shortdesc A macro to typeset paragraphs in specific shapes.
relocated 1
longdesc \shapepar is a macro to typeset paragraphs in a specific shape.
longdesc The size is adjusted automatically so that the entire shape is
longdesc filled with text. There may not be displayed maths or
longdesc '\vadjust' material (no \vspace) in the argument of \shapepar.
longdesc The macros work for both LaTeX and plain TeX. For LaTeX,
longdesc specify \usepackage{shapepar}; for Plain, \input shapepar.sty.
longdesc \shapepar works in terms of user-defined shapes, though the
longdesc package does provide some predefined shapes: so you can form
longdesc any paragraph into the form of a heart by putting
longdesc \heartpar{sometext...} inside your document. The tedium of
longdesc creating these polygon definitions may be alleviated by using
longdesc the shapepatch extension to transfig which will convert xfig
longdesc output to \shapepar polygon form.
