+ LATEX HELP 1.6
+ translated (with minor changes) for vim
+ by Mikolaj Machowski
+
+This file documents LaTeX2e, a document preparation system. LaTeX2e is a
+macro package for TeX.
+
+ This is edition 1.6 of the LaTeX2e documentation, and is for the Texinfo
+that is distributed as part of Version 19 of GNU Emacs. It uses version
+2.134 or later of the texinfo.tex input file.
+
+ This is translated from LATEX.HLP v1.0a in the VMS Help Library. The
+pre-translation version was written by George D. Greenwade of Sam Houston
+State University.
+
+ The LaTeX 2.09 version was written by Stephen Gilmore <stg@dcs.ed.ac.uk>.
+
+ The LaTeX2e version was adapted from this by Torsten Martinsen
+<bullestock@dk-online.dk>.

+==============================================================================
+*LaTeX* *latex*
+
+The LaTeX command typesets a file of text using the TeX program and the LaTeX
+Macro package for TeX. To be more specific, it processes an input file
+containing the text of a document with interspersed commands that describe how
+the text should be formatted.
+
+1. Commands |latex-commands|
+2. Counters |latex-counters|
+3. Cross References |latex-references|
+4. Definitions |latex-definitions|
+5. Document Classes |latex-classes|
+6. Layout |latex-layout|
+7. Environments |latex-environments|
+8. Footnotes |latex-footnotes|
+9. Lengths |latex-lengths|
+10. Letters |latex-letters|
+11. Line & Page Breaking |latex-breaking|

+24. Typefaces |latex-typefaces|
+25. Parameters |latex-parameters|
+
+==============================================================================
+1. Commands *latex-commands*
+
+A LaTeX command begins with the command name, which consists of a \ followed
+by either
+ (a) a string of letters or
+ (b) a single non-letter.
+
+Arguments contained in square brackets, [], are optional while arguments
+contained in braces, {}, are required.
+
+NOTE: LaTeX is case sensitive. Enter all commands in lower case unless
+explicitly directed to do otherwise.
+
+==============================================================================
+2. Counters *latex-counters*
+
+|\addtocounter| Add a quantity to a counter
+|\alph| Print value of a counter using letters
+|\arabic| Print value of a counter using numerals
+|\fnsymbol| Print value of a counter using symbols
+|\newcounter| Define a new counter
+|\refstepcounter| Add to counter, resetting subsidiary counters
+|\roman| Print value of a counter using roman numerals
+|\setcounter| Set the value of a counter
+|\stepcounter| Add to counter, resetting subsidiary counters
+|\usecounter| Use a specified counter in a list environment
+|\value| Use the value of a counter in an expression
+
+Everything LaTeX numbers for you has a counter associated with it. The name of
+the counter is the same as the name of the environment or command that
+produces the number, except with no |\\|. (|lc-enumi| - |lc-enumiv| are used
+for the nested |\enumerate| environment.) Below is a list of the counters
+used in LaTeX's standard document classes to control numbering.
+
+ |part| |paragraph| |figure| |enumi| |itemi|
+ |chapter| |subparagraph| |table| |enumii| |itemii|
+ |section| |page| |footnote| |enumiii| |itemiii|
+ |subsection| |equation| |mpfootnote| |enumiv| |itemiv|
+ |subsubsection|
+
+
+\addtocounter{counter}{value} *\addtocounter*
+ Increments the {counter} by the amount specified by the
+ {value} argument. The {value} argument can be negative.
+
+\alph{counter} *\alph* *\Alph*
+\Alph{counter}
+ This command causes the value of the counter to be printed in
+ alphabetic characters. |\alph| command uses lower case
+ alphabetic alphabetic characters, i.e., a, b, c... while the
+ |\Alph| command uses upper case alphabetic characters, i.e.,
+ A, B, C....
+
+\arabic{counter} *\arabic*
+ Causes the value of the {counter} to be printed in Arabic
+ numbers, i.e., 3.
+
+\fnsymbol{counter} *\fnsymbol*
+ Causes the value of the {counter} to be printed in a specific
+ sequence of nine symbols that can be used for numbering
+ footnotes.
+ Note: counter must have a value between 1 and 9 inclusive.
+
+\newcounter{foo}[counter] *\newcounter*
+ Defines a new counter named {foo}. The counter is initialized
+ to zero. The optional argument [counter] causes the counter
+ {foo} to be reset whenever the counter named in the optional
+ argument is incremented.
+
+\refstepcounter{counter} *\refstepcounter*
+ Command works like |\stepcounter|, except it also defines the
+ current |\ref| value to be the result of \thecounter.
+
+\roman{counter} *\roman* *\Roman*
+\Roman{counter}
+ Causes the value of the {counter} to be printed in Roman
+ numerals. The |\roman| command uses lower case Roman numerals,
+ i.e., i, ii, iii..., while the |\Roman| command uses upper case
+ Roman numerals, i.e., I, II, III....
+
+\stepcounter{counter} *\stepcounter*
+ Adds one to the {counter} and resets all subsidiary counters.
+
+\setcounter{counter}{value} *\setcounter*
+ Sets the value of the {counter} to that specified by the
+ {value} argument.
+
+\usecounter{counter} *\usecounter*
+ Command is used in the second argument of the |list|
+ environment to allow the {counter} specified to be used to
+ number the list items.
+
+\value{counter} *\value*
+ Produces the value of the {counter} named in the mandatory
+ argument. It can be used where LaTeX expects an integer or
+ number, such as the second argument of a |\setcounter| or
+ |\addtocounter| command, or in: >
+ \hspace{\value{foo}\parindent}
+< It is useful for doing arithmetic with counters.
+
+==============================================================================
+3. Cross References *latex-references*
+
+One reason for numbering things like figures and equations is to refer the
+reader to them, as in "See Figure 3 for more details."
+
+|\label| Assign a symbolic name to a piece of text
+|\pageref| Refer to a page number
+|\ref| Refer to a section, figure or similar
+
+
+\label{key} *\label*
+ Command appearing in ordinary text assigns to the {key} the
+ number of the current sectional unit; one appearing inside a
+ numbered environment assigns that number to the {key}.
+
+ A {key} can consist of any sequence of letters, digits, or
+ punctuation characters. Upper and lowercase letters are
+ different.
+
+ To avoid accidentally creating two labels with the same name,
+ it is common to use labels consisting of a prefix and a suffix
+ separated by a colon. The prefixes conventionally used are
+ * 'cha' for chapters
+ * 'sec' for lower-level sectioning commands
+ * 'fig' for figures
+ * 'tab' for tables
+ * 'eq' for equations
+ Thus, a label for a figure would look like: >
+ \label{fig:bandersnatch}
+
+\pageref{key} *\pageref*
+ Command produces the page number of the place in the text
+ where the corresponding |\label| command appears. ie. where
+ \label{key} appears.
+
+\ref{key} *\ref*
+ Command produces the number of the sectional unit, equation
+ number, ... of the corresponding |\label| command.
+
+==============================================================================
+4. Definitions *latex-definitions*
+
+|\newcommand| Define a new command
+|\newenvironment| Define a new environment
+|\newtheorem| Define a new theorem-like environment
+|\newfont| Define a new font name
+
+
+\newcommand{cmd}[args]{definition} *\newcommand* *\renewcommand*
+\newcommand{cmd}[args][default]{definition}
+\renewcommand{cmd}[args]{definition}
+\renewcommand{cmd}[args][default]{definition}
+
+These commands define (or redefine) a command.
+
+{cmd} A command name beginning with a |\\|. For |\newcommand| it must
+ not be already defined and must not begin with |\end|; for
+ |\renewcommand| it must already be defined.
+
+{args} An integer from 1 to 9 denoting the number of arguments of the
+ command being defined. The default is for the command to have
+ no arguments.
+
+{default} If this optional parameter is present, it means that the
+ command's first argument is optional. The default value of the
+ optional argument is default.
+
+{definition} The text to be substituted for every occurrence of {cmd}; a
+ parameter of the form #n in {cmd} is replaced by the text of
+ the nth argument when this substitution takes place.
+
+ *\newenvironment* *\renewenvironment*
+\newenvironment{nam}[args]{begdef}{enddef}
+\newenvironment{nam}[args][default]{begdef}{enddef}
+\renewenvironment{nam}[args]{begdef}{enddef}
+
+These commands define or redefine an environment.
+
+{nam} The name of the environment. For |\newenvironment| there must
+ be no currently defined environment by that name, and the
+ command \nam must be undefined. For |\renewenvironment| the
+ environment must already be defined.
+
+{args} An integer from 1 to 9 denoting the number of arguments of
+ the newly-defined environment. The default is no arguments.
+
+{default} If this is specified, the first argument is optional, and
+ default gives the default value for that argument.
+
+{begdef} The text substituted for every occurrence of \begin{nam}; a
+ parameter of the form #n in {cmd} is replaced by the text of
+ the nth argument when this substitution takes place.
+
+{enddef} The text substituted for every occurrence of \end{nam}. It
+ may not contain any argument parameters.
+
+
+\newtheorem{envname}{caption}[within] *\newtheorem*
+\newtheorem{envname}[numberedlike]{caption}
+
+This command defines a theorem-like environment.
+
+{envname} The name of the environment to be defined. A string of
+ letters. It must not be the name of an existing environment or
+ counter.
+
+{caption} The text printed at the beginning of the environment, right
+ before the number. This may simply say "Theorem", for example.
+
+{within} The name of an already defined counter, usually of a sectional
+ unit. Provides a means of resetting the new theorem counter
+ within the sectional unit.
+
+{numberedlike} The name of an already defined theorem-like environment.
+
+The |\newtheorem| command may have at most one optional argument.
+
+
+\newfont{cmd}{fontname} *\newfont*
+ Defines the command name {cmd}, which must not be currently
+ defined, to be a declaration that selects the font named
+ {fontname} to be the current font.
+
+==============================================================================
+5. Document Classes *latex-classes*
+
+
+\documentclass[options]{class} *\documentclass*
+
+Valid LaTeX document classes include:
+ *article *article-class*

+
+\usepackage[options]{pkg} *\usepackage*
+ Additional packages are loaded by this. If you
+ specify more than one package, they must be separated by a
+ comma.
