The varwidth package (version 0.

92)

1 The varwidth environment


The package defines a varwidth environment (based on minipage) which is an analogue of
minipage, but whose resulting width is the natural width of its contents. A trivial example:
\begin{varwidth}{1in} and \begin{minipage}{1in}
Trivia Trivia
\end{varwidth} \end{minipage}
which produces

Trivia and Trivia


(the output placed in an \fbox to emphasise the effect).

2 The \narrowragged command


The command works like \raggedright, but produces generally narrowe lines in paragraphs,
with more text in the last line (the lines have more-equal lengths).
