<para>The &latex; document preparation system is implemented as a macro
package for Donald&#160;E. Knuth&#8217;s &tex; typesetting program.
&latex; was originally created by Leslie Lamport; it is now
maintained by a group of volunteers (<ulink url="http://latex-project.org">http://latex-project.org</ulink>).
The official documentation written by the &latex; project is

<para>&latex; typesets a file of text using the &tex; program and the
&latex; &#8220;macro package&#8221; for &tex;.  That is, it processes an input
file containing the text of a document with interspersed commands that
describe how the text should be formatted.  &latex; files are plain
text that can be written in any reasonable editor.  It produces at
least three files as output:
</para>
<orderedlist numeration="arabic"><listitem><para>The main output file, which is one of:
</para>
<variablelist><varlistentry><term><literal>.dvi</literal>
</term><listitem><indexterm role="fn"><primary>.dvi <lineannotation>file</lineannotation></primary></indexterm>
<indexterm role="fn"><primary>latex <lineannotation>command</lineannotation></primary></indexterm>
<para>If invoked as <command>latex</command>, a &#8220;Device Independent&#8221; (<filename>.dvi</filename>)
file is produced.  This contains commands that can be translated into
commands for virtually any output device.  You can view such
<filename>.dvi</filename> output of &latex; by using a program such as
<command>xdvi</command> (display directly), <command>dvips</command> (convert to
PostScript), or <command>dvipdfmx</command> (convert to PDF).
</para>

<para>If invoked as <command>pdflatex</command>, a &#8220;Portable Document Format&#8221;
(<filename>.pdf</filename>) file.  Typically, this is a self-contained file, with
all fonts and images embedded.  This can be very useful, but it does
make the output much larger than the <filename>.dvi</filename> produced from the
same document.
</para>

<indexterm role="cp"><primary>Lua&tex;</primary></indexterm>
<para>If invoked as <command>lualatex</command>, a <filename>.pdf</filename> file is created using

input file.
</para>
</listitem><listitem><indexterm role="cp"><primary>auxiliary file</primary></indexterm>
<indexterm role="fn"><primary>.aux <lineannotation>file</lineannotation></primary></indexterm>
<para>An &#8220;auxiliary&#8221; or <filename>.aux</filename> file. This is used by &latex; itself,
for things such as cross-references.
</para></listitem></orderedlist>
<para>An open-ended list of other files might be created.  We won&#8217;t try to
list them all.  Xxx components?

<indexterm role="fn"><primary>{...} <lineannotation>for required arguments</lineannotation></primary></indexterm>
<para>In the &latex; input file, a command name starts with a <literal>\</literal>,
followed by either (a)&#160;a string of letters or (b)&#160;a single
non-letter.  Arguments contained in square brackets, <literal>[]</literal>, are
optional while arguments contained in braces, <literal>{}</literal>, are
required.
</para>

<para>&latex; is case sensitive.  Enter all commands in lower case unless
explicitly directed to do otherwise.

<literal>\textbf</literal> (but not other styles; there are no italic old-style

<para>In addition to providing the heading <replaceable>title</replaceable> in the main text, the

<para>You may not want the same text in these places as in the main text.

</screen>
<para>The <literal>enumerate</literal> environment produces a numbered list.  Enumerations
can be nested within one another, up to four levels deep.  They can also
be nested within other paragraph-making environments, such as
<literal>itemize</literal> (see <link linkend="itemize">itemize</link>) and <literal>description</literal>
(see <link linkend="description">description</link>).
</para>
<indexterm role="fn"><primary>\item</primary></indexterm>
<para>Each item of an enumerated list begins with an <literal>\item</literal> command.
There must be at least one <literal>\item</literal> command within the environment.
</para>
<para>By default, the numbering at each level is done like this:
</para>
<orderedlist numeration="arabic"><listitem><para>1., 2., &#8230;
</para></listitem><listitem><para>(a), (b), &#8230;

<indexterm role="fn"><primary>\enumii</primary></indexterm>
<indexterm role="fn"><primary>\enumiii</primary></indexterm>
<indexterm role="fn"><primary>\enumiv</primary></indexterm>
<para>The <literal>enumerate</literal> environment uses the counters <literal>\enumi</literal>
through <literal>\enumiv</literal> counters (see <link linkend="Counters">Counters</link>).  If the optional
argument to <literal>\item</literal> is given, the counter is not incremented for
that item.

<indexterm role="fn"><primary>\labelenumiii</primary></indexterm>
<indexterm role="fn"><primary>\labelenumiv</primary></indexterm>
<para>The <literal>enumerate</literal> environment uses the commands <literal>\labelenumi</literal>
through <literal>\labelenumiv</literal> to produce the default label.  So, you can
use <literal>\renewcommand</literal> to change the labels (see <link linkend="_005cnewcommand-_0026-_005crenewcommand">\newcommand &amp;

letters:

<para>The <literal>itemize</literal> environment produces an &#8220;unordered&#8221;, &#8220;bulleted&#8221;
list.  Itemizations can be nested within one another, up to four
levels deep.  They can also be nested within other paragraph-making
environments, such as <literal>enumerate</literal> (see <link linkend="enumerate">enumerate</link>).
</para>
<para>Each item of an <literal>itemize</literal> list begins with an <literal>\item</literal> command.