+
+Any options given in the |\documentclass| command that are unknown by the
+selected document class are passed on to the packages loaded with |\usepackage|.
+
+==============================================================================
+6. Layout *latex-layout*
+
+Miscellaneous commands for controlling the general layout of the page.
+
+|\flushbottom| Make all text pages the same height.
+|\onecolumn| Use one-column layout.
+|\raggedbottom| Allow text pages of differing height.
+|\twocolumn| Use two-column layout.
+
+\flushbottom *\flushbottom*
+ Makes all text pages the same height, adding extra vertical
+ space when necessary to fill out the page. This is the
+ standard if twocolumn mode is selected.
+
+\onecolumn *\onecolumn*
+ Starts a new page and produces single-column output.
+
+\raggedbottom *\raggedbottom*
+ Makes all pages the height of the text on that page. No extra
+ vertical space is added.
+
+\twocolumn[text] *\twocolumn*
+ Starts a new page and produces two-column output. If the
+ optional [text] argument is present, it is typeset in
+ one-column mode.
+
+==============================================================================
+7. Environments *latex-environments*
+
+ *\begin* *\end*
+LaTeX provides a number of different paragraph-making environments. Each
+environment begins and ends in the same manner: >
+
+ \begin{environment-name}
+ .
+ .
+ .
+ \end{environment-name}
+<
+a. |array| Math arrays
+b. |center| Centred lines
+c. |description| Labelled lists
+d. |enumerate| Numbered lists
+e. |eqnarray| Sequences of aligned equations
+f. |equation| Displayed equation
+g. |figure| Floating figures
+h. |flushleft| Flushed left lines
+i. |flushright| Flushed right lines
+j. |itemize| Bulleted lists
+k. |letter| Letters
+l. |list| Generic list environment
+m. |minipage| Miniature page
+n. |picture| Picture with text, arrows, lines and circles
+o. |quotation| Indented environment with paragraph indentation
+p. |quote-l| Indented environment with no paragraph indentation
+q. |tabbing| Align text arbitrarily
+r. |table| Floating tables
+s. |tabular| Align text in columns
+t. |thebibliography| Bibliography or reference list
+u. |theorem| Theorems, lemmas, etc
+v. |titlepage| For hand crafted title pages
+x. |verbatim| Simulating typed input
+y. |verse| For poetry and other things
+
+==============================================================================
+ a. array *array*
+>
+ \begin{array}{col1col2...coln}
+ column 1 entry & column 2 entry ... & column n entry \\
+ .
+ .
+ .
+ \end{array}
+
+Math arrays are produced with the |array| environment. It has a single mandatory
+argument describing the number of columns and the alignment within them. Each
+column, coln, is specified by a single letter that tells how items in that row
+should be formatted.
+ * c -- for centred
+ * l -- for flush left
+ * r -- for flush right
+Column entries must be separated by an |&|. Column entries may include other
+LaTeX commands. Each row of the array must be terminated with the string |\\|.
+
+Note that the |array| environment can only be used in |math-mode|, so normally
+it is used inside an |equation| environment.
+
+==============================================================================
+b. center *center*
+>
+ \begin{center}
+ Text on line 1 \\
+ Text on line 2 \\
+ .
+ .
+ .
+ \end{center}
+
+The |\center| environment allows you to create a paragraph consisting of lines
+that are centred within the left and right margins on the current page. Each
+line must be terminated with the string |\\|.
+
+\centering *\centering*
+ This declaration corresponds to the |center| environment. This
+ declaration can be used inside an environment such as
+ |quote-l| or in a |\parbox|. The text of a |figure| or |table|
+ can be centred on the page by putting a |\centering| command
+ at the beginning of the |figure| or |table| environment.
+ Unlike the |center| environment, the |\centering| command does
+ not start a new paragraph; it simply changes how LaTeX formats
+ paragraph units. To affect a paragraph unit's format, the
+ scope of the declaration must contain the blank line or |\end|
+ command (of an environment like |quote-l|) that ends the
+ paragraph unit.
+
+==============================================================================
+c. description *description*
+>
+ \begin{description}
+ \item [label] First item
+ \item [label] Second item
+ .
+ .
+ .
+ \end{description}
+
+The |description| environment is used to make labelled lists. The label is
+bold face and flushed right.
+
+==============================================================================
+d. enumerate *enumerate*
+>
+ \begin{enumerate}
+ \item First item
+ \item Second item
+ .
+ .
+ .
+ \end{enumerate}
+
+The |enumerate| environment produces a numbered list. Enumerations can be
+nested within one another, up to four levels deep. They can also be nested
+within other paragraph-making environments.
+
+\item Each item of an enumerated list begins with an |\item|
+ command. There must be at least one |\item| command
+ within the environment.
+
+The |enumerate| environment uses the |\enumi| through |\enumiv| counters (see
+section |latex-counters|). The type of numbering can be changed by redefining
+\theenumi etc.
+
+==============================================================================
+e. eqnarray *eqnarray*
+>
+ \begin{eqnarray}
+ math formula 1 \\
+ math formula 2 \\
+ .
+ .
+ .
+ \end{eqnarray}
+
+The |eqnarray| environment is used to display a sequence of equations or
+inequalities. It is very much like a three-column |array| environment, with
+consecutive rows separated by |\\| and consecutive items within a row separated
+by an |&|.
+
+\nonumber *\nonumber*
+ An equation number is placed on every line unless that
+ line has a |\nonumber| command.
+
+\lefteqn *\lefteqn*
+ The command |\lefteqn| is used for splitting long
+ formulas across lines. It typesets its argument in
+ display style flush left in a box of zero width.
+
+==============================================================================
+f. equation *equation*
+>
+ \begin{equation}
+ math formula
+ \end{equation}
+
+The |equation| environment centres your equation on the page and places the
+equation number in the right margin.
+
+==============================================================================
+g. figure *figure*
+>
+ \begin{figure}[placement]
+ body of the figure
+ \caption{figure title}
+ \end{figure}
+
+Figures are objects that are not part of the normal text, and are usually
+"floated" to a convenient place, like the top of a page. Figures will not be
+split between two pages.
+
+The optional argument [placement] determines where LaTeX will try to place
+your figure. There are four places where LaTeX can possibly put a float:
+
+h (Here) at the position in the text where the figure
+ environment appears.
+t (Top) at the top of a text page.
+b (Bottom) at the bottom of a text page.
+p (Page of floats) on a separate float page, which is a page containing
+ no text, only floats.
+
+The standard |report-class| and |article-class| use the default placement
+[tbp].
+
+The body of the |figure| is made up of whatever text, LaTeX commands, etc. you
+wish.
+
+The \caption command allows you to title your figure.
+
+==============================================================================
+h. flushleft *flushleft*
+>
+ \begin{flushleft}
+ Text on line 1 \\
+ Text on line 2 \\
+ .
+ .
+ .
+ \end{flushleft}
+
+The |flushleft| environment allows you to create a paragraph consisting of
+lines that are flushed left, to the left-hand margin. Each line must be
+terminated with the string |\\|.
+
+\raggedright *\raggedright*
+ This declaration corresponds to the |flushleft| environment.
+ This declaration can be used inside an environment such as
+ |quote-l| or in a |\parbox|. Unlike the |flushleft|
+ environment, the |\raggedright| command does not start a new
+ paragraph; it simply changes how LaTeX formats paragraph
+ units. To affect a paragraph unit's format, the scope of the
+ declaration must contain the blank line or |\end| command (of
+ an environment like |quote-l|) that ends the paragraph unit.
+
+==============================================================================
+i. flushright *flushright*
+>
+ \begin{flushright}
+ Text on line 1 \\
+ Text on line 2 \\
+ .
+ .
+ .
+ \end{flushright}
+
+The |flushright| environment allows you to create a paragraph consisting of
+lines that are flushed right, to the right-hand margin. Each line must be
+terminated with the string |\\|.
+
+\raggedleft *\raggedleft*
+ This declaration corresponds to the |flushright| environment.
+ This declaration can be used inside an environment such as
+ |quote-l| or in a |\parbox|. Unlike the |flushright|
+ environment, the |\raggedleft| command does not start a new
+ paragraph; it simply changes how LaTeX formats paragraph
+ units. To affect a paragraph unit's format, the scope of the
+ declaration must contain the blank line or |\end| command (of
+ an environment like |quote-l|) that ends the paragraph unit.
+
+==============================================================================
+j. itemize *itemize*
+>
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item First item
+ \item Second item
+ .
+ .
+ .
+ \end{itemize}
+
+The |itemize| environment produces a "bulleted" list. Itemizations can be
+nested within one another, up to four levels deep. They can also be nested
+within other paragraph-making environments.
+
+\item *\item*
+ Each item of an itemized list begins with an |\item| command.
+ There must be at least one |\item| command within the
+ environment.
+
+The itemize environment uses the |\itemi| through |\itemiv| counters (see
+section |latex-counters|). The type of numbering can be changed by redefining
+\theitemi etc.
+
+==============================================================================
+k. letter *\letter*
+
+This environment is used for creating letters. See section |latex-letters|.
+
+==============================================================================
+l. list *list*
+
+The |list| environment is a generic environment which is used for defining many
+of the more specific environments. It is seldom used in documents, but often
+in macros.
+>
+ \begin{list}{label}{spacing}
+ \item First item
+ \item Second item
+ .
+ .
+ .
+ \end{list}
+
+'label' The {label} argument specifies how items should be labelled.
+ This argument is a piece of text that is inserted in a box to
+ form the {label}. This argument can and usually does contain
+ other LaTeX commands.
+
+'spacing' The {spacing} argument contains commands to change the spacing
+ parameters for the |list|. This argument will most often be
+ null, i.e., {}. This will select all default spacing which
+ should suffice for most cases.
+
+==============================================================================
+m. minipage *minipage*
+>
+ \begin{minipage}[position]{width}
+ text
+ \end{minipage}
+
+The |minipage| environment is similar to a |\parbox| command. It takes the
+same optional [position] argument and mandatory {width} argument. You may use
+other paragraph-making environments inside a |minipage|. Footnotes in a
+minipage environment are handled in a way that is particularly useful for
+putting footnotes in figures or tables. A |\footnote| or |\footnotetext|
+command puts the footnote at the bottom of the minipage instead of at the
+bottom of the page, and it uses the |\mpfootnote| counter instead of the
+ordinary footnote counter. See sections |latex-counters| and
+|latex-footnotes|.
