<p/> TDS stands for the TeX Directory Structure, which is a standard
way of organising all the TeX-related files on a computer system.
<p/> Most modern distributions conform to the TDS, which
-provides for both a &lsquo;standard&rsquo; and a (set of) &lsquo;local&rsquo; hierarchies of
-directories containing TeX-related files. The
-TDS reserves the name <code>texmf</code> as the name of the root directory
-(folder) of the hierarchies. Files supplied as part of the
-distribution are put into the standard hierarchy. The location of the
-standard hierarchy is system dependent, but on a Unix system it might
-be at
-<i>/usr/local/texmf</i>, or
-<i>/usr/local/share/texmf</i>, or

+trees containing TeX-related files. The TDS reserves the
+name <code>texmf</code> as the name of the root directory (folder) of the
+hierarchies, and most distributions use that name for their &lsquo;own&rsquo;
+trees. Files supplied as part of the distribution are put into the
+distribution&rsquo;s tree. The location of the distribution&rsquo;s hierarchy is
+system dependent, but on a Unix system it might be at
+<i>/usr/share/texmf</i> or
<i>/opt/texmf</i>, or
-a similar location, but in each case the TeX files will be under the
-<i>/texmf</i> subdirectory.
-<p/>There may be more than on &lsquo;local&rsquo; hierarchy in which additional files
-can be stored. In the extreme an installation can have a local
-hierarchy and each user can also have an individual local hierarchy. The
-location of any local hierarchy is not only system dependent but also user
-dependent. Again, though, all files should be put under a local <i>/texmf</i>
-directory.
-<p/>The TDS is published as the output of a TUG
