lrbox
Synopsis:
\begin{lrbox}{box-cmd} text \end{lrbox}
The text inside the environment is saved in the bin
box-cmd
. The box-cmd must begin with a
backslash. You must create this bin in advance with \newsavebox
(see \newsavebox). This is the environment form of the \sbox
and \savebox
commands, and is equivalent to them. See \sbox & \savebox for the full information.
In this example the environment is convenient for entering the
tabular
.
\newsavebox{\jhbin} \begin{lrbox}{\jhbin} \begin{tabular}{c} \includegraphics[height=1in]{jh.png} \\ Jim Hef{}feron \end{tabular} \end{lrbox} ... \usebox{\jhbin}
