+%% Note that you don't have to put the folder where the .tex file is, it is
+%% included automatically, though it is bad practice to put your 
+%% graphics there
+%% LaTeX will search from left to right in the list, so you can put "cropped" versions
+%% in the first directory and it will grab them first. e.g.

+%% Also defines \path{}  which works with filepaths including windows paths.
+%% Watch out that you leave a space after a last \ e.g. \path{C:\ }
+%% You need another verbatim environment to make those typeset properly.
+%% Also defines the \path{} command for paths
+%% Option: obeyspace to deal with spaces in a path/url
+%% Option: spaces to do linebreaks at the spaces.
+%% Option: hyphens to do linebreaks at hyphens.