+
+NOTE: Don't put one |minipage| inside another if you are using footnotes; they
+may wind up at the bottom of the wrong minipage.
+
+==============================================================================
+n. picture *picture*
+>
+ size position
+ \begin{picture}(width,height)(x offset,y offset)
+ .
+ .
+ picture commands
+ .
+ .
+ \end{picture}
+
+The |picture| environment allows you to create just about any kind of picture
+you want containing text, lines, arrows and circles. You tell LaTeX where to
+put things in the picture by specifying their coordinates. A coordinate is a
+number that may have a decimal point and a minus sign -- a number like 5, 2.3
+or -3.1416. A coordinate specifies a length in multiples of the unit length
+|\unitlength|, so if |\unitlength| has been set to 1cm, then the coordinate
+2.54 specifies a length of 2.54 centimetres. You can change the value of
+|\unitlength| anywhere you want, using the |\setlength| command, but strange
+things will happen if you try changing it inside the |picture| environment.
+
+A position is a pair of coordinates, such as (2.4,-5), specifying the point
+with x-coordinate 2.4 and y-coordinate -5. Coordinates are specified in the
+usual way with respect to an origin, which is normally at the lower-left
+corner of the |picture|.
+Note that when a position appears as an argument, it is not enclosed in
+braces; the parentheses serve to delimit the argument.
+
+The |picture| environment has one mandatory argument, which is a position. It
+specifies the size of the picture. The environment produces a rectangular box
+with width and height determined by this argument's x- and y-coordinates.
+
+The |picture| environment also has an optional position argument, following
+the size argument, that can change the origin. (Unlike ordinary optional
+arguments, this argument is not contained in square brackets.) The optional
+argument gives the coordinates of the point at the lower-left corner of the
+picture (thereby determining the origin). For example, if |\unitlength| has
+been set to 1mm, the command: >
+ \begin{picture}(100,200)(10,20)
+>
+produces a picture of width 100 millimetres and height 200 millimetres, whose
+lower-left corner is the point (10,20) and whose upper-right corner is
+therefore the point (110,220). When you first draw a picture, you will omit
+the optional argument, leaving the origin at the lower-left corner. If you
+then want to modify your picture by shifting everything, you just add the
+appropriate optional argument.
+
+The environment's mandatory argument determines the nominal size of the
+picture. This need bear no relation to how large the picture really is; LaTeX
+will happily allow you to put things outside the picture, or even off the
+page. The picture's nominal size is used by LaTeX in determining how much room
+to leave for it.
+
+Everything that appears in a picture is drawn by the |\put| command. The
+command: >
+ \put (11.3,-.3){...}
+
+puts the object specified by ... in the picture, with its
+reference point at coordinates (11.3,-.3). The reference points for various
+objects will be described below.
+
+The |\put| creates an LR box (|lrbox|). You can put anything in the text
+argument of the |\put| that you'd put into the argument of an |\mbox| and
+related commands. When you do this, the reference point will be the lower left
+corner of the box.
+
+Picture commands:
+|\circle| Draw a circle
+|\dashbox| Draw a dashed box
+|\frame| Draw a frame around an object
+|\framebox(picture)| Draw a box with a frame around it
+|\line| Draw a straight line
+|\linethickness| Set the line thickness
+|\makebox(picture)| Draw a box of the specified size
+|\multiput| Draw multiple instances of an object
+|\oval| Draw an ellipse
+|\put| Place an object at a specified place
+|\shortstack| Make a pile of objects
+|\vector| Draw a line with an arrow
+
+\circle[*]{diameter} *\circle*
+ Command produces a circle with a {diameter} as close to the
+ specified one as possible. If the *-form of the command is
+ used, LaTeX draws a solid circle.
+ Note: only circles up to 40 pt can be drawn.
+
+
+\dashbox{dashlength}(width,height){...} *\dashbox*
+ Draws a box with a dashed line. The |\dashbox| has an extra
+ argument which specifies the width of each dash. A dashed box
+ looks best when the width and height are multiples of the
+ {dashlength}.
+
+\frame{...} *\frame*
+ Puts a rectangular frame around the object specified in the
+ argument. The reference point is the bottom left corner of the
+ frame. No extra space is put between the frame and the object.
+
+\framebox(width,height)[position]{...} *\picture-framebox*
+ The |\framebox| command is exactly the same as the
+ |picture-makebox| command, except that it puts a frame around
+ the outside of the box that it creates. The |\framebox|
+ command produces a rule of thickness |\fboxrule|, and leaves a
+ space |\fboxsep| between the rule and the contents of the box.
+
+\line(x slope,y slope){length} *\line*
+ Draws a line of the specified length and slope.
+ Note: LaTeX can only draw lines with slope = x/y, where x and
+ y have integer values from -6 through 6.
+
+\linethickness{dimension} *\linethickness*
+ Declares the thickness of horizontal and vertical lines in a
+ |picture| environment to be dimension, which must be a
+ positive length. It does not affect the thickness of slanted
+ lines (|\line|) and circles (|circle|), or the quarter circles
+ drawn by |\oval| to form the corners of an oval.
+
+\makebox(width,height)[position]{...} *picture-makebox*
+ The makebox command for the |picture| environment is similar
+ to the normal |\makebox| command except that you must specify
+ a width and height in multiples of |\unitlength|.
+ The optional argument, [position], specifies the quadrant that
+ your text appears in. You may select up to two of the
+ following:
+ t - Moves the item to the top of the rectangle
+ b - Moves the item to the bottom
+ l - Moves the item to the left
+ r - Moves the item to the right
+
+ *\multiput*
+\multiput(x coord,y coord)(delta x,delta y){no of copies}{object}
+ This command can be used when you are putting the same
+ object in a regular pattern across a picture.
+
+\oval(width,height)[portion] *\oval*
+ Produces a rectangle with rounded corners. The optional
+ argument, [portion], allows you to select part of the oval.
+ t - top portion
+ b - bottom portion
+ r - right portion
+ l - left portion
+ Note: the "corners" of the oval are made with quarter circles
+ with a maximum radius of 20 pt, so large "ovals" will look
+ more like boxes with rounded corners.
+
+\put(x coord,y coord){ ... } *\put*
+ Places the item specified by the mandatory argument at the
+ given coordinates.
+
+\shortstack[position]{... \\ ... \\ ...} *\shortstack*
+ The |\shortstack| command produces a stack of objects.
+ The valid positions are:
+ r - right of the stack
+ l - left of the stack
+ c - centre of the stack (default)
+
+\vector(x slope,y slope){length} *\vector*
+ Draws a line with an arrow of the specified length and slope.
+ The x and y values must lie between -4 and +4, inclusive.
+
+==============================================================================
+o. quotation *quotation*
+ >
+ \begin{quotation}
+ text
+ \end{quotation}
+
+The margins of the |quotation| environment are indented on the left and the
+right. The text is justified at both margins and there is paragraph
+indentation. Leaving a blank line between text produces a new paragraph.
+
+==============================================================================
+p. quote *quote-l*
+>
+ \begin{quote}
+ text
+ \end{quote}
+
+The margins of the |quote-l| environment are indented on the left and the right.
+The text is justified at both margins. Leaving a blank line between text
+produces a new paragraph.
+
+==============================================================================
+q. tabbing *tabbing*
+>
+ \begin{tabbing}
+ text \= more text \= still more text \= last text \\
+ second row \> \> more \\
+ .
+ .
+ .
+ \end{tabbing}
+
+The |tabbing| environment provides a way to align text in columns. It works by
+setting tab stops and tabbing to them much the way you do with an ordinary
+typewriter.
+
+It is best suited for cases where the width of each column is constant and
+known in advance.
+
+This environment can be broken across pages, unlike the |tabular| environment.
+The following commands can be used inside a tabbing environment:
+
+ *tab=*
+\= Sets a tab stop at the current position.
+
+ *tab>*
+\> Advances to the next tab stop.
+
+ *tab<*
+\< This command allows you to put something to the left of the
+ local margin without changing the margin. Can only be used at
+ the start of the line.
+
+ *tab+*
+\+ Moves the left margin of the next and all the following
+ commands one tab stop to the right.
+
+ *tab-*
+\- Moves the left margin of the next and all the following
+ commands one tab stop to the left.
+
+ *tab'*
+\' Moves everything that you have typed so far in the current
+ column, i.e. everything from the most recent \> (|tab>|), \<
+ (|tab<|), \' (|tab'|), |\\|, or |\kill| command, to the right
+ of the previous column, flush against the current column's tab
+ stop.
+
+ *tab`*
+\` Allows you to put text flush right against any tab stop,
+ including tab stop 0. However, it can't move text to the right
+ of the last column because there's no tab stop there. The \`
+ (|tab`|) command moves all the text that follows it, up to the
+ |\\| or \end{tabbing} command that ends the line, to the right
+ margin of the tabbing environment. There must be no \>
+ (|tab>|) or \' (|tab'|) command between the \` (|tab`|) and
+ the command that ends the line.
+
+ *\kill*
+\kill Sets tab stops without producing text. Works just like |\\|
+ except that it throws away the current line instead of
+ producing output for it. The effect of any \= (|tab=|), \+
+ (|tab+|) or \- (|tab-|) commands in that line remain in
+ effect.
+
+ *\pushtabs*
+\pushtabs Saves all current tab stop positions. Useful for temporarily
+ changing tab stop positions in the middle of a tabbing
+ environment. Also restores the tab stop positions saved by the
+ last |\pushtabs|.
+
+ *taba*
+\a In a tabbing environment, the commands \= (|tab=|), \'
+ (|tab'|) and \` (|tab`|) do not produce accents as normal.
+ Instead, the commands \a=, \a' and \a` are used.
+
+This example typesets a Pascal function in a traditional format:
+>
+ \begin{tabbing}
+ function \= fact(n : integer) : integer;\\
+ \> begin \= \+ \\
+ \> if \= n $>$ 1 then \+ \\
+ fact := n * fact(n-1) \- \\
+ else \+ \\
+ fact := 1; \-\- \\
+ end;\\
+ \end{tabbing}
+
+==============================================================================
+r. table *\table*
+>
+ \begin{table}[placement]
+ body of the table
+ \caption{table title}
+ \end{table}
+
+Tables are objects that are not part of the normal text, and are usually
+"floated" to a convenient place, like the top of a page. Tables will not be
+split between two pages.
