This package collection for the [SILE](https://github.com/sile-typesetter/sile) typesetting

system provides struts, paragraph boxes (parbox), framed boxes (framebox) and

tables (ptable).

The two first are building blocks:

- In professional typesetting, a “strut” is a rule with no width but a certain

  height and depth, to help guaranteeing that an element has a certain minimal

  height and depth, e.g. in tabular environments or in boxes.

- A paragraph box (“parbox”) is an horizontal box (so technically an “hbox”)

  that contains, as its name implies, one or more paragraphs (so the displayed

  content is actually made of vertical glues and boxes)

Tables are what you would expect.

As the name implies, framed boxes are horizontal content framed in a nice

box. The package offers various interesting options and goodies.

(Refer to the SILE manual for more detailed 3rd-party package installation information.)

## Usage

of classes and packages.
