10.13 '@raggedright': Ragged Right Text
=======================================

The '@raggedright' 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 '@raggedright' command is ended by
'@end raggedright' on a line of its own.  This command has no effect in
Info and HTML output, where text is always set ragged right.

  The '@raggedright' 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.

  For example,

     @raggedright
     Commands for double and single angle quotation marks:
     @code{@@guillemetleft@{@}}, @code{@@guillemetright@{@}},
     @code{@@guillemotleft@{@}}, @code{@@guillemotright@{@}},
     @code{@@guilsinglleft@{@}}, @code{@@guilsinglright@{@}}.
     @end raggedright

produces

  Commands for double and single angle quotation marks:
'@guillemetleft{}', '@guillemetright{}', '@guillemotleft{}',
'@guillemotright{}', '@guilsinglleft{}', '@guilsinglright{}'.
