10.12 '@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.
