#Overview The reledmac package is for typesetting critical editions. The reledpar package is an extension of reledmac enabling parallel typesetting in columns or on facing pages.

Reledmac and reledpar are successors of eledmac and eledpar, which were successor of ledmac and ledpar. Ledmac was a LaTeX port, and extension, of the plain TeX EDMAC, TABMAC and EDSTANZA macros.

The package is available on CTAN.
