+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}
+
+ array: Math arrays.
+ center: Centred lines.
+ description: Labelled lists.
+ enumerate: Numbered lists.
+ eqnarray: Sequences of aligned equations.
+ equation: Displayed equation.
+ figure: Floating figures.
+ flushleft: Flushed left lines.
+ flushright: Flushed right lines.
+ itemize: Bulleted lists.
+ letter: Letters.
+ list: Generic list environment.
+ minipage: Miniature page.
+ picture: Picture with text, arrows, lines and
+ circles.
+ quotation: Indented environment with paragraph
+ indentation.
+ quote: Indented environment with no paragraph
+ indentation.
+ tabbing: Align text arbitrarily.
+ table: Floating tables.
+ tabular: Align text in columns.
+ thebibliography: Bibliography or reference list.
+ theorem: Theorems, lemmas, etc.
+ titlepage: For hand crafted title pages.
+ verbatim: Simulating typed input.
+ verse: For poetry and other things.
+
+############################################################
+ 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.
+############################################################
+ 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: The declaration form of the center environment.
+
+############################################################
+ \centering ::centering::
+############################################################
+This declaration corresponds to the center environment. This
+declaration can be used inside an environment such as quote
+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) that ends the
+paragraph unit.
+############################################################
+ description ::discription::
+############################################################
+
+ \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.
+############################################################
+ 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.
+
+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 Counters). The type of numbering can be
+changed by redefining \theenumi etc.
+############################################################
+ 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 &.
+
+An equation number is placed on every line unless that line
+has a \nonumber command.
+
+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.
+############################################################
+ 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.
+############################################################
+ 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 and article classes 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.
+############################################################
+ 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: The declaration form of the flushleft
+ environment.
+
+############################################################
+ \raggedright ::raggedright::
+############################################################
+This declaration corresponds to the flushleft environment.
+This declaration can be used inside an environment such as
+quote 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) that ends the
+paragraph unit.
+############################################################
+ 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: The declaration form of the flushright environment.
+
+############################################################
+ \raggedleft ::raggedleft::
+############################################################
+This declaration corresponds to the flushright environment.
+This declaration can be used inside an environment such as
+quote 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) that ends the
+paragraph unit.
+############################################################
+ 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. 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 Counters).
+The type of numbering can be changed by redefining \theitemi
+etc.
+############################################################
+ letter ::letter::
+############################################################
+This environment is used for creating letters. See section
+Letters.
+############################################################
+ list ::list::item::
+############################################################
+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}
+
+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.
+
+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.
+############################################################
+ 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 section Counters.
+
+NOTE: Don't put one minipage inside another if you are using
+footnotes; they may wind up at the bottom of the wrong
+minipage.
+############################################################
+ picture ::picture::
+############################################################
+ \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 command creates an LR box.
+You can put anything in the text argument of the \put command 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 ::circle::
+############################################################
+\circle[*]{diameter}
+The \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 that only circles up to 40 pt can be drawn.
+############################################################
+ \dashbox ::dashbox::
+############################################################
+Draws a box with a dashed line.
+\dashbox{dash_length}(width,height){...}
+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 dash_length.
+############################################################
+ \frame ::frame::
+############################################################
+\frame{...}
+The \frame command 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 ::framebox::
+############################################################
+\framebox(width,height)[position]{...}
+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.
+############################################################
+ \line ::line::
+############################################################
+\line(x slope,y slope){length}
+The \line command draws a line of the specified length and
+slope.
+Note that LaTeX can only draw lines with slope = x/y, where
+x and y have integer values from -6 through 6.
+############################################################
+ \linethickness ::linethickness::
+############################################################
+\linethickness{dimension}
+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 and
+circles, or the quarter circles drawn by \oval to form the
+corners of an oval.
+############################################################
+ \makebox ::makebox::
+############################################################
+\makebox(width,height)[position]{...}
+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
+See section \makebox.
+############################################################
+ \multiput ::multiput::
+############################################################
+\multiput(x coord,y coord)(delta x,delta y){number of copies}{object}
+The \multiput command can be used when you are putting the
+same object in a regular pattern across a picture.
+############################################################
+ \oval ::oval::
+############################################################
+\oval(width,height)[portion]
+The \oval command produces a rectangle with rounded corners.
