 % This package emerged from my personal need to typeset diagrams based on seventeenth-century theology books.

 % The \meta{width} of a |\schemabox| is a dimension, e.g. 3cm. No wrapping takes place. Each line of \meta{text} must be terminated explicitly by |\\|, except the final line. The first line of a |\schemabox| inserts a |\strut| for aesthetic reasons.
 %
+% Certainly, it is not mandatory to use a |\schemabox|. Indeed, anything that creates a box whose width is smaller than |\textwidth| can be useful. For example, one can create 1cm$^2$ boxes:\\[1ex]

+% \medskip\noindent Both |\schema| and |\Schema| are vertical, so they will stack vertically if invoked sequentially. A |tabular| environment prevented that stacking above. If one does not use ``ex'' height for \meta{size} in a |\Schema|, one should specify a \meta{size} slightly less than half the height of the contents. Above, a \meta{size} of |0.9cm| suffices for a content of |2cm|. This approach is meant to facilitate sizing content according to lines of text, which is what schemata usually hold.

+% By default, a |\schemabox| automatically adds a |\strut| to the first line because it is often the case that the topics in a schema start in some fashion with a capitalized letter. Using |\Schema| allows one to manually adjust the brace height, but |\schema|, as used above, looks wrong with the lowercase content unless one uses |\LCschema| in order to suppress adding a |\strut|. |\UCschema| restores the default.
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\SwitchSB} |\SwitchSB| is a ``per-use'' macro that causes a particular |\schemabox| to do the opposite of whatever |\LCschema| and |\UCschema| call for. It should be placed immediately before the |\schemabox| and is reset thereafter.
+%
+% This still does not correct for the fact that |\schema| adjusts its height with respect to the ascenders and descenders, not the height of the first letter. Inserting |\vskip-0.8ex| before |\schemabox{Ex parallelismo|\dots{} causes the material in the |\schema| to look centered on the first letters. Still, if one must go to all that trouble, one could easily use |Schema|.
+%
+% This example also shows that one can have a heterogeneous collection of vertically-centered material within the LHS and RHS braces of |\Schema|. Doing that with |\schema| is not recommended.
