+<h3>Cancelling <code>\</code><code>ragged</code> commands</h3>
+<p/>LaTeX provides commands <code>\</code><code>raggedright</code> and <code>\</code><code>raggedleft</code>, but
+none to cancel their effect. The <code>\</code><code>centering</code> command is
+implemented in the same way as the <code>\</code><code>ragged*</code> commands, and suffers
+in the same way.
+<p/>The following code (to be inserted in a package of your own, or as
+
+<a href="FAQ-atsigns.html">internal LaTeX code</a>) defines a command that
+restores flush justification at both margins:
+<pre>
+\def\flushboth{%
+ \let\\\@normalcr
+ \@rightskip\z@skip \rightskip\@rightskip
+ \leftskip\z@skip
+ \parindent 1.5em\relax}
+</pre>
+There&rsquo;s a problem with the setting of <code>\</code><code>parindent</code> in the code: it&rsquo;s
+necessary because both the <code>\</code><code>ragged</code> commands set <code>\</code><code>parindent</code> to
+zero, but the setting isn&rsquo;t a constant of nature: documents using a
+standard LaTeX class with <code>twocolumn</code> option will have
+<code>1.0em</code> by default, and there&rsquo;s no knowing what you (or some
+other class) will have done.
+<p/>Any but a really old copy of Martin Schr&ouml;der&rsquo;s <i>ragged2e</i>
+package has a <code>\</code><code>justifying</code> command to match its
+<a href="FAQ-ragright.html">versions of the LaTeX &lsquo;ragged&rsquo; commands</a>. The
+package also provides a <code>justify</code> environment, which
+permits areas of justified text in a larger area which is ragged.