+
+The optional argument [placement] determines where LaTeX will try to place
+your table. There are four places where LaTeX can possibly put a float:
+
+ h (Here) at the position in the text where the table
+ environment appears.
+ t (Top) at the top of a text page.
+ b (Bottom) at the bottom of a text page.
+ p (Page of floats) on a separate float page, which is a page
+ containing no text, only floats.
+
+The standard |report-class| and |article-class| use the default placement [tbp].
+
+The body of the table is made up of whatever text, LaTeX commands, etc., you
+wish.
+
+The \caption command allows you to title your table.
+
+==============================================================================
+s. tabular *tabular*
+>
+ \begin{tabular}[pos]{cols}
+ column 1 entry & column 2 entry ... & column n entry \\
+ .
+ .
+ .
+ \end{tabular}
+
+or
+>
+ \begin{tabular*}{width}[pos]{cols}
+ column 1 entry & column 2 entry ... & column n entry \\
+ .
+ .
+ .
+ \end{tabular*}
+
+These environments produce a box consisting of a sequence of rows of items,
+aligned vertically in columns. The mandatory and optional arguments consist
+of:
+
+{width} Specifies the width of the tabular* environment. There must be
+ rubber space between columns that can stretch to fill out the
+ specified width.
+
+[pos] Specifies the vertical position; default is alignment on the
+ centre of the environment.
+ t - align on top row
+ b - align on bottom row
+
+{cols} Specifies the column formatting. It consists of a sequence of
+ the following specifiers, corresponding to the sequence of
+ columns and intercolumn material.
+ l - A column of left-aligned items.
+
+ r - A column of right-aligned items.
+
+ c - A column of centred items.
+
+ | - A vertical line the full height and depth of the
+ environment.
+
+ @{text} - This inserts text in every row. An @-expression
+ suppresses the intercolumn space normally inserted
+ between columns; any desired space between the
+ inserted text and the adjacent items must be included
+ in text. An \extracolsep{wd} command in an
+ @-expression causes an extra space of width {wd} to
+ appear to the left of all subsequent columns, until
+ countermanded by another |\extracolsep| command. Unlike
+ ordinary intercolumn space, this extra space is not
+ suppressed by an @-expression. An |\extracolsep|
+ command can be used only in an @-expression in the
+ cols argument.
+
+ p{wd} - Produces a column with each item typeset in a |\parbox|
+ of width {wd}, as if it were the argument of a
+ \parbox[t]{wd} command. However, a |\\| may not appear
+ in the item, except in the following situations:
+ 1. inside an environment like |minipage|, |array|, or
+ |tabular|.
+ 2. inside an explicit |\parbox|.
+ 3. in the scope of a |\centering|, |\raggedright|, or
+ |\raggedleft| declaration. The latter declarations must
+ appear inside braces or an environment when used in a
+ p-column element.
+
+ {num}{cols} - Equivalent to num copies of cols, where num is any positive
+ integer and cols is any list of column-specifiers,
+ which may contain another -expression.
+
+These commands can be used inside a tabular environment:
+
+|\cline| Draw a horizontal line spanning some columns.
+|\hline| Draw a * horizontal line spanning all columns.
+|\multicolumn| Make an item spanning * several columns.
+|\vline| Draw a vertical line.
+
+
+\cline{i-j} *\cline*
+ The |\cline| command draws horizontal lines across the columns
+ specified, beginning in column i and ending in column j,
+ which are identified in the mandatory argument.
+
+\hline *\hline*
+ The |\hline| command will draw a horizontal line the width of
+ the table. It's most commonly used to draw a line at the top,
+ bottom, and between the rows of the table.
+
+\multicolumn{cols}{pos}{text} *\multicolumn*
+ The |\multicolumn| is used to make an entry that spans several
+ columns. The first mandatory argument, {cols}, specifies the
+ number of columns to span. The second mandatory argument,
+ {pos}, specifies the formatting of the entry:
+ c - centered
+ l - flushleft
+ r - flushright.
+ The third mandatory argument, {text}, specifies what text is
+ to make up the entry.
+
+\vline *\vline*
+ The |\vline| command will draw a vertical line extending the
+ full height and depth of its row. An |\hfill| command can be
+ used to move the line to the edge of the column. It can also
+ be used in an @-expression.
+
+==============================================================================
+t. thebibliography *\thebibliography*
+>
+ \begin{thebibliography}{widestlabel}
+ \bibitem[label]{cite_key}
+ .
+ .
+ .
+ \end{thebibliography}
+
+The |\thebibliography| environment produces a bibliography or reference list.
+
+In the |article-class|, this reference list is labelled "References"; in the
+|report-class|, it is labelled "Bibliography".
+
+{widestlabel} Text that, when printed, is approximately as wide as the
+ widest item label produces by the |\bibitem| commands.
+
+|\bibitem| Specify a bibliography item.
+|\cite| Refer to a bibliography item.
+|\nocite| Include an item in the bibliography.
+|BibTeX| Automatic generation of bibliographies.
+
+\bibitem *\bibitem*
+\bibitem[label]{citekey}
+ The |\bibitem| command generates an entry labelled by [label].
+ If the [label] argument is missing, a number is generated as
+ the label, using the |\enumi| counter. The {citekey} is any
+ sequence of letters, numbers, and punctuation symbols not
+ containing a comma. This command writes an entry on the `.aux'
+ file containing {citekey} and the item's label. When this
+ `.aux' file is read by the \begin{document} command, the
+ item's label is associated with {citekey}, causing the
+ reference to {citekey} by a |\cite| command to produce the
+ associated label.
+
+\cite *\cite*
+\cite[text]{keylist}
+ The {keylist} argument is a list of citation keys. This
+ command generates an in-text citation to the references
+ associated with the keys in {keylist} by entries on the `.aux'
+ file read by the \begin{document} command.
+ The optional text argument will appear after the
+ citation, i.e.: >
+ \cite[p.2]{knuth}
+< might produce `[Knuth, p. 2]'.
+
+\nocite *\nocite*
+\nocite{keylist}
+ The |\nocite| command produces no text, but writes
+ {keylist}, which is a list of one or more citation
+ keys, on the `.aux' file.
+
+BibTeX *BibTeX* *bibtex*
+ *\bibliographystyle*
+If you use the BibTeX program by Oren Patashnik (highly recommended if you
+need a bibliography of more than a couple of titles) to maintain your
+bibliography, you don't use the |thebibliography| environment. Instead, you
+include the lines:
+>
+ \bibliographystyle{style}
+ \bibliography{bibfile}
+
+where {style} refers to a file style.bst, which defines how your citations
+will look. The standard styles distributed with BibTeX are:
+
+{alpha} Sorted alphabetically. Labels are formed from name of author and year
+ of publication.
+{plain} Sorted alphabetically. Labels are numeric.
+{unsrt} Like plain, but entries are in order of citation.
+{abbrv} Like plain, but more compact labels.
+
+In addition, numerous other BibTeX style files exist tailored to the demands
+of various publications.
+
+ *\bibliography*
+The argument to |\bibliography| refers to the file bibfile.bib, which should
+contain your database in BibTeX format. Only the entries referred to via
+|\cite| and |\nocite| will be listed in the bibliography.
+
+==============================================================================
+u. theorem *theorem*
+>
+ \begin{theorem}
+ theorem text
+ \end{theorem}
+
+The |theorem| environment produces "Theorem x" in boldface followed by your
+theorem text.
+
+==============================================================================
+v. titlepage *titlepage*
+>
+ \begin{titlepage}
+ text
+ \end{titlepage}
+
+The |titlepage| environment creates a title page, i.e. a page with no printed
+page number or heading. It also causes the following page to be numbered page
+one. Formatting the title page is left to you. The |\today| command comes in
+handy for title pages.
+
+Note that you can use the |\maketitle| to produce a standard title page.
+
+==============================================================================
+x. verbatim *verbatim*
+>
+ \begin{verbatim}
+ text
+ \end{verbatim}
+
+The |verbatim| environment is a paragraph-making environment that gets LaTeX
+to print exactly what you type in. It turns LaTeX into a typewriter with
+carriage returns and blanks having the same effect that they would on a
+typewriter.
+
+\verb *\verb*
+\verb char literal_text char
+\verb*char literal_text char
+ Typesets literal_text exactly as typed, including
+ special characters and spaces, using a typewriter |\tt|
+ type style. There may be no space between |\verb| or
+ |\verb|* and char (space is shown here only for
+ clarity). The *-form differs only in that spaces are
+ printed as `\verb*| |\'.
+
+==============================================================================
+y. verse *verse*
+>
+ \begin{verse}
+ text
+ \end{verse}
+
+The |verse| environment is designed for poetry, though you may find other uses
+for it.
+
+The margins are indented on the left and the right. Separate the lines of each
+stanza with |\\|, and use one or more blank lines to separate the stanzas.
+
+==============================================================================
+8. Footnotes *latex-footnotes*
+
+Footnotes can be produced in one of two ways. They can be produced with one
+command, the |\footnote| command. They can also be produced with two commands,
+the |\footnotemark| and the |\footnotetext| commands. See the specific command for
+information on why you would use one over the other.
+
+|\footnote| Insert a footnote
+|\footnotemark| Insert footnote mark only
+|\footnotetext| Insert footnote text only
+
+\footnote[number]{text} *\footnote*
+ Command places the numbered footnote text at the bottom of the
+ current page. The optional argument, number, is used to change
+ the default footnote number. This command can only be used in
+ outer paragraph mode; i.e., you cannot use it in sectioning
+ commands like |\chapter|, in |\figure|, |\table| or in a
+ |\tabular| environment.
+
+\footnotemark *\footnotemark*
+ Command puts the footnote number in the text. This command can
+ be used in inner paragraph mode. The text of the footnote is
+ supplied by the |\footnotetext| command.
+ This command can be used to produce several consecutive
+ footnote markers referring to the same footnote by using
+>
+ \footnotemark[\value{footnote}]
+<
+ after the first |\footnote| command.
