Once again I am stumped by something which is probably trivial.
What I wish to do is accumulate text into a paragraph "as I go". My simple
approach is to allocate a box, and then unbox and add the text. But this
doesn't work as I intend:
\newbox\textbox
\def\addbox#1{
\setbox\textbox\vbox{
\unvbox\textbox#1
}
}
\addbox{Hello}
\addbox{there!}
What I get is each appended bit of text in a separate line. I've tried to
"\unskip" and "\unkern" etc. after the \unvbox, but whatever I do I get a list
of lines rather than a paragraph as I would like. So far I haven't found any
answers in my searching, so if one of you would be kind enough to point me in
the right direction I would be appreciative.
I know I can use an auxiliary file to do this, but that seems overkill.
Thank you!
