Hi there,
I suggest adding a warning to the halign example, pointing out the use
of \linebreak versus \newline (aka \\) in text boxes. \newline destroys
proper aligning. Alas, \\ is often recommended as a way to enforce line
breaks in TeX. This is wrong but widespread, so a warning is warranted.
Cheers,
Michael

!! Note that the alignment features are implemented in such a way, that they work
in both, TeX and LaTeX mode. Furthermore, you can always influence the
alignment of the box contents by appropriate TeX and LaTeX commands as well.

+is equivalent to `\\`). `\linebreak` makes sure that horizontal alignment is preserved
+throughout the text box.
