This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete |
| |
|
21 |
documentation for this version of TEX can be found in the |
| |
|
22 |
info file or manual ''Web2C: A TeX |
| |
|
23 |
implementation''. |

The AMSTEX language is described in the book ''The Joy of |
| |
|
27 |
TEX''. AMSTEX is a TEX macro package, not a modification |
| |
|
28 |
to the TEX source program, so all the capabilities described |
| |
|
29 |
in tex(1) are present. |
| |
|
30 |
|
| |
|
31 |
|
| |
|
32 |
The AMSTEX macros encourage writers to think about the |
| |
|
33 |
content of their documents, rather than the form. The ideal, |
| |
|
34 |
not always realized, is to have no formatting commands (like |
| |
|
35 |
``switch to italic'' or ``skip 2 picas'') in the document at |
| |
|
36 |
all; instead, everything is done by specific markup |
| |
|
37 |
instructions: ``emphasize'', ``start a |
| |
|
38 |
section''. |

AMSTEX is the official typesetting system of the American |
| |
|
42 |
Mathematical Society, and nearly all of its publications are |
| |
|
43 |
typeset using AMSTEX. The online version of AMS Math Reviews |
| |
|
44 |
uses AMSTEX input syntax for display of mathematical |
| |
|
45 |
material. AMS authors can provide editors with |
| |
|
46 |
computer-readable AMSTEX files. |

For authors more familiar with L A TEX, an |
| |
|
50 |
AMS-supported package called ''amsmath.sty'' is is |
| |
|
51 |
available. |
