This declaration
corresponds to the flushright
environment. This
declaration can be used inside an environment such as quote or in a
parbox.
Unlike the flushright environment, the \raggedleft 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.
