+ ã|Description:ã%
+The \hbox is a TEX markup which, among several uses, can be used to keep a
+word together, preventing hyphenations. For example,
+
+\hbox{low-cut}
+
+would prohibit hyphenation of "low-cut". It can also be used in math mode
+to switch to the roman font. For example,
+
+@x^{34}+\hbox{lower order terms}@
+
+prints as:
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| |
+| x[34]+lower order terms |
+| |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+ ã|Notes:ã%
+You cannot use \autoendnote, \autofootnote, or \footnote within an \hbox.
+ You can also specify an \hbox to take up a certain size. For example,
+
+\hbox to 1in{}
+
+would create a box one inch wide. Refer to the discussion of \leader for
+more on this option of \hbox.
+ For more on this markup refer to The TEXbook.
