\makebox
--------

   `\makebox[width][position]{text}'

   The `\makebox' command creates a box just wide enough to contain the
`text' specified.  The width of the box is specified by the optional
`width' argument.  The position of the text within the box is
determined by the optional `position' argument.

   * `c' -- centred (default)

   * `l' -- flushleft

   * `r' -- flushright

   * `s' -- stretch from left to right margin. The text must contain
     stretchable space for this to work.

   Note: \makebox (picture).
