     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''.
