LATEX(1)                    UNIX System V(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''.
