The method makes use of +`Form XObjects' defined in the PDF specification. + +The user commands are modelled after the standard LaTeX commands \savebox, +\sbox, \usebox and the `lrbox' environment. + +All common TeX engines and back-ends are supported: + + * pdfLaTeX, LuaLaTeX + * LaTeX --> dvips --> ps2pdf/Distiller + * (Xe)LaTeX --> (x)dvipdfmx + +The user commands are: + + * content saving: + + \xsavebox{<name>}[<width>][<position>]{...} + \xsavebox*{<name>}[<width>][<position>]{...} + + \xsbox{<name>}{...} + + \begin{xlrbox}{<name>}...\end{xlrbox} + \begin{xlrbox*}{<name>}...\end{xlrbox*} + + <name> is an identifier (not a command!) composed of arbitrary + non-active characters, including spaces and numbers. A command for + declaration of <name> does not exist. + + Starred `*' variants allow for colour injection (pdfLaTeX/LuaLaTeX + only). + + * content insertion (referencing): + + \xusebox{<name>} + \the<name> + + The second, short form is useable if <name> is composed of [a-zA-Z]. + + +The package was written in the LaTeX3 syntax. + + +License: + +This material is subject to the LaTeX Project Public License.
