+     "Typesetting derivatives and differentials in a consistent way are clumsy
+and require care to ensure the preferred formatting.  Several packages have
+been developed for this purpose, each with its own features and drawbacks,
+with the most ambitious one being @code{diffcoeff}.  While this package is
+comparable to diffcoeff in terms of features, it takes a different approach.
+One difference is this package provides more options to tweak the format of
+the derivatives and differentials.  However, the automatic calculation of the
+total order isn't as developed as the one in @code{diffcoeff}.  This package
+makes it easy to write derivatives and differentials consistently with its
+predefined commands.  It also provides a set of commands that can define
+custom derivatives and differential operators.  The options follow
+a consistent naming scheme making them easy to use and understand.")
