+     "The MetaPost package @code{latexMP} implements a user-friendly interface
+to access LaTeX-based typesetting capabilities in MetaPost.  The text to be
+typeset is given as string.  This allows even dynamic text elements, for
+example counters, to be used in labels.  Compared to other implementations it
+is much more flexible, since it can be used as direct replacement for
+@code{btex.etex}, and much faster, compared for example to the solution
+provided by @code{tex.mp}.")
