+gives the width of the box into which CONTENTS are typeset.
+
+   There are three optional arguments, POSITION, HEIGHT, and INNER-POS.
+You need not include all three.  For example, get the default POSITION
+and set the HEIGHT with '\begin{minipage}[c][2.54cm] CONTENTS
+\end{minipage}'.  (Get the natural height with an empty argument, '[]'.)
+
+   The optional argument POSITION governs how the 'minipage' vertically
+aligns with the surrounding material.

+   with the results of changing 'c' to 'b' or 't'.
+
+   The optional argument HEIGHT is a rigid length (*note Lengths::).  It
+sets the height of the 'minipage'.  You can enter any value larger than,
+or equal to, or smaller than the 'minipage''s natural height and LaTeX
+will not give an error or warning.  You can also set it to a height of
+zero or a negative value.
+
+   The final optional argument INNER-POS controls the placement of

-Synopsis:
+Synopses:
 
-     \parbox[POSITION][HEIGHT][INNER-POS]{WIDTH}{TEXT}
+     \parbox{WIDTH}{CONTENTS}
 
-   The '\parbox' command produces a box whose contents are created in
-"paragraph mode".  It should be used to make a box small pieces of text,
-with nothing fancy inside.  In particular, you shouldn't use any
-paragraph-making environments inside a '\parbox' argument.  For larger
-pieces of text, including ones containing a paragraph-making
-environment, you should use a 'minipage' environment (*note minipage::).
+   or:
 
-   '\parbox' has two mandatory arguments:
+     \parbox[POSITION][HEIGHT][INNER-POS]{WIDTH}{CONTENTS}
 
-WIDTH
-     the width of the parbox;
-TEXT
-     the text that goes inside the parbox.
+   Produce a box of text that is WIDTH wide.  Use this command to make a
+box small pieces of text; its contents are created in "paragraph mode".
+For larger pieces of text, including ones containing a paragraph-making
+environment, use a 'minipage' environment (*note minipage::).
 
-   By default LaTeX will position vertically a parbox so its center
-lines up with the center of the surrounding text line.  When the
-optional POSITION argument is present and equal either to 't' or 'b',
-this allows you respectively to align either the top or bottom line in
-the parbox with the baseline of the surrounding text.  You may also
-specify 'm' for POSITION to get the default behaviour.

+                              this semilog paper, the relationship is exponential.}}
+     \end{picture}
 
-   The optional HEIGHT argument overrides the natural height of the box.
+   The options for '\parbox' (except for CONTENT) are the same as those
+for MINIPAGE.  So a summary of those options is here but see *note
+minipage:: for a complete description.
 
-   The INNER-POS argument controls the placement of the text inside the
-box, as follows; if it is not specified, POSITION is used.
+   There are two required argument to '\parbox'.  The WIDTH is a rigid
+length (*note Lengths::).  It sets the width of the box into which LaTeX
+typesets CONTENTS.  The CONTENTS is the text that is placed in that box.
+It should not have any paragraph-making components.
 
-'t'
-     text is placed at the top of the box.
-'c'
-     text is centered in the box.
-'b'
-     text is placed at the bottom of the box.
-'s'
-     stretch vertically; the text must contain vertically stretchable
-     space for this to work.
+   There are three optional arguments, POSITION, HEIGHT, and INNER-POS.
+The POSITION gives the vertical alignment of the 'parbox' with respect
+to the surrounding material.  The possible values are 'c' or 'm' (the
+vertical center of the 'parbox' lines up with the center of the adjacent
+line; this is the default), or 't' (match either the top line of the
+'parbox' with the baseline of the surrounding material), or 'b' (match
+the bottom line).
 
+   The optional argument HEIGHT overrides the natural height of the box.
+
+   The optional argument INNER-POS controls the placement of CONTENT
+inside the 'parbox'.  Its default is the value of POSITION.  Its
+possible values are: 't' to put the CONTENT at the top of the box, 'c'
+to put it in the vertical center, 'b' to put it at the bottom of the
+box, and 's' to stretch it out vertically; the text must contain
+vertically stretchable space.
+
+   This command is fragile (*note \protect::).
