<p>
 <tt>\sbox{cmd}{text}</tt><br>
 <tt>\savebox{cmd}[width][pos]{text}</tt>
<p>
 These commands  typeset  <tt>text</tt> in a box just as for 
 <a href="ltx-265.html"><tt>\mbox</tt></a>  or 
 <a href="ltx-262.html"><tt>\makebox</tt></a>.
 However,  instead of printing  the resulting  box, they save it in 
 the LaTeX command
 <tt>cmd</tt>, which must have been declared with 
 <a href="ltx-277.html"><tt>\newsavebox</tt></a>.
 The saved <tt>text</tt> is accessed by a 
 <a href="ltx-337.html"><tt>\usebox</tt></a> command.
<p>
 The <tt>\sbox</tt> and <tt>\savebox</tt> commands are 
 <a href="declarations.html">declarations</a> with the usual
 rules for scope.  
<p>
 The <tt>\sbox</tt> command is <a href="fragile.html">robust</a>;
 the <tt>\savebox</tt> command is <a href="fragile.html">fragile</a>.
