flushleft
¶Synopsis:
\begin{flushleft} line1 \\ line2 \\ ... \end{flushleft}
An environment that creates a paragraph whose lines are flush to the
left-hand margin, and ragged right. If you have lines that are too long
then LaTeX will linebreak them in a way that avoids hyphenation and
stretching or shrinking interword spaces. To force a new line use a double
backslash, \\
. For the declaration form
see \raggedright
.
This creates a box of text that is at most 3 inches wide, with the text flush left and ragged right.
\noindent\begin{minipage}{3in} \begin{flushleft} A long sentence that will be broken by \LaTeX{} at a convenient spot. \\ And, a fresh line forced by the double backslash. \end{flushleft} \end{minipage}
