\parbox
\parbox[position][height][inner-pos]{width}{text}
The \parbox
command produces a box whose contents are created
in paragraph
mode. It should be used to make a box small
pieces of text, with nothing fancy inside. In particular, you
shouldn't use any paragraph-making environments inside a
\parbox
argument. For larger pieces of text, including ones
containing a paragraph-making environment, you should use a
minipage
environment (see minipage).
\parbox
has two mandatory arguments:
The optional position argument allows you to align either the top or bottom line in the parbox with the baseline of the surrounding text (default is top).
The optional height argument overrides the natural height of the box.
The inner-pos argument controls the placement of the text inside the box, as follows; if it is not specified, position is used.
