   �|Description:�%
The \hbox is a  TEX markup which, among several uses,  can be used to keep a
word together, preventing hyphenations.  For example,

\hbox{low-cut}

would prohibit hyphenation of  "low-cut".  It can also  be used in math mode
to switch to the roman font.  For example,

@x^{34}+\hbox{lower order terms}@

prints as:

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|                                                                             |
|     x[34]+lower order terms                                                 |
|                                                                             |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

   �|Notes:�%
You cannot use \autoendnote, \autofootnote, or \footnote within an \hbox.
   You can also specify an \hbox to take up a certain size.  For example,

\hbox to 1in{}

would create a  box one inch wide.   Refer to the  discussion of \leader for
more on this option of \hbox.
   For more on this markup refer to The TEXbook.
