boxElementElementElement 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,
image("docs.svg")
)
for more information.
ParameterParameterParameters are input values for functions. Specify them 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.
Default value: auto
Show example
Line in #box(width: 1fr, line(length: 100%)) between.
height
The height of the box.
Default value: auto
baselineSettableSettableSettable parameters can be set using the set rule, changing the default value used thereafter.
set rule, changing the default value used thereafter.An amount to shift the box's baseline by.
Default value: 0% + 0pt
Show example
Image: #box(baseline: 40%, image("tiger.jpg", width: 2cm)).
fill
The box's background color. See the rectangle's documentation for more details.
Default value: none

set rule, changing the default value used thereafter.How much to round the box's corners. See the rectangle's documentation for more details.
Default value: (:)

set rule, changing the default value used thereafter.How much to pad the box's content.
This can be a single length for all sides or a dictionary of lengths
for individual sides. When passing a dictionary, it can contain the
following keys in order of precedence: top, right, bottom, left
(controlling the respective cell sides), x, y (controlling vertical
and horizontal insets), and rest (covers all insets not styled by
other dictionary entries). All keys are optional; omitted keys will use
their previously set value, or the default value if never set.
Relative lengths are relative to the box size without outset.
Note: When the box contains text, its exact size depends on the current text edges.
Default value: (:)
Show example
#rect(inset: 0pt)[Tight]
outsetSettableSettableSettable parameters can be set using the set rule, changing the default value used thereafter.
set rule, changing the default value used thereafter.How much to expand the box's size without affecting the layout.
This can be a single length for all sides or a dictionary of lengths for individual sides. Relative lengths are relative to the box size without outset. See the documentation for inset above for further details.
This is useful to prevent padding from affecting line layout. For a generalized version of the example below, see the documentation for the raw text's block parameter.
Default value: (:)
Show example
An inline
#box(
fill: luma(235),
inset: (x: 3pt, y: 0pt),
outset: (y: 3pt),
radius: 2pt,
)[rectangle].
clipSettableSettableSettable parameters can be set using the set rule, changing the default value used thereafter.
set rule, changing the default value used thereafter.Whether to clip the content inside the box.
Clipping is useful when the box's content is larger than the box itself, as any content that exceeds the box's bounds will be hidden.
Default value: false
Show example
#box(
width: 50pt,
height: 50pt,
clip: true,
image("tiger.jpg", width: 100pt, height: 100pt)
)
