+The package provides support for the manipulation and reference of small
+or `sub' figures and tables within a single figure or table
+environment. It is convenient to use this package when your subfigures
+are to be separately captioned, referenced, or are to be included in the
+List-of-Figures. A new \subfigure command is introduced which can be
+used inside a figure environment for each subfigure. An optional first
+argument is used as the caption for that subfigure. This package
+supersedes the subfigure package (which will continue to be supported,
+but no longer maintained). The name has changed because the subfig
+package is not completely backward compatible with the older subfigure
+package due to an extensive rewrite to use the new caption package to
+produce its subcaptions. The major advantage to the new package is that
+the user interface is keyword/value driven and easier to use. To ease
+the transition from the subfigure package it includes a configuration
+file (subfig.cfg) which nearly emulates the subfigure package.
