<span id="raggedright"></span><span id="index-raggedright"></span>
<span id="index-Ragged-right_002c-with-filling"></span>
<p>The <code>@raggedright</code> fills text as usual, but the text is only
justified on the left; the right margin is ragged. The command is
written on a line of its own, without braces. The
<code>@raggedright</code> command is ended by <code>@end raggedright</code> on a
line of its own. This command has no effect in Info and HTML output,
where text is always set ragged right.
</p>
<p>The <code>@raggedright</code> command can be useful with paragraphs
containing lists of commands with long names, when it is known in
advance that justifying the text on both margins will make the
paragraph look bad.
</p>
<p>An example (from elsewhere in this manual):
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">@raggedright
Commands for double and single angle quotation marks:
@code{@@guillemetleft@{@}}, @code{@@guillemetright@{@}},
@code{@@guillemotleft@{@}}, @code{@@guillemotright@{@}},
@code{@@guilsinglleft@{@}}, @code{@@guilsinglright@{@}}.
@end raggedright
</pre></div>
<p>produces
</p>
<p>Commands for double and single angle quotation marks:
<code>@guillemetleft{}</code>, <code>@guillemetright{}</code>,
<code>@guillemotleft{}</code>, <code>@guillemotright{}</code>,
<code>@guilsinglleft{}</code>, <code>@guilsinglright{}</code>.
