It pays attention to the finer details of +sizing and positioning that mathematical publishers care about. The +aspects covered include multi-line displayed equations, equation +numbering, ellipsis dots, matrices, double accents, multi-line +subscripts, syntax checking (faster processing on initial +error-checking TeX runs), and other things. +<p/>As LaTeX increased in popularity, authors asked to submit papers to +the AMS in LaTeX, and so the AMS developed +AMSLaTeX, which is a +collection of LaTeX packages and classes that offer authors most of +the functionality of AMSTeX. +The AMS no longer recommends the use of AMSTeX, and urges +its users to use AMSLaTeX instead. + +<dl> +<dt><tt><i>AMSTeX distribution</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/amstex.zip">macros/amstex</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/amstex.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/amstex/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>AMSLaTeX distribution</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/amslatex.zip">macros/latex/required/amslatex</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/amslatex.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/amslatex/">browse</a>) +</dl> +<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=AMSpkg">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=AMSpkg</a> +</body> |
