The complete +documentation for this version of \*(TX can be found in the info file +or manual +.IR "Web2C: A TeX implementation" . +.PP +The \*(AX language is described in the book +.IR "The Joy of \*(OX" . +\*(AX is a \*(TX macro package, not a modification to the \*(TX source +program, so all the capabilities described in +.BR tex (1) +are present. +.PP +The \*(AX 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 +by specific markup instructions: ``emphasize'', ``start a section''. +.PP +\*(AX is the official typesetting system of the American Mathematical +Society, and nearly all of its publications are typeset using \*(AX. The +online version of AMS Math Reviews uses \*(AX input syntax for display of +mathematical material. AMS authors can provide editors with +computer-readable \*(AX files. +.PP +For authors more familiar with \*(LX, an AMS-supported package called +.I amsmath.sty +is is available. +.\"===================================================================== +.SH FILES +.TP +.I amsguide.tex" +Documentation for \*(AX, typesettable by \*(TX. +.TP +.I amfndoc.tex" +Documentation for AMS fonts, typesettable by \*(TX. +.\"===================================================================== +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR latex (1), +.BR tex (1), +.BR slitex (1). +.br +Michael Spivak, +.IR "The Joy of \*(OX" , +2nd edition, Addison-Wesley, 1990, ISBN 0-8218-2997-1. |
