%
% There are three kinds of box operations: horizontal mode denoted
% with prefix |\hbox_|, vertical mode with prefix |\vbox_|, and the
% generic operations working in both modes with prefix |\box_|.
%
% \section{Creating and initialising boxes}
%
% \begin{function}{\box_new:N, \box_new:c}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{box_new:N} \meta{box}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Creates a new \meta{box} or raises an error if the name is
%   already taken. The declaration is global. The \meta{box} will
%   initially be void.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\box_clear:N, \box_clear:c, \box_gclear:N, \box_gclear:c}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{box_clear:N} \meta{box}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Clears the content of the \meta{box} by setting the box equal to
%   \cs{c_void_box}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}
%   {\box_clear_new:N, \box_clear_new:c, \box_gclear_new:N, \box_gclear_new:c}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{box_clear_new:N} \meta{box}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Ensures that the \meta{box} exists globally by applying
%   \cs{box_new:N} if necessary, then applies \cs{box_(g)clear:N} to leave
%   the \meta{box} empty.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}
%   {

%     \cs{box_set_eq:NN} \meta{box_1} \meta{box_2}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Sets the content of \meta{box_1} equal to that of \meta{box_2}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}

%   \end{syntax}
%   Sets the content of \meta{box_1} within the current \TeX{} group
%   equal to that of \meta{box_2}, then clears \meta{box_2} globally.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}

%   \end{syntax}
%   Sets the content of \meta{box_1} equal to that of \meta{box_2}, then
%   clears \meta{box_2}. These assignments are global.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP, pTF, added=2012-03-03]
%   {\box_if_exist:N, \box_if_exist:c}

%   \end{texnote}
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\hbox_to_wd:nn}

%   \end{texnote}
% \end{function}
%
% \section{Vertical mode boxes}
%
% Vertical boxes inherit their baseline from their contents. The
% standard case is that the baseline of the box is at the same position
% as that of the last item added to the box. This means that the box
% will have no depth unless the last item added to it had depth. As a
% result most vertical boxes have a large height value and small or
% zero depth. The exception are |_top| boxes, where the reference point
% is that of the first item added. These tend to have a large depth and
% small height, although the latter will typically be non-zero.
