The following code was kindly provided for me in TeX Chat by @egreg.

This LaTeX 3 code loops over a list of characters, and puts a box around each character. It does not skip whitespace

documentclass[12pt]{article}

usepackage{xparse}



ExplSyntaxOn

NewDocumentCommand{spacechars}{m}

 {

  tl_set:Nn l_tmpa_tl { #1 }

  tl_replace_all:Nnn l_tmpa_tl { ~ } { c_space_tl }

  tl_map_function:NN l_tmpa_tl boxedchar

 }

 ExplSyntaxOff



NewDocumentCommand{boxedchar}{m}{%

  framebox[2em]{strut#1}%

 }



begin{document}



spacechars{ab c d}



end{document}

I'd like an enhancement of this code, with a variation of spacechars which allows one to include a width argument that can then be passed to framebox.

But it does not look like tl_map_function will do the job, unless there is some way to pass it a macro which is a version of boxedchar where the width argument has been applied (i.e. as in partial function application).

I looked at the functions in the LaTeX 3 interface document, (which is
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/doc/latex/l3kernel/interface3.pdf on my system), but didn't see anything that looked like it fit the bill.
