.SH SYNOPSIS
.B lamstex
[ first-line ]
.\"=====================================================================
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \*(LZ language is described in the book
.IR "\*(OZ: The Synthesis" .
\*(LZ is a new system that augments \*(AX with \*(LX-like features,
but retains the syntactical flavor of \*(AX.  It can be compared with
\*(AY, which augments \*(LX with \*(AX-like features.
.PP
\*(LZ 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 \*(LZ macros encourage writers to think about the content of their
documents, rather than the form.  The ideal, not always realized, 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''.
