The bytefield package helps the user create illustrations

bits and bytes are laid out in a packet, register, or
memory.
Version 2.1 of bytefield includes code due to Renaud Pacalet
for continuing the bit numbering when a word is typeset
split across lines; it gives \ an optional length
argument just like in a tabular; and it makes bit endianness
a full-fledged bytefield option that can be specified once
per document rather than requiring that it be specified in
each individual bytefield environment (although that too is
allowed).
