  10. The \hbox is a  TEX markup which, among several uses,  can be used to keep a
  11. word together, preventing hyphenations.  For example,
  12.  
  13. \hbox{low-cut}
  14.  
  15. would prohibit hyphenation of  "low-cut".  It can also  be used in math mode
  16. to switch to the roman font.  For example,
  17.  
  18. @x^{34}+\hbox{lower order terms}@
  19.  
  20. prints as:
  21.

  29. You cannot use \autoendnote, \autofootnote, or \footnote within an \hbox.
  30.     You can also specify an \hbox to take up a certain size.  For example,
  31.  
  32. \hbox to 1in{}
  33.  
  34. would create a  box one inch wide.   Refer to the  discussion of \leader for
  35. more on this option of \hbox.
  36.     For more on this markup refer to The TEXbook.
