+Textpos: absolute positioning of text on the LaTeX page
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+Version 1.9.1, 2019 April 15
+
+This package facilitates placing boxes at absolute positions on the
+LaTeX page. 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. See
+<https://www.ctan.org/pkg/everyshi>.