+The optional argument, [portion], allows you to select part
+of the oval.
+ t - Selects the top portion
+ b - Selects the bottom portion
+ r - Selects the right portion
+ l - Selects the left portion
+Note that 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 ::put::
+############################################################
+\put(x coord,y coord){ ... }
+The \put command places the item specified by the mandatory
+argument at the given coordinates.
+############################################################
+ \shortstack ::shortstack::
+############################################################
+\shortstack[position]{... \\ ... \\ ...}
+The \shortstack command produces a stack of objects. The
+valid positions are:
+ r - Moves the objects to the right of the stack
+ l - Moves the objects to the left of the stack
+ c - Moves the objects to the centre of the stack
+ (default)
+############################################################
+ \vector ::vector::
+############################################################
+\vector(x slope,y slope){length}
+The \vector command draws a line with an arrow of the
+specified length and slope. The x and y values must lie
+between -4 and +4, inclusive.
+
+############################################################
+ 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.
+############################################################
+ quote ::quote::
+############################################################
+ \begin{quote}
+ text
+ \end{quote}
+The margins of the quote 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.
+############################################################
+ 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
+enviroment:
+
+############################################################
+ \= ::=::
+############################################################
+Sets a tab stop at the current position.
+############################################################
+ \> ::>::
+############################################################
+Advances to the next tab stop.
+############################################################
+ \< ::<::
+############################################################
+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.
+############################################################
+ \+ ::+::
+############################################################
+Moves the left margin of the next and all the following
+commands one tab stop to the right.
+############################################################
+ \- ::-::
+############################################################
+Moves the left margin of the next and all the following
+commands one tab stop to the left.
+############################################################
+ \' ::'::
+############################################################
+Moves everything that you have typed so far in the current
+column, i.e. everything from the most recent \>, \<, \', \\,
+or \kill command, to the right of the previous column, flush
+against the current column's tab stop.
+############################################################
+ \` ::`::
+############################################################
+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 here's no tab stop there. The \`
+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 \> or \' command
+between the \` 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 \=, \+ or \-
+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.
+############################################################
+ \pushtabs
+############################################################
+Restores the tab stop positions saved by the last \pushtabs.
+############################################################
+ \a ::a::
+############################################################
+In a tabbing environment, the commands \=, \' and \` 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}
+
+############################################################
+ 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 and article classes 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.
+############################################################
+ 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 ::cline::
+############################################################
+\cline{i-j}
+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 ::multicolumn::
+############################################################
+\multicolumn{cols}{pos}{text}
+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 for centred, l for
+flushleft, r for 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.

+ thebibliography ::thebibliography::
+############################################################
+ \begin{thebibliography}{widest-label}
+ \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".
+
+ widest-label: 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.
+ Using BibTeX: Automatic generation of bibliographies.
+
+############################################################
+ \bibitem ::bibitem::
+############################################################
+\bibitem[label]{cite_key}
+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 cite_key is any
+sequence of letters, numbers, and punctuation symbols not
+containing a comma. This command writes an entry on the `.aux'
+file containing cite_key and the item's label. When this
+`.aux' file is read by the \begin{document} command, the
+item's label is associated with cite_key, causing the
+reference to cite_key by a \cite command to produce the
+associated label.
+############################################################
+ \cite ::cite::
+############################################################
+\cite[text]{key_list}
+The key_list argument is a list of citation keys. This command
+generates an in-text citation to the references associated
+with the keys in key_list 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{key_list}
+The \nocite command produces no text, but writes key_list,
+which is a list of one or more citation keys, on the `.aux'
+file.
+############################################################
+ Using BibTeX
+############################################################
+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} ::bibliographystyle::
+ \bibliography{bibfile} ::bibliography::
+
+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.
+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.
+############################################################
+ theorem ::theorem::
+############################################################
+
+ \begin{theorem}
+ theorem text
+ \end{theorem}
+
+The theorem environment produces "Theorem x" in boldface
+followed by your theorem text.
+############################################################
+ 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 (see section \maketitle)
+command to produce a standard title page.
+############################################################
+ 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: The macro form of the verbatim environment.
+
+############################################################
+ \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*| |'.
+############################################################
+ 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.
