name emp category Package shortdesc "Encapsulate" MetaPost figures in a document. longdesc Emp is a package for encapsulating MetaPost figures in LaTeX: the longdesc package provides environments where you can place MetaPost longdesc commands, and means of using that code as fragments for building longdesc up figures to include in your document. So, with emp, the longdesc procedure is to run your document with LaTeX, run MetaPost, and longdesc then complete running your document in the normal way. Emp is longdesc therefore useful for keeping illustrations in synchrony with the longdesc text. It also frees you from inventing descriptive names for longdesc PostScript files that fit into the confines of file system longdesc conventions. [description copied from TeX Catalogue]
