This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete |
| |
|
20 |
documentation for this version of TEX can be found in the |
| |
|
21 |
info file or manual ''Web2C: A TeX |
| |
|
22 |
implementation''. |

The L A TEX language is described in the book |
| |
|
26 |
L A TEX ''- A Document Preparation |
| |
|
27 |
System''. L A TEX is a TEX macro package, |
| |
|
28 |
not a modification to the TEX source program, so all the |
| |
|
29 |
capabilities described in tex(1) are |
| |
|
30 |
present. |
| |
|
31 |
|
| |
|
32 |
|
| |
|
33 |
The L A TEX macros encourage writers to think |
| |
|
34 |
about the content of their documents, rather than the form. |
| |
|
35 |
The ideal, very difficult to realize, is to have no |
| |
|
36 |
formatting commands (like ``switch to italic'' or ``skip 2 |
| |
|
37 |
picas'') in the document at all; instead, everything is done |
| |
|
38 |
by specific markup instructions: ``emphasize'', ``start a |
| |
|
39 |
section''. |
| |
|
40 |
|

|

|

The primary source of documentation for L A |
| |
|
43 |
TEX is the L A TEX manual referenced below, |
| |
|
44 |
and the local guide in the file ''local-guide.tex'' or |
| |
|
45 |
''local.tex'' or some such. |
| |

__elatex__ is the e-X extended mode version of L |
| |
|
49 |
A TEX format. |
| |
|
50 |
|
| |
|
51 |
|
| |
|
52 |
__lambda__ is the Omega version of the L A |
| |
|
53 |
TEX format. |
| |
|
54 |
|
| |
|
55 |
|
| |
|
56 |
__pdflatex__ is the pdfTEX version of the L |
| |
|
57 |
A TEX format. |
| |
|
58 |
|
| |
|
59 |
|
| |
|
60 |
On some systems __latex209__ and __slitex__ are |
| |
|
61 |
available for compatibility with older versions of L |
| |
|
62 |
A TEX. These should not be used for new |
| |
|
63 |
texts. |
