+<h3>How to change LaTeX's "fixed names"</h3>
+<p>LaTeX document classes define several typographic operations that
+need 'canned text' (text not supplied by the user). In the earliest
+days of LaTeX 2.09 these bits of text were built in to the body of
+LaTeX's macros and were rather difficult to change, but "fixed
+name" macros were introduced for the benefit of those wishing to use
+LaTeX in languages other than English.
+For example, the special section produced by the <code>\</code><code>tableofcontents</code>
+command is always called <code>\</code><code>contentsname</code> (or rather, what
+<code>\</code><code>contentsname</code> is defined to mean).
+Changing the canned text is now one of the easiest customisations a
+user can do to LaTeX.
+<p>The canned text macros are all of the form
+<code>\</code><code>&lt;<i>thing</i>&gt;name</code>, and changing them is simplicity
+itself. Put:
+<blockquote>
+<code>\</code><code>renewcommand{<code>\</code><code>&lt;<i>thing</i>&gt;name</code>}{Res minor}</code>
+</blockquote>
+in the preamble of your document, and the job is done.
+(However, beware of the <i>babel</i> package, which requires you to
+use a different mechanism: be sure to check
+
+<a href="FAQ-latexwords.html">changing <i>babel</i> names</a> if
+you're using it.)
+<p>The names that are defined in the standard LaTeX classes (and the
+<i>makeidex</i> package) are listed
+below. Some of the names are only defined in a subset of the classes
+(and the <i>letter</i> class has a set of names all of its own);
+the list shows the specialisation of each name, where appropriate.
