To that end, the +eqparbox package defines \eqparbox, \eqmakebox, \eqframebox, and +\eqsavebox macros and an eqminipage environment. These work, +respectively, just like the \parbox, \makebox, \framebox, and \savebox +macros and the minipage environment, 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. + + +Installation +------------ + +There's nothing special about building eqparbox: + + latex eqparbox.ins <== Generate eqparbox.sty + latex eqparbox.dtx <== Produce the documentation (eqparbox.dvi) + latex eqparbox.dtx <== Again, to get labels and eqparboxes right + makeindex -s gind.ist eqparbox <== Generate an index + makeindex -s gglo.ist eqparbox.glo -o eqparbox.gls <== Generate a change list + latex eqparbox.dtx <== Incorporate the index into the document + +If you're new to this, see +http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=instpackages for more +information on installing packages. + + +Copyright and license +--------------------- + +Copyright (C) 2017 Scott Pakin, scott+eqp@pakin.org + +This package may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions +of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3c of this +license or (at your option) any later version.
