This is a small package which attempt to set the document in ragged
right as much as possible.  It can use Martin Schr�der's Ragged2e
package, if available, if the standard \raggedright is too ragged.

Use:
In the preamble of a document you can say
 \usepackage{raggedr}
or
 \usepackage[ragged2e]{raggedr}

Your document will be set ragged right, moreover parboxes, minipages and
p{} columns of tabulars will be set raggedright.

If you want part of you document justified there is a command,
\justifying and an evironment \begin{justfiy}...\end{justify}
These can be used just as \centering and the center environment.

Finally, there is a problem getting a new line in a ragged right
tabular, as both \\ and tabular newline will start a new row. Therefore
the command \raggednewline is provided to do a normal newline.

This package depends apon some LaTeX2e internals.  If those internals
change, this package will break.

This package is largely untested in the real world. I welcome any
comments.
