<p>After GNU <code class="code">troff</code> performs an automatic break, it may then
<em class="dfn">adjust</em> the line, widening inter-word spaces until the text reaches
the right margin.  Extra spaces between words are preserved.  Leading
and trailing spaces are handled as noted above.  Text can be aligned to
the left or right margin only, or centered; see <a class="ref" href="Manipulating-Filling-and-Adjustment.html">Manipulating Filling and Adjustment</a>.
