NAME
lamstex - structured text formatting and typesetting
SYNOPSIS
lamstex
[ first line ]
DESCRIPTION
The LAmS-TeX language is described in the book
LAmS-TeX: The Synthesis.
LAmS-TeX is a new system that augments AmSTeX with LaTeX-like features,
but retains the syntactical flavor of AmSTeX. It can be compared with
AmSLaTeX, which augments LaTeX with AmSTeX-like features.
LAmS-TeX is a TeX macro package, not a modification to the TeX source
program, so all the capabilities described in
tex(1)
are present.
The LAmS-TeX 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''.
