This package defines macros which are useful for many documents. It is a large collection of simple ‘little helpers’ which do not really warrant a separate package on their own. Included are, among other things, definitions of common units with preceeding thinspaces, framed boxes where both width and height can be specified, starting new odd or even pages, draft markers, notes, conditional includes, including EPS files, and versions of enumerate and itemize which allow the horizontal and vertical spacing to be changed.
