+LaTeX bundle adjustbox
+========================
+Copyright (c) 2011-2019 by Martin Scharrer <martin@scharrer-online.de>
+WWW: <https://bitbucket.org/martin_scharrer/adjustbox> (incl. bug tracker)
+
+This bundle contains the the adjustbox package and its auxiliary packages trimclip and adjcalc.
+The initial purpose of adjustbox was to supplement the standard graphics/x package,
+which defines the macros \resizebox, \scalebox and \rotatebox, with the macros \trimbox and \clipbox.
+An additional \marginbox macro is also provided.
+These macros are now placed in the dedicated package trimclip which is loaded by adjustbox.
+The package comes with clipping driver files are provided for pdftex (incl. LuaLaTeX), dvips and xetex. A
+fall-back driver which uses the pgf package is still included.
+The driver files got written by Joseph Wright (LaTeX3 project) and the package author.
+
+The main feature of adjustbox is the general \adjustbox macro which extends the key=value
+interface of \includegraphics from the graphicx package, and applies it to general text
+content. It also provides further text/box modifications keys, macros and envionments.
+
+Both adjustbox and trimclip use the adjcalc package to allow for algebraic expressions for all length
+arguments. The adjcalc package can use either e-TeX, the calc package or the pgfmath package.
+
+All macros use the authors other package collectbox to read the content as box and not as
+macro argument. This allows for all forms of content including special material like verbatim content.
+A special feature of collectbox is used to provide matching environments with the identical names as the
+macros.
