## 10.11 `@flushleft` and `@flushright`

The `@flushleft` and `@flushright` commands line up the ends of lines on the left and right margins of a page, but do not fill the text. The commands are written on lines of their own, without braces. The `@flushleft` and `@flushright` commands are ended by `@end flushleft` and `@end flushright` commands on lines of their own.

For example,

    @flushleft
    This text is
    written flushleft.
    @end flushleft

produces

> This text is written flushleft.

`@flushright` produces the type of indentation often used in the return address of letters. For example,

    @flushright
    Here is an example of text written
    flushright.  The @code{@flushright} command
    right justifies every line but leaves the
    left end ragged.
    @end flushright

produces

Here is an example of text written flushright. The `@flushright` command right justifies every line but leaves the left end ragged.
