To +longdesc that end, the eqparbox package defines a new command, \eqparbox, +longdesc which works just like \parbox, except that instead of specifying a +longdesc width, one specifies a tag. All eqparboxes with the same tag -- +longdesc regardless of where they are in the document -- will stretch to +longdesc fit the widest eqparbox with that tag. This simple, equal-width +longdesc mechanism can be used for a variety of alignment purposes, as is +longdesc evidenced by the examples in eqparbox's documentation. Version 2.0 +longdesc makes better use of TeX's memory, allows numbers and symbols to +longdesc appear in tags, preserves fonts across \\ boundaries, and +longdesc eliminates some incorrect \global prefixes.
