AMSTEX !!!AMSTEX NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION FILES SEE ALSO ---- !!NAME amstex - structured text formatting and typesetting !!SYNOPSIS __amstex__ [[ first line ] !!DESCRIPTION This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete documentation for this version of TEX can be found in the info file or manual ''Web2C: A TeX implementation''. The AMSTEX language is described in the book ''The Joy of TEX''. AMSTEX is a TEX macro package, not a modification to the TEX source program, so all the capabilities described in tex(1) are present. The AMSTEX macros encourage writers to think about the content of their documents, rather than the form. The ideal, not always realized, is to have no formatting commands (like ``switch to italic'' or ``skip 2 picas'') in the document at all; instead, everything is done by specific markup instructions: ``emphasize'', ``start a section''. AMSTEX is the official typesetting system of the American Mathematical Society, and nearly all of its publications are typeset using AMSTEX. The online version of AMS Math Reviews uses AMSTEX input syntax for display of mathematical material. AMS authors can provide editors with computer-readable AMSTEX files. For authors more familiar with L A TEX, an AMS-supported package called ''amsmath.sty'' is is available. !!FILES ''amsguide.tex'' Documentation for AMSTEX, typesettable by TEX. ''amfndoc.tex'' Documentation for AMS fonts, typesettable by TEX. !!SEE ALSO latex(1), tex(1), slitex(1).
