+\levelstay{What problem does this solve?}
+Suppose you write an article about octopuses.
+This article might have a sections ``Life cycle'' and ``Habitat''.
+Now suppose you want to write an article on sea animals and you want to have a section on octopuses.
+Obviously, we would like to import the octopus article we already wrote as a section of the sea animals article, but this is nontrivial because we need to somehow convert the habitat and lifecycle sections into subsections only when importing the octopus sub-document into the sea animal article!
+This package provides the \fixedwidth{subimportlevel} macro to make that possible.
+
+For a very detailed discussion on the issue of modularity and how this package solves it, see \href{https://danielsank.github.io/tex_modularity/}{https://danielsank.github.io/tex\_modularity}.
