get height on a block of latex output
- by georg raba
Hello, I am trying to determine how to get the height on a block of latex output (not the whole document, and not the code..but rather a block of output). As an example of what I am trying to accomplish: i were to have the latex code
$\sum_{i=0}^\infty \frac{1}{n}\infty$ \newline hello world \newline hello universe
its output would be something like 2 inches high. Of course, the height of the above block of text is dependent on a number of things-font, margin size, etc, as changing any of these parameters changes how many inches that output would be.
Is there a command/package that does this?
Thanks in advance!
