 % \DescribeMacro{\sidenote}
-% The macro is very similar to
-% the footnote macro and tries to emulate its behavior. But like the name
-% says, the note is put in the margin, hence the name sidenote. It has the
-% same parameters as footnote, plus an additional offset:
-% \verb+\sidenote[number][offset]{text}+. The sidenote moves up or down (floats)
-% to not overlap with other floats in the margin if no offset is given. 
-% and all the sidenotes are subsequently numbered. The
-% first, optional parameter will manually change the numbering.
-% The sidenote will be fixed at a particular position in the margin if the
-% offset parameter is used.
+% The macro is very similar to the footnote macro and tries to emulate
+% its behavior. It just puts the notes in the margin instead of the bottom
+% of the page, therefore the name \emph{sidenote}. It has the same parameters 
+% as footnote as well as an additional offset:
+% \verb+\sidenote[number][offset]{text}+. All the sidenotes are subsequently 
+% numbered and float in the margin to avoid overlap.  
+% The first, optional parameter will manually change the numbering to the given
+% value. The second offset parameter will fix the text at a certain position 
+% in the margin. In particular, there is a difference between not providing an 
+% offset (floating text) and an offset of 0 (fix text at actual position).
 %
 % \DescribeMacro{\sidenotemark} 
-% Sidenote tries to mimic the footnote behavior and tries to provide the same solutions. 
-% Sometimes it is not possible to directly
-% call a sidenote macro, e.g. in particular environments. Then, 
-% you can also use \verb+\sidenotemark[number]+ and \verb+\sidenotetext[number][offset]{text}+ 
-% commands. \verb+\sidenotemark+ puts a mark at the current position. Then, outside of the environment

-% to actually make the sidenote. The

-% parameter will change the position manually.
+% it is possible the call \verb+\sidenotetext[number][offset]{text}+ to provide 
+% the text and typeset the sidenote. The optional parameters are similar to the

 %
 %\DescribeMacro{\sidecaption}
-% The \verb+\sidecaption[entry][offset]{text}+ macro can be used if the caption of a figure or table 
-% is supposed to be in the margin. The caption has to be adjacent to the figure, so a float is not an option
-% here. Therefore, the caption might overlap with sidenotes that have to be manually adjusted. 
-% Please note, that the formatting is done by the caption package by defining a sidecaption style. 
-%\DescribeMacro{\sidecaption*}
-% This macro has a sister \verb+\sidecaption*[offset]{text}+ that generates no entry.
+% The \verb+\sidecaption[entry][offset]{text}+ macro can be used if the caption 
+% of a figure or table should be in the margin. The caption has to be adjacent 
+% to the figure, so a float is not an option here. Therefore, the caption might 
+% overlap with other marginals. Then, these marginals have to be adjusted with
+% offset parameters. The formatting of the caption is done by the \emph{caption}
+% package by defining a \emph{sidecaption} style. Please refer to the 
+% documentation of the caption package for information on styles. The macro can
+% be starred, which is analog to the regular starred caption (no numbering, no 
+% tof entry): \verb+\sidecaption*[offset]{text}+.
 %
 % \DescribeEnv{marginfigure}
-% The marginfigure environment puts a figure and its caption in the margin. Instead of 
-% \verb+\begin{figure}[htbp]+ use \verb+\begin{marginfigure}[offset]+. The offset switches the behavior
-% from float to fixed position. 
+% The marginfigure environment puts a figure and its caption in the margin. 
+% Instead of \verb+\begin{figure}[htbp]+ use \verb+\begin{marginfigure}[offset]+. 
+% Again, using an offset value switches the behavior from float to fixed 
+% position. The marginfigure has its own caption style named \emph{marginfigure}.   
 %
 % \DescribeEnv{margintable}
-% The margintable environment works similarly, but with table environments. Use \verb+\begin{margintable}[offset]+ instead
-% of \verb+\begin{table}[htbp]+.
+% The margintable environment works similar to marginfigure, but with table 
+% environments. Use \verb+\begin{margintable}[offset]+ instead of 
+% \verb+\begin{table}[htbp]+, its caption style is named \emph{margintable}.
 %
 % \DescribeEnv{figure*}
-% The \verb+figure*+ environment is used to position figures across the full page, i.e. the text width plus
-% margin. The captions type can be changed by changing the widefigure style. 
+% The \verb+figure*+ environment is used to position figures across the full 
+% page, i.e. the text width plus the margin. The algorithm has to distinguish
+% between recto and verso (left and right) pages and might need up to three
+% \LaTeX{} runs to provide the desired result. The corresponding caption style
+% is called \emph{widefigure}. 
 % \DescribeEnv{table*}
-% The \verb+table*+ environment is very similar, but for tables. Use widetable for its caption style.  
+% The sister environment for tables is \verb+table*+. Use \emph{widetable} to 
+% change its caption style. 
 %
 % \section{Technical note}
 %
-% When writing the package, we tried to provide a minimum extension to standard \LaTeX{} for typesetting
-% rich content in the margin. Also, we tried to not break compatibility with packages the user might 
-% want to additionally load in a custom class file or a document. However, the following packages are 
-% needed by this package and might introduce side effects with other packages.
+% When writing the package, we tried to provide a \emph{minimum} extension to 
+% standard \LaTeX{} for typesetting rich content in the margin. This means,
+% that there are no sensible default values for most things such as page
+% geometry, fonts and font sizes. However, the \emph{caesar\textunderscore 
+% book}-class accompanies this package as an example implementation as well 
+% as a template we use for our theses. 
+% 
+% In addition, we tried to keep compatibility with 
+% packages the user might want to use later. However, the following packages 
+% are needed by \emph{sidenotes} and might introduce side effects with other 
+% packages.

 %     \item[marginnote]
-%        supports another command to create notes in the margin. The notes are not floats and can be shifted up or down. 
+%        supports an alternative to \verb+\marginpar+ and creates notes in the 
+%        margin. The notes are not floats and can be shifted up or down. 
+%        Technically, every time an offset is provided the package uses 
+%        \verb+\marginnote+ and \verb+\marginpar+ otherwise.
 %     \item[caption]
-%        is used to set figure and table captions in the margin and to allow formatting of these captions.
-%	  \item[xifthen] is used to test for empty, optional arguments.  
-%     \item[twoopt] is used to define macros with two optional arguments.
-%     \item[changepage] is used to correctly shift figure* and table*. It has to use the option [strict]. 
+%        allows to set figure and table captions in the margin and allows 
+%        easier formatting of these captions. Please refer to the  
+%        \emph{caption} manual for details on styles. 
+%     \item[xparse] is used to take advantage of the improved \LaTeX3 syntax.
+%        All macros and environments are defined using this package.
+%     \item[changepage] is used to correctly shift figure* and table*. It has 
+%        to use the option [strict] to work properly. This might lead to an 
+%        option clash, if the same package is loaded without this option.
