How To Install texlive-eqparbox on CentOS 8
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install texlive-eqparbox on CentOS 8.
What is texlive-eqparbox
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 eqparbox package defines a new command, \eqparbox, which works just like \parbox, except that instead of specifying a width, one specifies a tag. All eqparboxes with the same tag–regardless of where they are in the document– will stretch to fit the widest 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 eqparbox’s documentation. Various derivatives of \eqparbox are also provided.
