% \section{Introduction}
%
% It is denoted to place some material in full-width at any place 
% on double column page (|\twocolumn| mode) The part of material
% can be placed on the next page. The existing text is placed
% under inserted material in two columns (it is reformatted).
%
% Another usage is to combine the |onecolumn| and |twocolumn|
% typesetting in the same document using commands: 
% \cs{switchonecolumn} and \cs{switchtwocolumn}.
%
% \section{Usage}
%
% \DescribeMacro{strip}
% Provides new environment:
% \begin{verbatim}
%     \begin{strip} 
%     <wide onecolumn material> 
%     \end{strip}
% \end{verbatim}
% Puts |\vbox|\marg{wide onecolumn material} in full-width on
% double-column page.
%
% \medskip
% It can be problems with floats and footnotes. In the case of 
% problems with footnotes it is possible to correct the situation
% using commands |\footnotemark| and |\footnotetext|.
%
% \medskip
% \DescribeMacro{preCutedStrip}\marg{tokens}
% \\\noindent Before the strip |\stripsep| glue and |\the\preCutedStrip| token list \meta{tokens} are added.   
%
% \medskip
% \DescribeMacro{postCutedStrip}\marg{tokens}
% \\\noindent After the strip |\the\postCutedStrip| token list \meta{tokens} and |\stripsep| glue are added.
% 
% \medskip
% \DescribeMacro{stripsep}
% By default: |\stripsep=15pt plus2pt minus 2pt|.
%
% \medskip
% \DescribeMacro{\oldcolsbreak}
% \marg{adds}
% \\\noindent Adds \meta{adds} in place of original column break if strip is placed 
% on the right column. Seems, it should be unnecessary as current version
% uses |pagediscards| dimensions to restore original vertical skip.
%
% \newpage
%
% \DescribeMacro{\switchonecolumn}
% \\\noindent It starts with onecolumn typesetting from the current spot on the page.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\switchtwocolumn}
% \\\noindent It starts with twocolumn typesetting from the current spot on the page
%
% \subsection{Package options}
%
% \begin{description}
% 
% \item[\meta{|spread|}]
%   \texttt{[default]} It enables columns spreading trying to balance.
%
% \item[\meta{|nospread|}]
%   It disables columns spreading trying to balance.
%
% \item[\meta{|shrink|}]
%   \texttt{[default]} It enables columns shrinking trying to balance.
%
% \item[\meta{|noshrink|}]
%   It disables columns shrinking trying to balance.
%
% \medskip
%   \textit{Similiar options exist for single column separatly}: 
%
%   |lspread|, |nolspread|, |lshrink|, |nolshrink| -- for left column  
%
%   |rspread|, |norspread|, |rshrink|, |norshrink| -- for right column  
%
% \item[\meta{|debug|}]
%   Adds rules to the bottom of columns (just for debugging)
%   and some additional log info.
%
% \item[\meta{|nodebug|}]
%   \texttt{[default]} Skips putting debuging lines and additional info.
