even longer text than the reference}--\end{verbatim}
% leads to\\
%--longer reference text--\\*
%--\makebox*{longer reference text}{short text}--\\*
%--\makebox*{longer reference text}[r]{short text}--\\*
%--\makebox*{longer reference text}{even longer text than the reference}--

% Heading of the package:
% \begin{macrocode}
\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\ProvidesPackage{makebox}
[2004/07/31 v0.1 extend makebox command]
% \end{macrocode}
% \begin{macro}{\makebox*}
% Save the original \cs{makebox} command since it has to be redefined.
% \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand*\hh@orig@makebox{}
\let\hh@orig@makebox\makebox
% \end{macrocode}
% Redefine \cs{makebox}.
% If using normally call the original command.
% If using with a star, get the width of the box by a text and call
% \cs{hh@makebox} for doing so.
% \begin{macrocode}
\renewcommand*\makebox{%
\@ifnextchar*%
{\hh@makebox}{\hh@orig@makebox}%
}
% \end{macrocode}
% The \cs{hh@makebox} is defined with two mandatory arguments since
% the star is the first argument and ignored.
% First, the width of the reference text is stored in the length
% \cs{@tempdima}.
% Then, the original \cs{makebox} command ist called to typeset the
% box.
% \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand*\hh@makebox[2]{%
\settowidth\@tempdima{#2}%
\hh@orig@makebox[\@tempdima]%
}
