\title{The \Package{varwidth} package (version 0.92)}
\author{Donald Arseneau\thanks{Documentation put together by Robin Fairbairns}}
\maketitle
\section{The \environment{varwidth} environment}
The package defines a \environment{varwidth} environment (based on
\environment{minipage}) which is an
analogue of \environment{minipage}, but whose resulting width is the
natural width of its contents. A trivial example:
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}[t]{1in}
\cmdinvoke{begin}{varwidth}[1in]\\
\null\quad\texttt{Trivia}\\
\cmdinvoke{end}{varwidth}
\end{minipage}%
\quad and\quad
\begin{minipage}[t]{1in}
\cmdinvoke{begin}{minipage}[1in]\\
\null\quad\texttt{Trivia}\\
\cmdinvoke{end}{minpage}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
produce
\begin{center}
\begin{lrbox}\varbox
\begin{varwidth}{1in}
Trivia
\end{varwidth}
\end{lrbox}
\fbox{\usebox{\varbox}}%
\quad and\quad
\begin{lrbox}\varbox
\begin{minipage}{1in}
Trivia
\end{minipage}
\end{lrbox}
\fbox{\usebox{\varbox}}%
\end{center}
(the output placed in an \cs{fbox} to emphasise the effect).
\section{The \cs{narrowragged} command}
The command works like \cs{raggedright}, but produces generally
narrowe lines in paragraphs, with more text in the last line (the
lines have more-equal lengths).
