-<h3>Learning to write LaTeX classes and packages</h3>
-<p/>There&#8217;s nothing particularly magic about the commands you use when
-writing a package, so you can simply bundle up a set of LaTeX
-<code>\</code><code>(re)newcommand</code> and <code>\</code><code>(re)newenvironment</code> commands, put them in
-a file <i>package.sty</i> and you have a package.
-<p/>However, any but the most trivial package will require rather more
-sophistication. Some details of LaTeX commands for the job are to
-be found in &#8216;LaTeX2e for class and package writers&#8217;
-(<i>clsguide</i>, part of the LaTeX documentation distribution).
-Beyond this, a good knowledge of TeX itself is valuable: thus books
-such as the <a href="FAQ-books.html">TeXbook</a> or
-<a href="FAQ-ol-books.html">TeX by topic</a> are relevant. With good TeX
-knowledge it is possible to use the documented source of LaTeX as
-reference material (dedicated authors will acquaint themselves with the
-source as a matter of course). A complete set of the documented
-source of LaTeX may be prepared by processing the file
-<i>source2e.tex</i> in the LaTeX distribution. Such processing is
-noticeably tedious, but Heiko Oberdiek has prepared a well-linked
-PDF version, which is in the file <i>base.tds.zip</i> of his
-<i>latex-tds</i> distribution. Individual files in the LaTeX
-distribution may be processed separately with LaTeX, like any
-well-constructed <a href="FAQ-dtx.html"><code>.dtx</code> file</a>.
-<p/>Writing good classes is not easy; it&#8217;s a good idea to read some
-established ones (<i>classes.dtx</i>, for example, is the documented
-source of the standard classes other than <i>Letter</i>, and may
-itself be formatted with LaTeX). Classes that are not part of the
-distribution are commonly based on ones that are, and start by loading
-the standard class with <code>\</code><code>LoadClass</code> &#8212; an example of this
-technique may be seen in <i>ltxguide.cls</i>
-<p/>An
-<a href="http://tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb28-1/tb88flynn.pdf">annotated version of <i>article</a></i>,
-as it appears in <i>classes.dtx</i>, was published in
-<i>TUGboat</i> 28(1). The article, by Peter Flynn, which is some help in
-understanding <i>classes.dtx</i>
