<tt>\raisebox{distance}[extend-above][extend-below]{text}</tt>
<p>
The <tt>\raisebox</tt> command creates a LR box containing <tt>text</tt>;
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).
<p>
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 <tt>\raisebox</tt> command lets you tell LaTeX how
tall it is.
<p>
The first optional argument, <tt>extend-above</tt>, makes LaTeX think that the
text extends above the current line by the amount specified. The second
optional argument, <tt>extend-below</tt>, makes LaTeX think that the text
extends below the current line by the amount specified.
<p>
<tt>\raisebox</tt> is <a href="fragile.html">fragile</a>.
