+shortdesc A fast DVI to PNG converter.
+longdesc This program makes PNG graphics from DVI files as obtained from
+longdesc TeX and its relatives. Its benefits include its speed (it is the
+longdesc fastest bitmap-rendering code for DVI files known to the author.
+longdesc On a fairly low-end laptop, it takes less than a second to
+longdesc generate 150 one-formula images), it does not read the postamble
+longdesc (so it can be started before TeX finishes and there is a -follow
+longdesc switch that makes dvipng wait at EOF for further output, unless it
+longdesc finds the POST marker that indicates the end of the DVI), and it
+longdesc supports PK, VF and Type1 fonts, color specials, simple PostScript
+longdesc inclusion and more. The motivation for this project is preview-
+longdesc latex, a previewing tool for LaTeX in emacs, but since dvipng can
+longdesc be independently useful, a separate package is provided.
