CTAN update: LaTeX for Word Processor Users
latex – A TeX macro package that defines LaTeX
LaTeX is a widely-used macro package for TeX, providing many basic document formating commands extended by a wide range of packages. It is a development of Leslie Lamport’s LaTeX 2.09, and superseded the older system in June 1994. The basic distribution is catalogued separately, at latex-base; apart from a large set of contributed packages and third-party documentation (elsewhere on the archive), the distribution includes:
– a bunch of
required packages, which LaTeX
authors are “entitled to assume” will be present
on any system running LaTeX; and
– a minimal set of documentation detailing differences
from the ‘old’ version of LaTeX in the areas of
user commands,
font selection and control,
class and package writing,
font encodings,
configuration options and
modification of LaTeX.
For downloading details, see the linked catalogue entries above.
