Summary description: outerhbox.sty - collect horizontal material for
contributing to a paragraph
License type: gpl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
Collects horizontal mode material into an \hbox, suitable for later \unhbox'ing into a paragraph. For use with plain, LaTeX, ConTeXt, etc. Provides \outerhbox, which is roughly similar to \hbox, except that material is set in outer horizontal mode. This prevents TeX from optimising away math penalties and the like, that are needed when the material is \unhbox'ed.