+
+\footnotetext[number]{text} *\footnotetext*
+ Command produces the text to be placed at the bottom of the
+ page. This command can come anywhere after the |\footnotemark|
+ command. The |\footnotetext| command must appear in outer
+ paragraph mode. The optional argument, number, is used to
+ change the default footnote number.
+
+==============================================================================
+9. Lengths *latex-lengths*
+
+A length is a measure of distance. Many LaTeX commands take a length as an
+argument.
+
+|\newlength| Define a new length.
+|\setlength| Set the value of a length.
+|\addtolength| Add a quantity to a length.
+|\settodepth| Set a length to the depth of something.
+|\settoheight| Set a length to the height of something.
+|\settowidth| Set a length to the width of something.
+|pre-lengths| Lengths that are, like, predefined.
+
+\newlength{\gnat} *\newlength*
+ The |\newlength| command defines the mandatory argument, \gnat,
+ as a length command with a value of 0in. An error occurs if a
+ \gnat command already exists.
+
+\setlength{\gnat}{length} *\setlength*
+ The |\setlength| command is used to set the value of a \gnat
+ command. The {length} argument can be expressed in any terms
+ of length LaTeX understands, i.e., inches (in), millimetres
+ (mm), points (pt), etc.
+
+\addtolength{\gnat}{length} *\addtolength*
+ The |\addtolength| command increments a \gnat by the amount
+ specified in the {length} argument. It can be a negative
+ amount.
+
+\settodepth{\gnat}{text} *\settodepth*
+ The |\settodepth| command sets the value of a \gnat command
+ equal to the depth of the {text} argument.
+
+\settoheight{\gnat}{text} *\settoheight*
+ The |\settoheight| command sets the value of a \gnat command
+ equal to the height of the {text} argument.
+
+\settowidth{\gnat}{text} *\settowidth*
+ The |\settowidth| command sets the value of a \gnat command
+ equal to the width of the {text} argument.
+
+Predefined lengths *pre-lengths*
+
+\width *\width*
+\height *\height*
+\depth *\depth*
+\totalheight *\totalheight*
+ These length parameters can be used in the arguments of the
+ box-making commands See section Spaces & Boxes. They specify
+ the natural width etc. of the text in the box.
+ \totalheight equals \height + \depth.
+ To make a box with the text stretched to double the natural
+ size, e.g., say: >
+ \makebox[2\width]{Get a stretcher}
+
+==============================================================================
+10. Letters *latex-letters*
+
+You can use LaTeX to typeset letters, both personal and business. The letter
+document class is designed to make a number of letters at once, although you
+can make just one if you so desire.
+
+Your `.tex' source file has the same minimum commands as the other document
+classes, i.e., you must have the following commands as a minimum: >
+ \documentclass{letter}
+ \begin{document}
+ ...
+ letters
+ ...
+ \end{document}
+
+Each letter is a letter environment, whose argument is the name and address of
+the recipient. For example, you might have: >
+ \begin{letter}
+ {Mr. Joe Smith\\
+ 2345 Princess St. \\
+ Edinburgh, EH1 1AA}
+ ...
+ \end{letter}
+
+The letter itself begins with the |\opening| command. The text of the letter
+follows. It is typed as ordinary LaTeX input. Commands that make no sense in
+a letter, like |\chapter|, do not work. The letter closes with a |\closing|
+command.
+
+After the closing, you can have additional material. The |\cc| command produces
+the usual "cc: ...". There's also a similar |\encl| command for a list of
+enclosures. With both these commands, use|\\| to separate the items.
+
+These commands are used with the letter class:
+|\address| Your return address.
+|\cc| Cc list. closing Saying goodbye.
+|\encl| List of enclosed material.
+|\location| Your organisation's address.
+|\makelabels| Making address labels.
+|\name| Your name, for the return address.
+|\opening| Saying hello.
+|\ps| Adding a postscript.
+|\signature| Your signature.
+|\startbreaks| Allow page breaks.
+|\stopbreaks| Disallow page breaks.
+|\telephone| Your phone number.
+
+\address{Return address} *\address*
+ The return address, as it should appear on the letter and the
+ envelope. Separate lines of the address should be separated
+ by |\\| commands. If you do not make an |\address| declaration,
+ then the letter will be formatted for copying onto your
+ organisation's standard letterhead. (See section Overview of
+ LaTeX and Local Guide, for details on your local
+ implementation). If you give an |\address| declaration, then
+ the letter will be formatted as a personal letter.
+
+\cc{Kate Schechter\\Rob McKenna} *\cc*
+ Generate a list of other persons the letter was sent to. Each
+ name is printed on a separate line.
+
+\closing{text} *\closing*
+ The letter closes with a |\closing| command, i.e., >
+ \closing{Best Regards,} \encl{CV\\Certificates}
+< Generate a list of enclosed material.
+
+\location{address} *\location*
+ This modifies your organisation's standard address. This only
+ appears if the firstpage pagestyle is selected.
+
+\makelabels{number} *\makelabels*
+ If you issue this command in the preamble, LaTeX will create a
+ sheet of address labels. This sheet will be output before the
+ letters.
+
+\name{June Davenport} *\name*
+ Your name, used for printing on the envelope together with the
+ return address.
+
+\opening{text} *\opening*
+ The letter begins with the |\opening| command. The mandatory
+ argument, text, is whatever text you wish to start your
+ letter, i.e., >
+ \opening{Dear Joe,}
+
+\ps *\ps*
+ Use this command before a postscript.
+
+\signature{Harvey Swick} *\signature*
+ Your name, as it should appear at the end of the letter
+ underneath the space for your signature. Items that should go
+ on separate lines should be separated by |\\| commands.
+
+\startbreaks *\startbreaks*
+ Used after a |\stopbreaks| command to allow page breaks again.
+
+\stopbreaks *\stopbreaks*
+ Inhibit page breaks until a |\startbreaks| command occurs.
+
+\telephone{number} *\telephone*
+ This is your telephone number. This only appears if the
+ firstpage pagestyle is selected.
+
+==============================================================================
+11. Line & Page Breaking *latex-breaking*
+
+The first thing LaTeX does when processing ordinary text is to translate your
+input file into a string of glyphs and spaces. To produce a printed document,
+this string must be broken into lines, and these lines must be broken into
+pages. In some environments, you do the line breaking yourself with the |\\|
+command, but LaTeX usually does it for you.
+
+|\\| Start a new line
+|hyph-| Insert explicit hyphenation
+|\cleardoublepage| Start a new right-hand page
+|\clearpage| Start a new page
+|\enlargethispage| Enlarge the current page a bit
+|\fussy| Be fussy about line breaking
+|\hyphenation| Tell LaTeX how to hyphenate a word
+|\linebreak| Break the line
+|\newline| Break the line prematurely
+|\newpage| Start a new page
+|\nolinebreak| Don't break the current line
+|\nopagebreak| Don't make a page break here
+|\pagebreak| Please make a page break here
+|\sloppy| Be sloppy about line breaking
+
+\\[*][extraspace] *\\* *\\\\*
+ The |\\| command tells LaTeX to start a new line. It has an
+ optional argument, [extraspace], that specifies how much extra
+ vertical space is to be inserted before the next line. This
+ can be a negative amount.
+ The \\* command is the same as the ordinary |\\| command
+ except that it tells LaTeX not to start a new page after the
+ line.
+
+\- *hyph-*
+ The \- command tells LaTeX that it may hyphenate the word at
+ that point. LaTeX is very good at hyphenating, and it will
+ usually find all correct hyphenation points. The \- command is
+ used for the exceptional cases.
+ Note: when you insert \- commands in a word, the word will
+ only be hyphenated at those points and not at any of the
+ hyphenation points that LaTeX might otherwise have chosen.
+
+\cleardoublepage *\cleardoublepage*
+ The |\cleardoublepage| command ends the current page and causes
+ all figures and tables that have so far appeared in the input
+ to be printed. In a two-sided printing style (|twoside|), it
+ also makes the next page a right-hand (odd-numbered) page,
+ producing a blank page if necessary.
+
+\clearpage *\clearpage*
+ The |\clearpage| command ends the current page and causes all
+ figures and tables that have so far appeared in the input to
+ be printed.
+
+\enlargethispage{size} *\enlargethispage*
+\enlargethispage*{size}
+ Enlarge the textheight for the current page by the
+ specified amount; e.g.: >
+
+ \enlargethispage{\baselineskip}
+<
+ will allow one additional line. The starred form
+ tries to squeeze the material together on the page as
+ much as possible. This is normally used together with
+ an explicit |\pagebreak|.
+
+\fussy *\fussy*
+ This declaration (which is the default) makes TeX more fussy
+ about line breaking. This can avoids too much space between
+ words, but may produce overfull boxes. This command cancels
+ the effect of a previous |\sloppy| command.
+
+\hyphenation{words} *\hyphenation*
+ The |\hyphenation| command declares allowed hyphenation points,
+ where words is a list of words, separated by spaces, in which
+ each hyphenation point is indicated by a - character.
+
+\linebreak[number] *\linebreak*
+ The |\linebreak| command tells LaTeX to break the current line
+ at the point of the command. With the optional argument,
+ number, you can convert the |\linebreak| command from a demand
+ to a request. The [number] must be a number from 0 to 4. The
+ higher the number, the more insistent the request is. The
+ |\linebreak| command causes LaTeX to stretch the line so it
+ extends to the right margin.
+
+\newline *\newline*
+ The |\newline| command breaks the line right where it is. It
+ can only be used in paragraph mode.
+
+\newpage *\newpage*
+ The |\newpage| command ends the current page.
+
+\nolinebreak[number] *\nolinebreak*
+ The |\nolinebreak| command prevents LaTeX from breaking the
+ current line at the point of the command. With the optional
+ argument, [number], you can convert the |\nolinebreak| command
+ from a demand to a request. The [number] must be a number from 0
+ to 4. The higher the number, the more insistent the request
+ is.
+
+\nopagebreak[number] *\nopagebreak*
+ The |\nopagebreak| command prevents LaTeX from breaking the
+ current page at the point of the command. With the optional
+ argument, [number], you can convert the |\nopagebreak| command
+ from a demand to a request. The [number] must be a number from
+ 0 to 4. The higher the number, the more insistent the request
+ is.
