\raisebox
---------

   `\raisebox{distance}[extend-above][extend-below]{text}'

   The `\raisebox' command is used to raise or lower text.  The first
mandatory argument specifies how high the text is to be raised (or
lowered if it is a negative amount).  The text itself is processed in
`LR mode'.

   Sometimes it's useful to make LaTeX think something has a different
size than it really does - or a different size than LaTeX would
normally think it has.  The `\raisebox' command lets you tell LaTeX how
tall it is.

   The first optional argument, `extend-above', makes LaTeX think that
the text extends above the line by the amount specified.  The second
optional argument, `extend-below', makes LaTeX think that the text
extends below the line by the amount specified.
