+@item (min-width (@var{width}))
+This display specification adds padding to the end of the text if the
+text is shorter than @var{width}.  The text is partitioned using the
+identity of the parameter, which is why the parameter is a list with
+one element.  For instance:
+
+@lisp
+(insert (propertize "foo" '(display (min-width (6.0)))))
+@end lisp

+This will add padding after @samp{foo} bringing the total width up to
