[latexrefman] node \par

[Vincent Belaïche]

Sorry for my mistake, reading again chap 6 or the TeXByTopic, I found
that ``horizontal mode'' and ``unrestrcited horizontal mode'' are
synonyms. Simlarly ``vertical mode'' and `\outer vertical mode''. The
latters are just as opposed to restrcited horizontal mode, resp. inner
vertical mode.