+
+\pagebreak[number] *\pagebreak*
+ The |\pagebreak| command tells LaTeX to break the current page
+ at the point of the command. With the optional argument,
+ [number], you can convert the |\pagebreak| command from a
+ demand to a request. The [number] must be a number from 0 to
+ 4. The higher the number, the more insistent the request is.
+
+\sloppy *\sloppy*
+ This declaration makes TeX less fussy about line breaking.
+ This can prevent overfull boxes, but may leave too much space
+ between words.
+ Lasts until a |\fussy| command is issued.
+
+==============================================================================
+12. Making Paragraphs *latex-paragraphs*
+
+A paragraph is ended by one or more completely blank lines -- lines not
+containing even a |\%|. A blank line should not appear where a new paragraph
+cannot be started, such as in math mode or in the argument of a sectioning
+command.
+
+|\indent| Indent this paragraph.
+|\noindent| Do not indent this paragraph.
+|\par| Another way of writing a blank line.
+
+\indent *\indent*
+ This produces a horizontal space whose width equals the width
+ of the paragraph indentation. It is used to add paragraph
+ indentation where it would otherwise be suppressed.
+
+\noindent *\noindent*
+ When used at the beginning of the paragraph, it suppresses the
+ paragraph indentation. It has no effect when used in the
+ middle of a paragraph.
+
+\par *\par*
+ Equivalent to a blank line; often used to make command or
+ environment definitions easier to read.
+
+==============================================================================
+13. Margin Notes *latex-margin-notes*
+
+\marginpar[left]{right} *\marginpar*
+ This command creates a note in the margin. The first line will
+ be at the same height as the line in the text where the
+ |\marginpar| occurs.
+
+ When you only specify the mandatory argument {right}, the text
+ will be placed:
+ * in the right margin for one-sided layout
+ * in the outside margin for two-sided layout (|twoside|)
+ * in the nearest margin for two-column layout (|twocolumn|)
+
+\reversemarginpar *\reversemarginpar*
+ By issuing the command |\reversemarginpar|, you can force the
+ marginal notes to go into the opposite (inside) margin.
+
+When you specify both arguments, left is used for the left margin, and right
+is used for the right margin.
+
+The first word will normally not be hyphenated; you can enable hyphenation by
+prefixing the first word with a \hspace{0pt} command (|hspace|).
+
+==============================================================================
+14. Math Formulae *latex-math*
+ *displaymath*
+There are three environments (|latex-environments|) that put LaTeX in math
+mode:
+|math| For Formulae that appear right in the text.
+|displaymath| For Formulae that appear on their own line.
+|equation| The same as the displaymath environment except that it adds an
+ equation number in the right margin.
+
+The |math| environment can be used in both paragraph and LR mode, but the
+|displaymath| and |equation| environments can be used only in paragraph mode. The
+|math| and |displaymath| environments are used so often that they have the
+following short forms:
+ \(...\) instead of \begin{math}...\end{math}
+ \[...\] instead of \begin{displaymath}...\end{displaymath}
+
+In fact, the math environment is so common that it has an even shorter form:
+ $ ... $ instead of \(...\)
+
+|sub-sup| Also known as exponent or index.
+|math-symbols| Various mathematical squiggles.
+|math-spacing| Thick, medium, thin and negative spaces.
+|math-misc| Stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else.
+
+==========
+Subscripts & Superscripts *sub-sup*
+ *subscripts* *superscripts*
+
+To get an expression exp to appear as a subscript, you just type _{exp}. To
+get exp to appear as a superscript, you type ^{exp}. LaTeX handles
+superscripted superscripts and all of that stuff in the natural way. It even
+does the right thing when something has both a subscript and a superscript.
+
+==========
+Math Symbols *math-symbols*
+
+LaTeX provides almost any mathematical symbol you're likely to need. The
+commands for generating them can be used only in math mode. For example, if
+you include >
+ $\pi$
+in your source, you will get the symbol in your output.
+
+==========
+Spacing in Math Mode *math-spacing*
+
+In a math environment, LaTeX ignores the spaces you type and puts in the
+spacing that it thinks is best. LaTeX formats mathematics the way it's done in
+mathematics texts. If you want different spacing, LaTeX provides the following
+four commands for use in math mode:
+ \; - a thick space *math;*
+ \: - a medium space *math:*
+ \, - a thin space *math,*
+ \! - a negative thin space *matn!*
+
+==========
+Math Miscellany *math-misc*
+
+\cdots *\cdots*
+ Produces a horizontal ellipsis where the dots are raised to
+ the centre of the line.
+\ddots *\ddots*
+ Produces a diagonal ellipsis.
+\frac{num}{den} *\frac*
+ Produces the fraction num divided by den.
+\ldots *\ldots*
+ Produces an ellipsis. This command works in any mode, not just
+ math mode.
+\overbrace{text} *\overbrace*
+ Generates a brace over text.
+\overline{text} *\overline*
+ Causes the argument text to be overlined.
+\sqrt[root]{arg} *\sqrt*
+ Produces the square root of its argument. The optional
+ argument, [root], determines what root to produce, i.e., the
+ cube root of x+y would be typed as: >
+ $\sqrt[3]{x+y}$.
+\underbrace{text} *\underbrace*
+ Generates text with a brace underneath.
+\underline{text} *\underline*
+ Causes the argument text to be underlined. This command can
+ also be used in paragraph and LR mode.
+\vdots *\vdots*
+ Produces a vertical ellipsis.
+
+==============================================================================
+15. Modes *latex-modes*
+
+When LaTeX is processing your input text, it is always in one of three modes:
+ Paragraph mode *paragraph-mode*
+ Math mode *math-mode*
+ Left-to-right mode, called LR mode for short. *lr-mode*
+
+LaTeX changes mode only when it goes up or down a staircase to a different
+level, though not all level changes produce mode changes. Mode changes occur
+only when entering or leaving an environment, or when LaTeX is processing the
+argument of certain text-producing commands.
+
+|paragraph-mode| is the most common; it's the one LaTeX is in when processing
+ordinary text. In that mode, LaTeX breaks your text into lines and breaks the
+lines into pages. LaTeX is in |math-mode| when it's generating a mathematical
+formula. In |lr-mode|, as in |paragraph-mode|, LaTeX considers the output that
+it produces to be a string of words with spaces between them. However, unlike
+|paragraph-mode|, LaTeX keeps going from left to right; it never starts a new
+line in |lr-mode|. Even if you put a hundred words into an |\mbox|, LaTeX would
+keep typesetting them from left to right inside a single box, and then
+complain because the resulting box was too wide to fit on the line.
+
+LaTeX is in |lr-mode| when it starts making a box with an |\mbox| command. You
+can get it to enter a different mode inside the box - for example, you can
+make it enter |math-mode| to put a formula in the box. There are also several
+text-producing commands and environments for making a box that put LaTeX in
+|paragraph-mode|. The box make by one of these commands or environments will be
+called a |\parbox|. When LaTeX is in |paragraph-mode| while making a box, it is
+said to be in "inner paragraph mode". Its normal |paragraph-mode|, which it
+starts out in, is called "outer paragraph mode".
+
+==============================================================================
+16. Page Styles *latex-page-styles*
+
+The |\documentclass| command determines the size and position of the page's head
+and foot. The page style determines what goes in them.
+
+|\maketitle| Generate a title page.
+|\pagenumbering| Set the style used for page numbers.
+|\pagestyle| Change the headings/footings style.
+|\thispagestyle| Change the headings/footings style for this page.
+
+\maketitle *\maketitle*
+ The |\maketitle| command generates a title on a separate title
+ page - except in the |\article| class, where the title normally
+ goes at the top of the first page. Information used to
+ produce the title is obtained from the following declarations:
+
+ |\author| Who wrote this stuff?
+ |\date| The date the document was created.
+ |\thanks| A special form of footnote.
+ |\title| How to set the document title.
+
+ \author{names} *\author* *\and*
+ The |\author| command declares the author(s), where
+ names is a list of authors separated by \and commands.
+ Use |\\| to separate lines within a single author's
+ entry -- for example, to give the author's institution
+ or address.
+
+ \date{text} *\date*
+ The |\date| command declares text to be the document's
+ date. With no |\date| command, the current date is
+ used.
+
+ \thanks{text} *\thanks*
+ The |\thanks| command produces a |\footnote| to the
+ title.
+
+ \title{text} *\title*
+ The |\title| command declares text to be the title. Use
+ |\\| to tell LaTeX where to start a new line in a long
+ title.
+
+\pagenumbering{numstyle} *\pagenumbering*
+ Specifies the style of page numbers. Possible values of
+ 'numstyle' are:
+ arabic - Arabic numerals *arabic*
+ roman - Lowercase Roman numerals *roman*
+ Roman - Uppercase Roman numerals *Roman*
+ alph - Lowercase letters *alph*
+ Alph - Uppercase letters *Alph*
+
+\pagestyle{option} *\pagestyle*
+ *plain* *empty* *headings*
+ The |\pagestyle| command changes the style from the current
+ page on throughout the remainder of your document.
+ The valid options are:
+ plain - Just a plain page number.
+ empty - Produces empty heads and feet no page numbers.
+ headings - Puts running headings on each page. The document
+ style specifies what goes in the headings.
+ myheadings - You specify what is to go in the heading with the
+ |\markboth| or the |\markright| commands.
+
+ |\markboth| Set left and right headings.
+ |\markright| Set right heading only.
+
+ \markboth{left head}{right head} *\markboth*
+ The |\markboth| command is used in conjunction with the
+ page style myheadings for setting both the left and
+ the right heading.
+ Note that a "left-hand heading" is generated by the
+ last |\markboth| command before the end of the page,
+ while a "right-hand heading" is generated by the first
+ |\markboth| or |\markright| that comes on the page if
+ there is one, otherwise by the last one before the
+ page.
+
+
+ \markright{right head} *\markright*
+ The |\markright| command is used in conjunction with
+ the page style |\myheadings| for setting the right
+ heading, leaving the left heading unchanged.
+ Note that a "left-hand heading" is generated by the
+ last |\markboth| command before the end of the page,
+ while a "right-hand heading" is generated by the first
+ |\markboth| or |\markright| that comes on the page if
+ there is one, otherwise by the last one before the
+ page.
+
+\thispagestyle{option} *\thispagestyle*
+ The |\thispagestyle| command works in the same manner as the
+ |\pagestyle| command except that it changes the style for the
+ current page only.
