+[description]
+
+The package [package textutil::repeat] provides commands to generate
+long strings by repeating a shorter string many times.
+
+[para]
+
+The complete set of procedures is described below.
+
+[list_begin definitions]
+
+[call [cmd ::textutil::repeat::strRepeat] [arg text] [arg num]]
+
+This command returns a string containing the [arg text] repeated
+[arg num] times. The repetitions are joined without characters between
+them. A value of [arg num] <= 0 causes the command to return an empty
+string.
+
+[para]
+
+[emph Note]: If the Tcl core the package is loaded in provides the
+command [cmd {string repeat}] then this command will be implemented in
+its terms, for maximum possible speed. Otherwise a fast implementation
+in Tcl will be used.
+
+[call [cmd ::textutil::repeat::blank] [arg num]]
+
+A convenience command. Returns a string of [arg num] spaces.