<para>The mandatory <replaceable>labeling</replaceable> argument specifies how items should be
labelled (unless the optional argument is supplied to <literal>\item</literal>).
This argument is a piece of text that is inserted in a box to form the

<para>The mandatory <replaceable>spacing</replaceable> argument contains commands to change the
spacing parameters for the list.  This argument will most often be
empty, i.e., <literal>{}</literal>, which leaves the default spacing.

other paragraph-making environments can be used inside a minipage.

<para>Footnotes in a <literal>minipage</literal> environment are handled in a way that is
particularly useful for putting footnotes in figures or tables.  A
<literal>\footnote</literal> or <literal>\footnotetext</literal> command puts the footnote at
the bottom of the minipage instead of at the bottom of the page, and it
uses the <literal>\mpfootnote</literal> counter instead of the ordinary
<literal>footnote</literal> counter (see <link linkend="Counters">Counters</link>).

<para>However, don&#8217;t put one minipage inside another if you are using

</screen>
<indexterm role="fn"><primary>\unitlength</primary></indexterm>
<para>The <literal>picture</literal> environment allows you to create just about any
kind of picture you want containing text, lines, arrows and circles.
You tell &latex; where to put things in the picture by specifying
their coordinates.  A coordinate is a number that may have a decimal
point and a minus sign&#8212;a number like <literal>5</literal>, <literal>0.3</literal> or
<literal>-3.1416</literal>.  A coordinate specifies a length in multiples of the
unit length <literal>\unitlength</literal>, so if <literal>\unitlength</literal> has been set
to <literal>1cm</literal>, then the coordinate 2.54 specifies a length of 2.54
centimeters.
</para>
<para>You should only change the value of <literal>\unitlength</literal>, using the
<literal>\setlength</literal> command, outside of a <literal>picture</literal> environment.
The default value is <literal>1pt</literal>.
</para>
<para>A position is a pair of coordinates, such as <literal>(2.4,-5)</literal>, specifying
the point with x-coordinate <literal>2.4</literal> and y-coordinate <literal>-5</literal>.
Coordinates are specified in the usual way with respect to an origin,
which is normally at the lower-left corner of the picture.  Note that
when a position appears as an argument, it is not enclosed in braces;
the parentheses serve to delimit the argument.
</para>
<para>The <literal>picture</literal> environment has one mandatory argument, which is a
<literal>position</literal>.  It specifies the size of the picture.  The environment
produces a rectangular box with width and height determined by this
argument&#8217;s x- and y-coordinates.
</para>
<para>The <literal>picture</literal> environment also has an optional <literal>position</literal>
argument, following the <literal>size</literal> argument, that can change the
origin.  (Unlike ordinary optional arguments, this argument is not
contained in square brackets.) The optional argument gives the
coordinates of the point at the lower-left corner of the picture
(thereby determining the origin).  For example, if <literal>\unitlength</literal>
has been set to <literal>1mm</literal>, the command
</para>
<screen>\begin{picture}(100,200)(10,20)
</screen>
<para>produces a picture of width 100 millimeters and height 200
millimeters, whose lower-left corner is the point (10,20) and whose
upper-right corner is therefore the point (110,220).  When you first
draw a picture, you typically omit the optional argument, leaving the
origin at the lower-left corner.  If you then want to modify your
picture by shifting everything, you can just add the appropriate
optional argument.
</para>
<para>The environment&#8217;s mandatory argument determines the nominal size of the
picture.  This need bear no relation to how large the picture really is;
&latex; will happily allow you to put things outside the picture, or even
off the page.  The picture&#8217;s nominal size is used by &latex; in determining
how much room to leave for it.
</para>
<para>Everything that appears in a picture is drawn by the <literal>\put</literal>
command. The command
</para>
<screen>\put (11.3,-.3){...}
</screen>
<para>puts the object specified by <literal>...</literal> in the
picture, with its reference point at coordinates <inlineequation><mathphrase>(11.3,-.3)</mathphrase></inlineequation>.
The reference points for various objects will be described below.
</para>
<indexterm role="fn"><primary>lR box</primary></indexterm>
<para>The <literal>\put</literal> command creates an <firstterm>LR box</firstterm>.  You can put anything
that can go in an <literal>\mbox</literal> (see <link linkend="_005cmbox">\mbox</link>) in the text argument of
the <literal>\put</literal> command.  When you do this, the reference point will
be the lower left corner of the box.

