@flushleft and @flushright

The @flushleft and @flushright 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 @flushleft and @flushright commands are ended by @end flushleft and @end flushright commands on lines of their own.

For example,

     @flushleft
     This text is
     written flushleft.
     @end flushleft
     

produces

This text is written flushleft.

@flushright produces the type of indentation often used in the return address of letters. For 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
     

produces

Here is an example of text written

flushright. The @flushright command

right justifies every line but leaves the

left end ragged.
