with the document below I get the hboxes correct, but the vboxes seem a bit strange
to me. Can someone explain the dimensions of the vbox? Or are they just not
calculated yet, so I can't use node.dimensions(<head's glue specs>, vlist) at
that time?
I suppose node.dimensions produces an hlist, since you can't choose
between h- or vmode to build the list, and it works perfectly well
horizontally.
And I suppose the "vlist" in
node.dimensions(<head's glue specs>, vlist)
doesn't make sense; a list of node isn't vertical or horizontal, it
simply occurs in a vertical or horizontal container (... unfortunately
also called a list). But I might be completely wrong.
Anyway it'd be nice indeed to have a switch for node.dimensions which
measure either vertically or horizontally.
Best,
