CTAN update: eqparbox
by CTAN Announcements 02 Jan '10

02 Jan '10

This should soon be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ..................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: eqparbox Version number: 3.1 Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/eqparbox Summary description: Put text in boxes that are as wide as the widest text License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LaTeX users sometimes need to ensure that two or more blocks of text occupy the same horizontal space on the page. To that end, the eqparbox package defines eqparbox, eqmakebox, eqframebox, and eqsavebox commands, which work just like parbox, makebox, framebox, and savebox, respectively, except that instead of specifying a width, one specifies a tag. All boxes with the same tag -- regardless of where they are in the document -- will stretch to fit the widest box that uses that tag. This simple, equal-width mechanism can be used for a variety of alignment purposes, as is evidenced by the examples in eqparbox's documentation. Version 3.1 includes Rob Verhoeven's eqmakebox contribution and supplements it with eqframebox and eqsavebox. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/eqparbox .
