Summary description: Drawing rhetorical structure analysis diagrams in LaTeX

Announcement text given by the contribution's author:
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package is of interest for people working in linguistics and language 
technology. 

Drawing rhetorical analyses is no fun when you need to change and update 
diagrams as you refine your work, or, more importantly, if a lot of analyses 
are to be drawn. Voila, there we go: This package enables us to typeset 
beautiful diagrams with no hassle. It is oriented towards the style of 
the diagrams shown in Mann&Thompson's Rhetorical Structure Theory and 
subsequent works. This package works perfectly with (LaTeX) and pdfLaTeX 
and does not require any special postscript capabilities in the output side.
