+<h3>Setting text ragged right</h3>
+<p>The trick with typesetting ragged right is to be sure you've told the
+TeX engine "make this paragraph ragged, but never <em>too</em>
+ragged". The LaTeX <code>\</code><code>raggedright</code> command (and the
+corresponding <code>flushleft</code> environment) has a tendency to
+miss the "never" part, and will often create ridiculously short
+lines, for some minor benefit later in the paragraph. The Plain
+TeX version of the command doesn't suffer this failing, but is
+rather conservative: it is loath to create too large a gap at the end
+of the line, but in some circumstances (such as where
+
+
+<a href="FAQ-hyphoff.html">hyphenation is suppressed</a>) painfully large gaps may
+sometimes be required.
+<p>Martin Schr&ouml;der's <i>ragged2e</i> package offers the best of both
+worlds: it provides raggedness which is built on the Plain TeX
+model, but which is easily configurable. It defines easily-remembered
+command (e.g., <code>\</code><code>RaggedRight</code>) and environment (e.g.,
+<code>FlushLeft</code>) names that are simply capitalised
+transformations of the LaTeX kernel originals. The documentation
+discusses the issues and explains the signficance of the various
+parameters of <i>ragged2e</i>'s operation.
