There are several reasons why this might be useful, but +the main one (or at least my motivating one) is to help produce a +large-format conference poster. + +This package provides a single environment, plus a starred variant, +which contains the text (or graphics, or table, or whatever) which is +to be placed on the page, and which specifies where it is to be +placed. The environment is accompanied by various configuration +commands. + +For the change history, see textpos.html. + +The canonical CTAN URL for Textpos is <https://ctan.org/pkg/textpos>. +Textpos has a home page at <http://purl.org/nxg/dist/textpos>. +The source is hosted at bitbucket: <https://bitbucket.org/nxg/textpos>, +and there is an issues list there, for bug reports. + + +Installation +------------ + +Download or find the file textpos.sty. Install textpos.sty somewhere +LaTeX will find it (see <http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=inst-wlcf>). + +This package requires the services of Martin Schroeder's package +everyshi. You will need to download this package from CTAN first.
