CTAN update: eqparbox
Date: September 5, 2017 1:29:05 PM CEST
Scott Pakin submitted an update to the
eqparbox
package.
Version number: 4.1
License type: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Create equal-widthed parboxes
Announcement text:
LaTeX users sometimes need to ensure that two or more blocks of text occupy the same horizontal space on the page. To that end, the eqparbox package defines \eqparbox, \eqmakebox, \eqframebox, and \eqsavebox macros and an eqminipage environment. These work, respectively, just like the \parbox, \makebox, \framebox, and \savebox macros and the minipage environment, except that instead of specifying a width, one specifies a tag. All boxes with the same tag -- regardless of where they are in the document -- will stretch to fit the widest box that uses that tag. This simple, equal-width mechanism can be used for a variety of alignment purposes, as is evidenced by the examples in eqparbox's documentation. Version 4.1 of eqparbox corrects a few minor problems with the code and documentation.

eqparbox – Create equal-widthed parboxes
LaTeX users sometimes need to ensure that two or more blocks of text occupy the same amount of horizontal space on the page. To that end, the eqparbox package defines a new command, \eqparbox, which works just like \parbox, except that instead of specifying a width, one specifies a tag. All eqparboxes with the same tag—regardless of where they are in the document—will stretch to fit the widest eqparbox with that tag. This simple, equal-width mechanism can be used for a variety of alignment purposes, as is evidenced by the examples in eqparbox's documentation. Various derivatives of \eqparbox are also provided.
