>From the README:
-- fixed typo that broke flushbottom. Please note that this

trimmarks to shift
the output box a bit downward. Thanks to Heiko Oberdiek
for the
analysis and fix
-- fixed a typo in an example in the manual
-- changed markml, markmr, marktm and markbm to
place markers

them to do
nothing if needed.

mark types
-- changed the madsen chapter style such that it now have a
better
unnumbered look

Briefly, this package aims at helping the LaTeX user at
underlining a given set of words by either a line (using

implemented for this. This can be used in conjunction with
the phantomtext option, which allows the user to write a
text with gaps, e.g. for a completion by students. These
gaps can be completed with the real input using the
teachernotes option. Please note that this is a really basic
package. For more info on it, please look at the manual.
