LATEX(1) UNIX 5.3 (5/27/90) LATEX(1)
NAME
latex - intensional text formatting and typesetting
SYNOPSIS
latex [ first line ]
DESCRIPTION
The LaTeX language is described in
LaTeX-ADocumentPreparationSystem by Leslie Lamport,
published by Addison-Wesley. LaTeX is a TeX macro package,
not a modification to the TeX source program, so all the
capabilities described in tex(1) are present.
The LaTeX 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
intensionally: ``emphasize'', ``start a section''.
