flushleftSynopsis:
\begin{flushleft}
line1 \\
line2 \\
...
\end{flushleft}
An environment that creates a paragraph whose lines are flush to the
left-hand margin, and ragged right. If you have lines that are too long
then LaTeX will linebreak them in a way that avoids hyphenation and
stretching or shrinking spaces. To force a new line use a double
backslash, \\. For the declaration form
see \raggedright.
This creates a box of text that is at most 3 inches wide, with the text flush left and ragged right.
\noindent\begin{minipage}{3in}
\begin{flushleft}
A long sentence that will be broken by \LaTeX{}
at a convenient spot. \\
And, a fresh line forced by the double backslash.
\end{flushleft}
\end{minipage}
