\raisebox{distance}[extend-above][extend-below]{text}
The \raisebox
command creates a LR box containing text
;
it is used to raise or lower text. The first
mandatory argument specifies how high the text is to be raised (or
lowered if it is a negative amount).
Sometimes it's useful to make LaTeX think something has a different
size than it really does - or a different size than LaTeX would
normally think it has. The \raisebox
command lets you tell LaTeX how
tall it is.
The first optional argument, extend-above
, makes LaTeX think that the
text extends above the current line by the amount specified. The second
optional argument, extend-below
, makes LaTeX think that the text
extends below the current line by the amount specified.
\raisebox
is fragile.
