-<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label findwidth</title>
-</head><body>
-<h3>Finding the width of a letter, word, or phrase</h3>
-<p/>Put the word in a box, and measure the width of the box. For example,
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\newdimen\stringwidth
-\setbox0=\hbox{hi}
-\stringwidth=\wd0
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-Note that if the quantity in the <code>\</code><code>hbox</code> is a phrase, the actual
-measurement only approximates the width that the phrase will occupy in
-running text, since the inter-word glue can be adjusted in paragraph
-mode.
-<p/>The same sort of thing is expressed in LaTeX by:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\newlength{\gnat}
-\settowidth{\gnat}{\textbf{small}}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-This sets the value of the length command <code>\gnat</code> to the width of &#8220;small&#8221;
-in bold-face text.
