<P> There are several kinds of commands in L<SUP><SMALL>A</SMALL></SUP>T<SMALL>E</SMALL>X. Most involve a keyword prefixed with a backslash. Here are some examples:

<P> <PRE>

This is a centred line

This is a centred paragraph

This is bold font </PRE>

<P> The first example has no arguments. The second has one argument. The third example is an <I>environment</I> which uses the begin and end keywords instead of a pair of braces to enclose an argument (usually one). The fourth is an example of using a command within a pair of braces: the command applies to the scope within the braces. Tex2RTF treats this form as if it were a command with one argument, with the right brace delimiting the argument. In this case, the command must immediately follow a left brace as shown.

<P> Commands may be nested, but not overlapped.
