For HTML, no.
It would have to be a client-side function since a div normally expands
to the width of its container. If it is floated, then it shrinkwraps the
text, probably. In either case it depends on the client's current setup:
the width of the viewport, the metrics of the font set.
What is your application that needs to know this information?
