+name metre
+category Package
+shortdesc Support for the work of classicists
+longdesc The package provides classicists with some of the tools that are
+longdesc needed for typesetting scholarly publications dealing with Greek
+longdesc and Latin texts, with special emphasis on Greek verse. As the
+longdesc package's name suggests, its core is a comprehensive set of
+longdesc commands for generating metrical schemes and for placing
+longdesc prosodical marks on text set in the Latin or the Greek alphabet.
+longdesc The rest of the package provides a miscellany of commands for
+longdesc symbols (most of them not directly related to metre) that are
+longdesc often used in critical editions of classical texts. The package
+longdesc does not require any special font: all symbols are taken from the
+longdesc Computer Modern fonts (which are included in all TeX
+longdesc distributions) and the package's commands are based on TeX
+longdesc primitives. [description copied from TeX Catalogue]
