-<h3>What are LaTeX classes and packages?</h3>
-<p/>Current LaTeX makes a distinction between the macros that define the
-overall layout of a document, and the macros that tweak that layout
-(to one extent or another) to provide what the author <em>really</em>
-wants.
-<p/>The distinction was not very clear in LaTeX 2.09, and after some
-discussion (in the later stages of development of current LaTeX)
-the names &#8220;class&#8221; and &#8220;package&#8221; were applied to the two concepts.
-<p/>The idea is that a document&#8217;s <em>class</em> tells LaTeX what sort of
-document it&#8217;s dealing with, while the <em>packages</em> the document
-loads &#8220;refine&#8221; that overall specification.
-<p/>On the disc, the files only appear different by virtue of their name
-&#8220;extension&#8221; &#8212; class files are called <code>*.cls</code> while package
-files are called <code>*.sty</code>. Thus we find that the LaTeX
-standard <i>article</i> class is represented on disc by a file called
-<i>article.cls</i>, while the <i>footmisc</i> package (which
-refines <i>article</i>&#8217;s definition of footnotes) is represented on
-disc by a file called <i>footmisc.sty</i>.
-<p/>The user defines the class of his document with the
-<code>\</code><code>documentclass</code> command (typically the first command in a
-document), and loads packages with the <code>\</code><code>usepackage</code> command. A
-document may have several <code>\</code><code>usepackage</code> commands, but it may have
-only one <code>\</code><code>documentclass</code> command. (Note that there are
-programming-interface versions of both commands, since a class may
-choose to load another class to refine its capabilities, and both
-classes and packages may choose to load other packages.)
