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} Trivia \end{varwidth} and \begin{minipage}{1in} Trivia \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).
