# \makebox

`\makebox[width][position]{text}`

The `\makebox` command creates a box just wide enough to contain the `text` specified. The width of the box is specified by the optional `width` argument. The position of the text within the box is determined by the optional `position` argument.

- `c` -- centred (default)
- `l` -- flushleft
- `r` -- flushright
- `s` -- stretch from left to right margin. The text must contain stretchable space for this to work.

See section \makebox.