+
+==============================================================================
+17. Sectioning *latex-sectioning*
+
+Sectioning commands provide the means to structure your text into units.
+|\part|
+|\chapter| (report and book class only)
+|\section|
+|\subsection|
+|\subsubsection|
+|\paragraph|
+|\subparagraph|
+
+All sectioning commands take the same general form, i.e.,
+
+ *\part*
+ *\chapter* (report and book class only)
+ *\section* *\subsection* *\subsubsection*
+ *\paragraph* *\subparagraph*
+\chapter[optional]{title}
+ In addition to providing the heading in the text, the
+ mandatory argument of the sectioning command can appear in two
+ other places:
+ 1. The table of contents
+ 2. The running head at the top of the page. You may not want
+ the same thing to appear in these other two places as
+ appears in the text heading. To handle this situation, the
+ sectioning commands have an optional argument that provides
+ the text for these other two purposes.
+
+All sectioning commands have *\-forms that print a title, but do not include a
+number and do not make an entry in the table of contents.
+
+\appendix *\appendix*
+ The |\appendix| command changes the way sectional units are
+ numbered. The |\appendix| command generates no text and does
+ not affect the numbering of parts. The normal use of this
+ command is something like: >
+ \chapter{The First Chapter}
+ ...
+ \appendix \chapter{The First Appendix}
+
+
+==============================================================================
+18. Spaces & Boxes *latex-spaces-boxes*
+
+All the predefined length parameters See section Predefined lengths can be
+used in the arguments of the box-making commands.
+
+ Horizontal space:
+
+|\dotfill| Stretchable horizontal dots.
+|\hfill| Stretchable horizontal space.
+|\hrulefill| Stretchable horizontal rule.
+|\hspace| Fixed horizontal space.
+
+ Vertical space:
+
+|\addvspace| Fixed vertical space.
+|\bigskip| Fixed vertical space.
+|\medskip| Fixed vertical space.
+|\smallskip| Fixed vertical space.
+|\vfill| Stretchable vertical space.
+|\vspace| Fixed vertical space.
+
+ Boxes:
+
+|\fbox| Framebox.
+|\framebox| Framebox, adjustable position.
+|\lrbox| An environment like |\sbox|.
+|\makebox| Box, adjustable position.
+|\mbox| Box.
+|\newsavebox| Declare a name for saving a box.
+|\parbox| Box with text in paragraph mode.
+|\raisebox| Raise or lower text.
+|\rule| Lines and squares.
+|\savebox| Like |\makebox|, but save the text for later use.
+|\sbox| Like |\mbox|, but save the text for later use.
+|\usebox| Print saved text.
+
+Horizontal space: *latex-hor-space*
+
+LaTeX removes horizontal space that comes at the end of a line. If you don't
+want LaTeX to remove this space, include the optional * argument. Then the
+space is never removed.
+
+\dotfill *\dotfill*
+ The |\dotfill| command produces a "rubber length" that produces
+ dots instead of just spaces.
+
+\hfill *\hfill*
+ The |\hfill| fill command produces a "rubber length" which can
+ stretch or shrink horizontally. It will be filled with spaces.
+
+\hrulefill *\hrulefill*
+ The |\hrulefill| fill command produces a "rubber length" which
+ can stretch or shrink horizontally. It will be filled with a
+ horizontal rule.
+
+\hspace[*]{length} *\hspace*
+ The |\hspace| command adds horizontal space. The length of the
+ space can be expressed in any terms that LaTeX understands,
+ i.e., points, inches, etc. You can add negative as well as
+ positive space with an |\hspace| command. Adding negative space
+ is like backspacing.
+
+
+Vertical space: *latex-ver-space*
+
+LaTeX removes vertical space that comes at the end of a page. If you don't
+want LaTeX to remove this space, include the optional * argument. Then the
+space is never removed.
+
+\addvspace{length} *\addvspace*
+ The |\addvspace| command normally adds a vertical space of
+ height length. However, if vertical space has already been
+ added to the same point in the output by a previous
+ |\addvspace| command, then this command will not add more space
+ than needed to make the natural length of the total vertical
+ space equal to length.
+
+\bigskip *\bigskip*
+ The |\bigskip| command is equivalent to \vspace{bigskipamount}
+ where bigskipamount is determined by the document class.
+
+\medskip *\medskip*
+ The |\medskip| command is equivalent to \vspace{medskipamount}
+ where medskipamount is determined by the document class.
+
+\smallskip *\smallskip*
+ The |\smallskip| command is equivalent to
+ \vspace{smallskipamount} where smallskipamount is determined
+ by the document class.
+
+\vfill *\vfill*
+ The |\vfill| fill command produces a rubber length which can
+ stretch or shrink vertically.
+
+\vspace[*]{length} *\vspace*
+ The |\vspace| command adds vertical space. The length of the
+ space can be expressed in any terms that LaTeX understands,
+ i.e., points, inches, etc. You can add negative as well as
+ positive space with an |\vspace| command.
+
+
+Boxes: *latex-boxes*
+
+\fbox{text} *\fbox*
+ The |\fbox| command is exactly the same as the |\mbox| command,
+ except that it puts a frame around the outside of the box that
+ it creates.
+
+\framebox[width][position]{text} *\framebox*
+ The |\framebox| command is exactly the same as the |\makebox|
+ command, except that it puts a frame around the outside of the
+ box that it creates.
+ The |\framebox| command produces a rule of thickness
+ |\fboxrule|, and leaves a space |\fboxsep| between the rule and
+ the contents of the box.
+
+lrbox *\lrbox*
+\begin{lrbox}{cmd} text \end{lrbox}
+ This is the environment form of |\sbox|.
+ The text inside the environment is saved in the box cmd, which
+ must have been declared with |\newsavebox|.
+
+\makebox[width][position]{text} *\makebox*
+ The |\makebox| command creates a box just wide enough to
+ contain the text specified. The width of the box is specified
+ by the optional [width] argument. The position of the text
+ within the box is determined by the optional [position]
+ argument.
+ c -- centred (default)
+ l -- flushleft
+ r -- flushright
+ s -- stretch from left to right margin. The text must
+ contain stretchable space for this to work.
+ See section |\picture-makebox|.
+
+\mbox{text} *\mbox*
+ The |\mbox| command creates a box just wide enough to hold the
+ text created by its argument.
+ Use this command to prevent text from being split across
+ lines.
+
+\newsavebox{cmd} *\newsavebox*
+ Declares {cmd}, which must be a command name that is not
+ already defined, to be a bin for saving boxes.
+
+
+\parbox[position][height][innerpos]{width}{text} *\parbox*
+ A parbox is a box whose contents are created in
+ |\paragraph-mode|. The |\parbox| has two
+
+ Mandatory arguments:
+'width' specifies the width of the parbox
+'text' the text that goes inside the parbox.
+
+ Optional arguments:
+'position' LaTeX will position a parbox so its centre lines up with the
+ centre of the text line. The optional position argument allows
+ you to line up either the top or bottom line in the parbox
+ (default is top).
+
+'height' If the height argument is not given, the box will have the
+ natural height of the text.
+
+'innerpos' The inner-pos argument controls the placement of the text
+ inside the box. If it is not specified, position is used.
+ t -- text is placed at the top of the box
+ c -- text is centred in the box
+ b -- text is placed at the bottom of the box
+ s -- stretch vertically. The text must contain
+ vertically stretchable space for this to work.
+
+ A |\parbox| command is used for a parbox containing a small
+ piece of text, with nothing fancy inside. In particular, you
+ shouldn't use any of the paragraph-making environments inside
+ a |\parbox| argument. For larger pieces of text, including ones
+ containing a paragraph-making environment, you should use a
+ |\minipage| environment.
+
+\raisebox{distance}[extendabove][extendbelow]{text} *\raisebox*
+ The |\raisebox| command is used to raise or lower text. The
+ first mandatory argument specifies how high the text is to be
+ raised (or lowered if it is a negative amount). The text
+ itself is processed in LR mode.
+ Sometimes it's useful to make LaTeX think something has a
+ different size than it really does - or a different size than
+ LaTeX would normally think it has. The |\raisebox| command
+ lets you tell LaTeX how tall it is.
+ The first optional argument, extend-above, makes LaTeX think
+ that the text extends above the line by the amount specified.
+ The second optional argument, extend-below, makes LaTeX think
+ that the text extends below the line by the amount specified.
+
+\rule[raiseheight]{width}{thickness} *\rule*
+ The |\rule| command is used to produce horizontal lines. The
+ arguments are defined as follows:
+'raiseheight' specifies how high to raise the rule (optional)
+'width' specifies the length of the rule (mandatory)
+'thickness' specifies the thickness of the rule (mandatory)
+
+\savebox{cmd}[width][pos]{text} *\savebox*
+ This command typeset text in a box just as for |\makebox|.
+ However, instead of printing the resulting box, it saves it in
+ bin cmd, which must have been declared with |\newsavebox|.
+
+\sbox{text} *\sbox*
+ This commands typeset text in a box just as for |\mbox|.
+ However, instead of printing the resulting box, it saves it in
+ bin cmd, which must have been declared with |\newsavebox|.
+
+\usebox{cmd} *\usebox*
+ Prints the box most recently saved in bin cmd by a |\savebox|
+ command.
+
+==============================================================================
+19. Special Characters *latex-special*
+
+The following characters play a special role in LaTeX and are called "special
+printing characters", or simply "special characters". >
+ # $ % & ~ _ ^ \ { }
+Whenever you put one of these special characters into your file, you are doing
+something special. If you simply want the character to be printed just as any
+other letter, include a \ in front of the character. For example, \$ will
+produce $ in your output.
+
+One exception to this rule is the \ itself because |\\| has its own special
+meaning. A \ is produced by typing $\backslash$ in your file.
+
+Also, \~ means `place a tilde accent over the following letter', so you will
+probably want to use |\verb| instead.
+ *\symbol*
+In addition, you can access any character of a font once you know its number
+by using the |\symbol| command. For example, the character used for displaying
+spaces in the |\verb|* command has the code decimal 32, so it can be typed as
+\symbol{32}.
+
+You can also specify octal numbers with ' or hexadecimal numbers with ", so
+the previous example could also be written as \symbol{'40} or \symbol{"20}.
