+<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label latex</title>
+</head><body>
+<h3>What is LaTeX?</h3>
+<p/>LaTeX is a TeX macro package, originally written by Leslie Lamport, that
+provides a document processing system. LaTeX allows markup to
+describe the structure of a document, so that the user
+need not think about presentation. By using document classes and
+add-on packages, the same document can be produced in a variety of
+different layouts.
+<p/>Lamport says that LaTeX
+&ldquo;<em>represents a balance between functionality and ease of use</em>&rdquo;.
+This shows itself as a continual conflict that leads to
+the need for such things as FAQs: LaTeX <em>can</em>
+meet most user requirements, but finding out <em>how</em> is often
+tricky.
