+category Package
+shortdesc Create equal-widthed parboxes
+longdesc LaTeX users sometimes need to ensure that two or more blocks of
+longdesc text occupy the same amount of horizontal space on the page. 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. [description copied
