Block of text with natrual width but right-aligned

Block of text with natrual width but right-aligned

[Giuseppe Bilotta]

I have a few lines that I need to push towards the right
maring. The lines should all have their natural width, and
be all left-aligned to the left of the block, but the block
itself should be right aligned. Like the following

                                      First line of text   |
                                      Second line of text  |
                                      One more line of text|


How do I achieve this?

One quick and easy way, without worrying about low-level commands, is
with two nested \framed's:
\framed[width=broad,align=left,frame=off,offset=0pt]
{\framed[align=raggedright,frame=off,offset=0pt]
  {First line of text\\
   Second line of text\\
   One more line of text}}


(I played with location= in \framedtext, but it didn't have the results
I expected.)

(Silly mistake...)

\defineframedtext[Giuseppe]
    [align=raggedright,width=fit,offset=0pt,
     frame=off,location=right]

\startGiuseppe
One line\\
Two lines\\
And a couple more
\stopGiuseppe
\input ward \par
\startGiuseppe
Here is\\
another short text to demonstrate things.
\stopGiuseppe
