I wanna put some complex commands (e.g. section and chapter) inside a box (vbox) so later I can compute the height of the block contains the text.

Here is the full example:

documentclass[11pt]{article}



newsavebox{samplebox}

newcommand{sampleboxcommand}[1]{

    savebox{samplebox}{#1}

    usebox{samplebox}

}

begin{document}



sampleboxcommand{

    section{Section X}

    subsection{Subsection Y}

}

end{document}

But it gives me many errors like:

• Something's wrong--perhaps a missing item. }


• Missing } inserted. }


• Too many }'s. }

What's wrong with my code? If I replace the savebox and usebox with a simple vbox{#1} everything goes smoothly.

  you are using savebox which is an hbox not vbox you can not have vertical material in an hbox.
