- NAME
- latex - intensional text formatting and typesetting
-
- SYNOPSIS
- latex [ first line ]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- The LaTeX language is described in
- LaTeX-A Document Preparation System by Leslie Lamport, pub-
- lished by Addison-Wesley. LaTeX is a TeX macro package, not
- a modification to the TeX source program, so all the capa-
- bilities described in tex(1) are present.
-
- The LaTeX macros encourage writers to think about the con-
- tent 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''.
