+# pbalance - poor man's balance package for LaTeX
+
+This is a LaTeX package that tries to *safely* make the columns on the last
+page of a two-column document have approximately the same height. It should
+"just work" without user intervention, which is particularly useful for
+class authors, but also offers the user a command to control the result.
+There are, however, three caveats:
+
+1. Results are adequate, but often not optimal;
+2. In some cases, the package may give up (the document is
+ generated correctly but the last page is not balanced);
+3. The package demands additional LaTeX passes.
+
+Code etc: <https://gitlab.com/lago/pbalance>