+
+==============================================================================
+20. Splitting the Input *latex-inputting*
+
+A large document requires a lot of input. Rather than putting the whole input
+in a single large file, it's more efficient to split it into several smaller
+ones. Regardless of how many separate files you use, there is one that is the
+root file; it is the one whose name you type when you run LaTeX.
+
+|\include| Conditionally include a file
+|\includeonly| Determine which files are included
+|\input| Unconditionally include a file
+
+\include{file} *\include*
+ The \include command is used in conjunction with the
+ |\includeonly| command for selective inclusion of
+ files. The file argument is the first name of a file,
+ denoting `file.tex' . If file is one the file names in
+ the file list of the |\includeonly| command or if there
+ is no |\includeonly| command, the \include command is
+ equivalent to: >
+ \clearpage \input{file} \clearpage
+<
+ except that if the file `file.tex' does not exist,
+ then a warning message rather than an error is
+ produced. If the file is not in the file list, the
+ \include command is equivalent to |\clearpage|.
+
+ The |\include| command may not appear in the preamble or in a
+ file read by another |\include| command.
+
+\includeonly{filelist} *\includeonly*
+ The |\includeonly| command controls which files will be read in
+ by an |\include| command. {filelist} should be a
+ comma-separated list of filenames. Each filename must match
+ exactly a filename specified in a |\include| command. This
+ command can only appear in the preamble.
+
+\input{file} *\input*
+ The |\input| command causes the indicated file to be read and
+ processed, exactly as if its contents had been inserted in the
+ current file at that point. The file name may be a complete
+ file name with extension or just a first name, in which case
+ the file `file.tex' is used.
+==============================================================================
+21. Starting & Ending *latex-start-end*
+
+Your input file must contain the following commands as a minimum:
+\documentclass{class} |\documentclass|
+\begin{document} |\begin|
+... your text goes here ...

+
+where the class selected is one of the valid classes for LaTeX.
+See |\classes|for details of the various document classes.
+
+You may include other LaTeX commands between the |\documentclass| and the
+\begin{document} commands (i.e., in the `preamble').
+==============================================================================
+22. Table of Contents *latex-toc*
+
+ *\tableofcontents*
+A table of contents is produced with the |\tableofcontents| command. You put
+the command right where you want the table of contents to go; LaTeX does the
+rest for you. It produces a heading, but it does not automatically start a new
+page. If you want a new page after the table of contents, include a |\newpage|
+command after the |\tableofcontents| command.
+
+ *\listoffigures* *\listoftables*
+There are similar commands |\listoffigures| and |\listoftables| for producing a
+list of figures and a list of tables, respectively. Everything works exactly
+the same as for the table of contents.
+
+ *\nofiles*
+NOTE: If you want any of these items to be generated, you cannot have the
+\nofiles command in your document.
+
+|\addcontentsline| Add an entry to table of contents etc.
+|\addtocontents| Add text directly to table of contents file etc.
+
+\addcontentsline{file}{secunit}{entry} *\addcontentsline*
+ The |\addcontentsline| command adds an entry to the specified
+ list or table where:
+{file} is the extension of the file on which information is to be
+ written:
+ toc (table of contents),
+ lof (list of figures),
+ lot (list of tables).
+{secunit} controls the formatting of the entry. It should be one of the
+ following, depending upon the value of the file argument:
+ toc -- the name of the sectional unit, such as part or
+ subsection.
+ lof -- figure
+ lot -- table
+{entry} is the text of the entry.
+
+\addtocontents{file}{text} *\addtocontents*
+ The |\addtocontents| command adds text (or formatting commands)
+ directly to the file that generates the table of contents or
+ list of figures or tables.
+{file} is the extension of the file on which information is to be written:
+ toc (table of contents),
+ lof (list of figures),
+ lot (list of tables).
+{text} is the information to be written.
+
+==============================================================================
+23. Terminal Input/Output *latex-terminal*
+
+|\typein| Read text from the terminal.
+|\typeout| Write text to the terminal.
+
+\typein[cmd]{msg} *\typein*
+ Prints {msg} on the terminal and causes LaTeX to stop and wait
+ for you to type a line of input, ending with return. If the
+ [cmd] argument is missing, the typed input is processed as if
+ it had been included in the input file in place of the
+ |\typein| command. If the [cmd] argument is present, it must be
+ a command name. This command name is then defined or redefined
+ to be the typed input.
+
+\typeout{msg} *\typeout*
+ Prints {msg} on the terminal and in the `.log' file. Commands
+ in {msg} that are defined with |\newcommand| or |\renewcommand|
+ are replaced by their definitions before being printed.
+
+ *\space*
+LaTeX's usual rules for treating multiple spaces as a single space and
+ignoring spaces after a command name apply to {msg}. A |\space| command in {msg}
+causes a single space to be printed. A ^^J in {msg} prints a newline.
+
+==============================================================================
+24. Typefaces *latex-typefaces*
+
+The typeface is specified by giving the "size" and "style". A typeface is also
+called a "font".
+|font-styles| Select roman, italics etc.
+|font-size| Select point size.
+|font-lowlevelcommands| Commands for wizards.
+
+Styles *font-styles*
+
+The following type style commands are supported by LaTeX.
+
+These commands are used like: >
+ \textit{italics text}.
+The corresponding command in parenthesis is the "declaration form", which
+takes no arguments. The scope of the declaration form lasts until the next
+type style command or the end of the current group.
+
+The declaration forms are cumulative; i.e., you can say: >
+ \sffamily\bfseries
+to get sans serif boldface.
+
+You can also use the environment form of the declaration forms; e.g.: >
+ \begin{ttfamily}...\end{ttfamily}.
+<
+\textrm (\rmfamily) *\textrm* *\rmfamily*
+ Roman
+
+\textit (\itshape) *\textit* *\itshape* *\emph*
+ Emphasis (toggles between |\textit| and |\textrm|).
+
+\textmd (\mdseries) *\textmd* *\mdseries*
+ Medium weight (default). The opposite of boldface.
+
+\textbf (\bfseries) *\textbf* *\bfseries*
+ Boldface.
+
+\textup (\upshape) *\textup* *\upshape*
+ Upright (default). The opposite of slanted.
+
+\textsl (\slshape) *\textsl* *\slshape*
+ Slanted.
+
+\textsf (\sffamily) *\textsf* *\sffamily*
+ Sans serif.
+
+\textsc (\scshape) *\textsc* *\scshape*
+ Small caps.
+
+\texttt (\ttfamily) *\texttt* *\ttfamily*
+ Typewriter.
+
+\textnormal (\normalfont) *\textnormal* *\normalfont*
+ Main document font.
+
+\mathrm *\mathrm*
+ Roman, for use in math mode.
+
+\mathbf *\mathbf*
+ Boldface, for use in math mode.
+
+\mathsf *\mathsf*
+ Sans serif, for use in math mode.
+
+\mathtt *\mathtt*
+ Typewriter, for use in math mode.
+
+\mathit *\mathit*
+ Italics, for use in math mode, e.g. variable names with
+ several letters.
+
+\mathnormal *\mathnormal*
+ For use in math mode, e.g. inside another type style
+ declaration.
+
+\mathcal *\mathcal*
+ `Calligraphic' letters, for use in math mode.
+
+ *\mathversion*
+In addition, the command \mathversion{bold} can be used for switching to bold
+letters and symbols in formulas. \mathversion{normal} restores the default.
+
+==========
+Sizes *font-size*
+
+The following standard type size commands are supported by LaTeX.
+
+The commands as listed here are "declaration forms". The scope of the
+declaration form lasts until the next type style command or the end of the
+current group.
+
+You can also use the environment form of these commands; e.g. >
+ \begin{tiny}...\end{tiny}
+
+\tiny *\tiny*
+\scriptsize *\scriptsize*
+\footnotesize *\footnotesize*
+\small *\small*
+\normalsize(default) *\normalsize*
+\large *\large*
+\Large *\Large*
+\LARGE *\LARGE*
+\huge *\huge*
+\Huge *\Huge*
+
+==========
+Low-level font commands *font-lowlevelcommands*
+
+These commands are primarily intended for writers of macros and packages. The
+commands listed here are only a subset of the available ones. For full
+details, you should consult Chapter 7 of The LaTeX Companion.
+
+\fontencoding{enc} *\fontencoding*
+ Select font encoding. Valid encodings include OT1 and T1.
+
+\fontfamily{family} *\fontfamily*
+ Select font family. Valid families include:
+ cmr for Computer Modern Roman
+ cmss for Computer Modern Sans Serif
+ cmtt for Computer Modern Typewriter
+ and numerous others.
+
+\fontseries{series} *\fontseries*
+ Select font series. Valid series include:
+ m Medium (normal)
+ b Bold
+ c Condensed
+ bc Bold condensed
+ bx Bold extended
+ and various other combinations.
+
+\fontshape{shape} *\fontshape*
+ Select font shape. Valid shapes are:
+ n Upright (normal)
+ it Italic
+ sl Slanted (oblique)
+ sc Small caps
+ ui Upright italics
+ ol Outline
+ The two last shapes are not available for most font families.
+
+\fontsize{size}{skip} *\fontsize*
+ Set font size. The first parameter is the font size to switch
+ to; the second is the \baselineskip to use. The unit of both
+ parameters defaults to pt. A rule of thumb is that the
+ baselineskip should be 1.2 times the font size.
+
+\selectfont *\selectfont*
+ The changes made by calling the four font commands described
+ above do not come into effect until |\selectfont| is called.
+
+\usefont{enc}{family}{series}{shape} *\usefont*
+ Equivalent to calling |\fontencoding|, |\fontfamily|,
+ |\fontseries| and |\fontshape| with the given parameters,
+ followed by |\selectfont|.
+
+==============================================================================
+25. Parameters *latex-parameters*
+
+The input file specification indicates the file to be formatted; TeX uses
+`.tex' as a default file extension. If you omit the input file entirely, TeX
+accepts input from the terminal. You specify command options by supplying a
+string as a parameter to the command; e.g. >
+
+ latex "\scrollmode\input foo.tex"
+
+will process `foo.tex' without pausing after every error.
+
+Output files are always created in the current directory. When you fail to
+specify an input file name, TeX bases the output names on the file
+specification associated with the logical name TEX_OUTPUT, typically
+texput.log.
