box
Element
Element functions can be customized with set and show rules.
set and show rules.An inline-level container that sizes content.
All elements except inline math, text, and boxes are block-level and cannot occur inside of a paragraph. The box function can be used to integrate such elements into a paragraph. Boxes take the size of their contents by default but can also be sized explicitly.
Example
Refer to the docs
#box(
height: 9pt,

)
for more information.
Parameters
Parameters are the inputs to a function. They are specified in parentheses after the function name.
width
The width of the box.
Boxes can have fractional widths, as the example below demonstrates.
Note: Currently, only boxes and only their widths might be fractionally sized within paragraphs. Support for fractionally sized images, shapes, and more might be added in the future.
