I need a (centered) paragraph that has the width of the text that it contains. This text has to be centered/left-aligned/right-aligned (one of these).

The text contains newlines.

It is no problem to set this with a given width but as the text within the paragraph is variable I don't find a way to do this.

I am using the standalone documentclass.

This is the example with fixed height:

documentclass[border={0pt 100px 0pt 100px}]{standalone}

usepackage{xcolor,pagecolor,lipsum,pbox,graphicx,anyfontsize}

usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

usepackage[sfdefault,light]{roboto}

usepackage[T1]{fontenc}





begin{document}

{fontsize{6}{9}selectfont%hier schon setzenfür em/ex

begin{minipage}{115em}





{centering

begin{tabular}[t]{c}

parbox[t][][t]{92em}{

centering{}textbf{EINE ÜBERSCHRIFT}

}\[0ex]

parbox[t][][t]{92em}{

centering{}{fontsize{5}{9}selectfont{}Eine Unter-Überschrift}

}

end{tabular}\[3ex]

}

{centering

parbox[t][][t]{30em}{raggedright{}Karl Meier\[3ex]Gustav Henrich\[3ex]Lisa Schöne\[3ex]Anton Dachs\[3ex]Fritz Blumenthal}\

}



end{minipage}

}%End fontsize

end{document}

So right now, this parbox has a fixed width and the content is not centered properly:

I want it this way:

Here, the parbox has a width that is fitted to the content and thus it is centered correctly. I cannot use a fixed width as the content is generated by a script and therefore variable.

I can't still not figure out why standalone is really needed in this case - adjusting contents in this class is not easy, when you can always change page size in normal classes.

As for the parbox, I propose an alternative using TikZ nodes:

documentclass[border={0pt 100px 0pt 100px}]{standalone}

usepackage{xcolor,pagecolor,lipsum,pbox,graphicx,anyfontsize}

usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

usepackage[sfdefault,light]{roboto}

usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

usepackage{tikz}

begin{document}

fontsize{6}{9}selectfont

begin{minipage}{115em}

    centering

    begin{tabular}[t]{c}

        textbf{EINE ÜBERSCHRIFT}\[0ex]

        {fontsize{5}{9}selectfont{}Eine Unter-Überschrift}

    end{tabular}\[3ex]

    tikznode[draw,align=left] {%

    Karl Meier\[3ex]Gustav Henrich\[3ex]Lisa Schöne\[3ex]Anton Dachs lang lang lang lang\[3ex]Fritz Blumenthal};

end{minipage}

end{document}

Removing the draw option will remove the box.

documentclass[border={0pt 100px 0pt 100px}]{standalone}

usepackage{xcolor,pagecolor,lipsum,pbox,graphicx,anyfontsize}

usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

usepackage[sfdefault,light]{roboto}

usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

usepackage{tikz}

begin{document}

fontsize{6}{9}selectfont

begin{minipage}{115em}

    centering

    begin{tabular}[t]{c}

        textbf{EINE ÜBERSCHRIFT}\[0ex]

        {fontsize{5}{9}selectfont{}Eine Unter-Überschrift}

    end{tabular}\[3ex]

    tikznode[align=left] {%

    Karl Meier\[3ex]Gustav Henrich\[3ex]Lisa Schöne\[3ex]Anton Dachs lang lang lang lang\[3ex]Fritz Blumenthal};

end{minipage}

end{document}
