 Equalize the .parent's child element. See @larsbo's <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/4QTNP/3/">example</a>.
 <pre>$('.parent').equalize({children: 'p'}); // equalize height of paragraphs within .parent</pre>
 
+You can even evaluate your children in groups:
+<pre>$('.parent').equalize({children: 'p', group: 3}); // equalize height of paragraphs in groups of 3 elements within .parent</pre>
