lazy.text(..., title = NULL, align = "left", italic = FALSE,
  bold = FALSE, underline = FALSE, sep = "", translate = TRUE, font,
  family, size)

`...`	Text and other objects to be included in the paragraph
`title`	A title for the paragraph
`align`	alignment of the paragraph. Options are `"left", "center", "right"`.
`italic`	Logical. Indicates if the text should be italicized
`bold`	Logical. Indicates if the text shoudl be bolded
`underline`	Logical. Indicates if the text should be underlined
`sep`	Character. Denotes the separation string for the items in `...` when they are pasted together
`translate`	Toggles if inputs in `x` should be passed through `latexTranslate`. This should be set to `FALSE` if writing custom code.
`font`	HTML font for the paragraph. Defaults to the HTML option (see `setHtmlOptions`).
`family`	HTML font family for the paragraph. Defaults to the HTML option (see `setHtmlOptions`).
`size`	Text size of the paragraph. Defaults to the HTML option (see `setHtmlOptions`). May be an integer or a LaTeX size descriptor. See "Details" for options

Options for text size are

tiny	smallest
scriptsize
footnotesize
small
normalsize
large
Large
LARGE
huge
Huge	BIGGEST

When size is denoted as an integer, as necessary for HTML, it is mapped to a LaTeX size using map.size. Likewise, the LaTeX descriptors can be mapped to integers using map.size.

Additional formatting may be applied using commands such as textbf{} for bold text, emph{} for italics, and ul{} for underlined text (assuming the soul package is available), but doing so is probably easier using lazy.text.format.

## Not run: 
lazy.write(
  lazy.file.start(),
  lazy.text("Typically we want our paragraphs to be left 
    justified.  This is often what we expect to see when reading."),
  lazy.text("However, we may also have occasions where we would 
    like to center our text.  It's one of many ways we can make the 
    words stand out on the page", align="center"),
  lazy.text("A more traditional way to make the text stand out might be
    to use bold text or italics, such as these", bold=TRUE, italic=TRUE),
