<p>The <code>@flushleft</code> and <code>@flushright</code> commands line up the
ends of lines on the left and right margins of a page,
but do not fill the text. The commands are written on lines of their
own, without braces. The <code>@flushleft</code> and <code>@flushright</code>
commands are ended by <code>@end flushleft</code> and <code>@end
flushright</code> commands on lines of their own.
</p>
<p>For example,
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">@flushleft
This text is
written flushleft.
@end flushleft
</pre></div>
<p>produces
</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="left">This text is
written flushleft.
</p></blockquote>
<p><code>@flushright</code> produces the type of indentation often used in the
return address of letters. For example,
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">@flushright
Here is an example of text written
flushright. The @code{@flushright} command
right justifies every line but leaves the
left end ragged.
@end flushright
</pre></div>
<p>produces
</p>
<p align="right">Here is an example of text written
flushright. The <code>@flushright</code> command
right justifies every line but leaves the
left end ragged.
