+This is the README file for the longfbox package.
+
+VERSION
+
+Version 1.0, December 2015
+
+SUMMARY
+
+The `longfbox` package provides convenient framed boxes that can be customized
+using standard CSS attributes and broken over multiple pages.
+It was written to support precise rendering of Madoko documents in LaTeX.
+Notable features are:
+
+* Specify the boxes using standard CSS attributes like `border-style=dashed`
+ or `border-top-left-radius=10pt`. Almost all of the CSS 2.0 attributes
+ with regard to borders, background, padding, and margins are supported.
+
+* Fast and portable: only uses the standard LaTeX `picture`
+ environment for drawing and does not depend on loading big packages
+ like `tikz` or `pstricks`, which makes running LaTeX much faster.
+
+* Supports breakable boxes that span multiple columns or pages. This package
+ builds on the `longbox` package to break boxes over multiple pages.
+
+* Much care has been put in precise rendering with proper baseline
+ alignment and no spurious extra whitespace.
+
+* In contrast to larger packages like `mdframed` or `tcolorbox`, the
+ `longfbox` package does not have more extensive features like frame
+ titles, middle lines, skins, etc. The focus of this package
+ is on rendering boxes well with full CSS support where every
+ corner and side can be styled separately with good looking transitions
+ (and where we only depend on the standard `picture` environment).
