+%
+% \subsection{Package options}
+% \label{packopts}
+%
+% There are several package options:
+% \begin{description}
+% \item[\Lopt{showboxes}]When you are laying things out, it can be
+% useful to have the boxes drawn in for you. This option draws a box
+% fitting closely round the set text.
+% \item[\Lopt{noshowtext}]This suppresses the display of the text in
+% each block (so it's not really usable without the \Lopt{showboxes}
+% option). The resulting box will be the correct size, but empty,
+% unless the |\textblocklabel| command has been given. This
+% can be useful when you are previewing a document.
+% \item[\Lopt{absolute}]If this is present, then the positions on the
+% \Lenv{textblock} environment are taken to be absolute positions on
+% the page. See above for more detail, and see
+% section~\ref{absolute-newpage} for the interaction with the
+% |\newpage| command. There is also a \Lopt{relative} option, but
+% since relative mode is, and will remain, the default, the
+% \Lopt{relative} option is redundant, and is here only for symmetry.
+% \item[\Lopt{overlay}]When using the absolute-position mode, the
+% textblocks are placed under any other text on the page. This is
+% normally what you want, but if you have page contents, and they have
+% something
+% which \emph{obscures} the textblocks (for example, a block of opaque
+% colour), then the positioned textboxes disappear. In this case,
+% specify the option \Lopt{overlay}, to request that the positioned
+% blocks of text overlay any other page contents, rather
+% than being overlaid.
+% \item[\Lopt{verbose}, \Lopt{quiet}]The package writes a few messages
+% to the output, describing its calculations. These are potentially
+% irritating, so you can turn them off with the \Lopt{quiet} option or
+% on with the \Lopt{verbose} option. The default is currently
+% \Lopt{verbose}, but this might change in future.
+% \end{description}
+%
+% \subsection{Changing options on the fly}
+% \label{s:changing-options}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\TPoptions}
+% Each of the options mentioned in the previous section can be changed within the body of the text,
+% using the command |\TPoptions| with a comma-separated list of
+% keywords
+% \textit{$\langle$keyword$\rangle$}\texttt{=true} or
+% \textit{$\langle$keyword$\rangle$}\texttt{=false}.
+% The recognised keywords are `absolute', `overlay', `verbose',
+% `showboxes' and `showtext'. Thus the command
+% \begin{quote}
+% |\TPoptions{absolute=false , showboxes = true }|
+% \end{quote}
+% will switch off \Lopt{absolute} mode, and switch on \Lopt{showboxes}
+% mode. As this example illustrates, you can include whitespace in
+% the specification; the arguments \emph{must} be either \texttt{true}
+% or \texttt{false}, or else bad things will happen.
+%
+% You can switch between absolute and relative mode within a page. If
+% a document is to use absolute mode \emph{anywhere} within it,
+% however, it must be \emph{started} in absolute mode, with the
+% \Lopt{absolute} option to the |\usepackage| command.

+%
+% You may give an optional argument to the \Lenv{textblock}
+% environment, specifying which point in the box
+% is to be placed at the specified point:
+% \begin{quote}
+% \begin{raggedright}
+% \cmd|\begin{textblock}{<hsize>}[<ho>,<vo>](<hpos>,<vpos>)|\\
+% text...\\
+% |\end{textblock}|
+% \end{raggedright}
+% \end{quote}
+% The coordinates \meta{ho} and \meta{vo} are fractions of the
+% width and height of the text box, respectively, and state that the
+% box is to be placed so that the reference
+% point (\meta{ho},\meta{vo}) within the box is to be placed at the point
+% (\meta{hpos},\meta{vpos}) on the page. The default specification is
+% [0,0], indicating the top left of the box; the argument [0,1] (for
+% example) would specify the bottom left, and [0.5,0.5] the middle.
+%
+% If the margin is non zero, then the position identified by
+% [\meta{ho},\meta{vo}] is slightly subtle:
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item if the margin was specified with |\TPMargin|, then these
+% coordinates are relative to the box \emph{including} the margin;
+% \item if the margin was specified with |\TPMargin*|, then the
+% coordinates are relative to the contents of the \Lenv{textblock},
+% \emph{excluding} the margin.
+% \end{itemize}
+% For example, in the default case where the positioning argument is
+% [0,0], |\TPMargin| will cause the top-left of the surrounding box to
+% be at position (\meta{hpos},\meta{vpos}) (and the text to be
+% narrower), but |\TPMargin*| will cause the top left of the enclosed
+% text to be at (\meta{hpos},\meta{vpos}) (and the enclosing box to be
+% wider).

+% Note: This behaviour was somewhat underspecified in versions of

+%
+% \begin{description}
+% \item[Switching to absolute mode with \texttt{$\backslash$TPoptions} doesn't work]
+% In order for the \Lopt{absolute} mode to work anywhere, the document
+% has to be \emph{started} in absolute mode (see Sect.~\ref{s:changing-options}).
+% This is a hard-to-avoid limitation of the way that this mode is implemented.
+%
+% \item[Error: `Missing number, treated as zero']
+% If you give absolute values (that is, values with units) to the
+% \Lenv{textblock} environment, then you will be confronted with the
+% rather opaque error `Missing number, treated as zero'. Remember
+% that the \Lenv{textblock} environment requires relative sizes, and
+% the \Lenv{textblock*} environment requires sizes with units; see
+% Sect.~\ref{s:textblock-absolute}. You get a similar error message
+% if you give relative sizes to the \Lenv{textblock*} environment.

+% Changes in the handling of vertical spacing; inconsistent in some
