+    (description
+     "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
+@code{eqparbox} package defines a new command, @code{\\eqparbox}, which works
+just like @code{\\parbox}, except that instead of specifying a width, one
+specifies a tag.  All @code{eqparbox}es with the same tag---regardless of
+where they are in the document---will stretch to fit the widest
+@code{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
+@code{eqparbox}'s documentation.  Various derivatives of @code{\\eqparbox} are
+also provided.")
