The complete +documentation for this version of \*(TX can be found in the info file +or manual +.IR "Web2C: A TeX implementation" . +.PP +The \*(LX language is described in the book +.IR "\*(LX \- A Document Preparation System" . +\*(LX 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 \*(LX macros encourage writers to think about the content of their +documents, rather than the form. The ideal, very difficult to realize, 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 +The primary source of documentation for \*(LX is the \*(LX manual +referenced below, and the local guide in the file +.I local-guide.tex +or +.I local.tex +or some such. +.PP +.B elatex +is the e-\*(TX extended mode version of \*(LX format. +.PP +.B lambda +is the Omega version of the \*(LX format. +.PP +.B pdflatex +is the pdf\*(TX version of the \*(LX format. +.PP +On some systems +.B latex209 +and +.B slitex +are available for compatibility with older versions of \*(LX.
