\raggedright
............
This declaration corresponds to the `flushleft' environment. This
declaration can be used inside an environment such as `quote' or in a
`parbox'.
Unlike the `flushleft' environment, the `\raggedright' command does
not start a new paragraph; it simply changes how LaTeX formats
paragraph units. To affect a paragraph unit's format, the scope of the
declaration must contain the blank line or `\end' command (of an
environment like quote) that ends the paragraph unit.
