Originally written 1995, Torsten Martinsen. +Spanish translation originally from Nacho Pacheco (currently unmaintained). +French translation originally from Vincent Belaiche. + +Changes in October 2018 release: + +The main change is that we now offer the manual in a version that +is split into separate web pages for each section or subsection. +This new version is more host-friendly. To celebrate we have +set up a host. + https://latexref.xyz +We still offer the one-page version. + http://latexref.xyz/dev/latex2e.html +So you now have an easy-to-remember way to access the reference. + +If you'd like to host a mirror of the manual, whether to have a +convenient local reference or to offer a service to the community, we've +included instructions at https://latexref.xyz/dev/mirroring.html. + +In addition to the format news, there were many bug fixes and new entries, +including \smash and \phantom. + +---------------------------------------------------------------- + +Changes in July 2018 release: + +We have gone through the two documents latex-info and +latex2e-reference and checked that any information in those documents +is in this one. + +There have also been other changes, including switching to a single +unified index, a more uniform entry format, and many more examples and +error messages. There are a number of entirely new entries such as +ones on \strut, caligraphic math fonts, \boldmath, and blackboard +bold. There have also been adjustments to the organization such as +having separate sections for \part, \chapter, etc., and some +combinations such as that of \clearpage and \cleardoublepage. + +In addition, there were many bug fixes, including greatly shrinking +the size of one of the graphics. + +---------------------------------------------------------------- + +Changes in April 2018 release: + +There is a new chapter on color and a new chapter on graphics +inclusion (all the commands from grfguide.pdf are now covered), +there is much greater coverage of the list environment including a +diagram of the parameters, and a description of the tabbing +environment. + + +---------------------------------------------------------------- +Changes in Aug 2017 release: + +Besides the usual bug fixes, some of the changes in this version +include coverage of \makeatletter and \makeatother, \@startsection, +and commands for writing classes and packages, as well as improvements +in the descriptions of floats, the letter environment, \raisebox, +\onecolumn and \twocolumn, and many more. + +---------------------------------------------------------------- +Changes in Apr 2016 release: + +Provide first complete French translation --- still not fully aligned +on the latest revisions of the English version. + +Fix \newfont description. Clarify discretionary multiplication and +\discretionary. Clarify space gobbling after control word. Making +environment indexing consistent, improve some synopsis syntax, notably +for optional parameters. Improve naming of Math symbols. Usual bug and +typo fixes. + +---------------------------------------------------------------- +Changes in Oct 2015 release: + +Many examples added, often using typical constructs. +Extend many entries to include points frequently asked. +Show list of math characters using Unicode glyphs. +Translations not yet part of update; needs to be worked out. +Thanks to Vincent Belaiche for many contributions. + +---------------------------------------------------------------- +Changes in May 2015 release: + +Usual bug fixes, more indexing, template updates. +Improve document and LaTeX overview, including general syntax. +Mention common engines, core classes, output files, italic corrections, pict2e. +Clarify optional arguments. +Avoid using plain's \sup, since @sup will be a Texinfo command. +For HTML, make the Up from Top be http://tug.org/texinfohtml. +Exception word list for spell checking, and make target for spell + checking and doubled words. +- +French translation begun (only in sources); Spanish translation updated. +Thanks to Vincent Belaiche and Jim Hefferon for their many contributions. + +---------------------------------------------------------------- +Changes in May 2014 release: + +Usual bug fixes, template updates. +Add filecontents description, fnsymbol info, non-obsolescence of \tt et al., + mostly due to Vincent Belaiche. +Updates to Spanish translation, also from Vincent. + +---------------------------------------------------------------- +Changes in May 2013 release: + +Usual bug fixes, template updates. +Mention \unitlength default (1pt) and \oldstylenums. +Fix in ltx-help.el to find correct nodes for environments, etc. + +---------------------------------------------------------------- +Changes in May 2012 release: + +Template updates and references. +More on floats. +Mention a few other documents. + +---------------------------------------------------------------- +Changes in May 2011 release: + +Usual bug fixes, additional background info. +TUGboat sample document updated. +Discussion of width parameters. + +---------------------------------------------------------------- +Changes in July 2010 release: + +Usual bug fixes. Added a number of control sequences from ltoutenc that +typeset particular glyphs. + +---------------------------------------------------------------- +Changes in September 2009 release: + +A bit more about figures and indexes, use of @table where appropriate in +the source, usual array of minor fixes, added references, etc. + +---------------------------------------------------------------- +Changes in release 2.0: + +After discussions with Torsten and Stephen Gilmore, maintainership of +this document has been handed off to me. See the README for more +project info. + +Dozens of missing commands added; all mathematical symbol commands in +basic LaTeX are now included. Also a few usage examples, template +documents, default values, and more. Of course plenty more work could +be done, contributions welcome. + +The Info file is now named latex2e.info, for consistency. ltx-help.el +updated accordingly. + +Derived files generated with the current TeX and Texinfo. + +Karl Berry (karl@freefriends.org), June 12 2008 + +---------------------------------------------------------------- +Changes in release 1.6: + +Some minor bug fixes; thanks to Piet van Oostrum and Ralf +Fassel for those. + +The node previously named 'List of Commands' is now named 'Command +Index' so that the Emacs command Info-index may work. Suggested by Ralf +Fassel. 'ltx-help.el' has therefore been updated. You _must_ use the +ltx-help.el included in this release with version 1.6 of latex2e.texi. +A bug has also been fixed in ltx-help.el; thanks to Kurt Hornik for +this. + +As always, bug reports and comments are welcome. + +Torsten Martinsen, April 24 1996 + +---------------------------------------------------------------- +Changes in release 1.3: + +A selection of low-level NFSS2 commands added. +A short description of how to use BibTeX. +Concept index cleaned up. +Function index should be complete now. +Better formatting. +Description of recommended naming conventions for labels. +Several minor omissions and errors fixed. + +Torsten Martinsen, March 13th 1995 + +---------------------------------------------------------------- +Changes in release 1.4: + +NOTE: The name of the generated Info file is now `latex' and not `latex2e'. +More commands added to function index (ahem). +Index generally improved. +A few omissions fixed. + +Torsten Martinsen, April 5th 1995 + +---------------------------------------------------------------- +Changes in release 1.5: + +All menu items now have one-line descriptions. +Major cleanup of next/previous links. +Some other minor cleanups. +NOTE that my mail address has changed. +Emacs Lisp file 'ltx-help.el' for use with AUC TeX included. + +Torsten Martinsen, April 9 1996 |
