A.4.5 Template for an Introduction

In rare cases one might want an introduction to an extensive code containing more formal information. For example, if software is packaged into one large file for release containing numerous modules, and routines, one might desire some introductory documentation about the release. For this purpose the BOI and EOI markers are available. They mark a documentation region which will be become the title page of a finished LaTeX document.