<para>When &latex; is processing your input text, it is always in one of three
modes:
</para>
<itemizedlist><listitem><para>Paragraph mode
</para></listitem><listitem><para>Math mode
</para></listitem><listitem><para>Left-to-right mode, called LR mode for short
</para></listitem></itemizedlist>
<para>&latex; changes mode only when it goes up or down a staircase to a
different level, though not all level changes produce mode changes.
Mode changes occur only when entering or leaving an environment, or when
&latex; is processing the argument of certain text-producing commands.
</para>
<para>&#8220;Paragraph mode&#8221; is the most common; it&#8217;s the one &latex; is in
when processing ordinary text.  In that mode, &latex; breaks your
text into lines and breaks the lines into pages.  &latex; is in
&#8220;math mode&#8221; when it&#8217;s generating a mathematical formula.  In &#8220;LR
mode&#8221;, as in paragraph mode, &latex; considers the output that it
produces to be a string of words with spaces between them.  However,
unlike paragraph mode, &latex; keeps going from left to right; it
never starts a new line in LR mode.  Even if you put a hundred words
into an <literal>\mbox</literal>, &latex; would keep typesetting them from left
to right inside a single box, and then complain because the resulting
box was too wide to fit on the line.
</para>
<para>&latex; is in LR mode when it starts making a box with an <literal>\mbox</literal>
command.  You can get it to enter a different mode inside the box - for
example, you can make it enter math mode to put a formula in the box.
There are also several text-producing commands and environments for
making a box that put &latex; in paragraph mode.  The box make by one of
these commands or environments will be called a <literal>parbox</literal>.  When
&latex; is in paragraph mode while making a box, it is said to be in
&#8220;inner paragraph mode&#8221;.  Its normal paragraph mode, which it starts out
in, is called &#8220;outer paragraph mode&#8221;.

<para>The <literal>\hspace</literal> command adds horizontal space.  The <replaceable>length</replaceable>

points, inches, etc.  It is a rubber length.  You can add both
negative and positive space with an <literal>\hspace</literal> command; adding

<para>The <literal>\fill</literal> parameter is the rubber length itself (technically,

<para>The <literal>\makebox</literal> command creates a box just wide enough to contain
the <replaceable>text</replaceable> specified.  The width of the box is specified by the
optional <replaceable>width</replaceable> argument.  The position of the text within the box
is determined by the optional <replaceable>position</replaceable> argument, which may take
the following values:

<para>The <literal>\parbox</literal> command produces a box whose contents are created
in <literal>paragraph</literal> mode.  It should be used to make a box small
pieces of text, with nothing fancy inside.  In particular, you
shouldn&#8217;t use any paragraph-making environments inside a
<literal>\parbox</literal> argument.  For larger pieces of text, including ones
containing a paragraph-making environment, you should use a
<literal>minipage</literal> environment (see <link linkend="minipage">minipage</link>).
</para>
<para><literal>\parbox</literal> has two mandatory arguments:

<para>The optional <replaceable>position</replaceable> argument allows you to align either the

text (default is top).
</para>
<para>The optional <replaceable>height</replaceable> argument overrides the natural height of the box.
</para>
<para>The <replaceable>inner-pos</replaceable> argument controls the placement of the text inside

special meaning do not correspond to simple characters you can type.

<title>Reserved characters</title>
<indexterm role="cp"><primary>reserved characters</primary></indexterm>
<indexterm role="cp"><primary>characters, reserved</primary></indexterm>

<para>The following characters play a special role in &latex; and are called
&#8220;reserved characters&#8221; or &#8220;special characters&#8221;.
</para>
<screen># $ % &amp; ~ _ ^ \ { }

<indexterm role="fn"><primary>\#</primary></indexterm>

<indexterm role="fn"><primary>\_</primary></indexterm>
<indexterm role="fn"><primary>\{</primary></indexterm>
<indexterm role="fn"><primary>\}</primary></indexterm>
<para>Whenever you write one of these characters into your file, &latex;
will do something special.  If you simply want the character to be
printed as itself, include a <literal>\</literal> in front of the character.  For
example, <literal>\$</literal> will produce <literal>$</literal> in your output.
</para>
<indexterm role="fn"><primary>\backslash</primary></indexterm>
<para>One exception to this rule is <literal>\</literal> itself, because <literal>\\</literal> has
its own special (context-dependent) meaning.  A roman \ is produced by
typing <literal>$\backslash$</literal> in your file, and a typewriter <literal>\</literal> is
produced by using &#8216;<literal>\</literal>&#8217; in a verbatim command (see <link linkend="verbatim">verbatim</link>).
</para>
<indexterm role="fn"><primary>\~</primary></indexterm>
<indexterm role="fn"><primary>\^</primary></indexterm>
<para>Also, <literal>\~</literal> and <literal>\^</literal> place tilde and circumflex accents over
the following letter, as in &#245; and &#244; (see <link linkend="Accents">Accents</link>); to get
a standalone <literal>~</literal> or <literal>^</literal>, you can again use a verbatim
command.
</para>
<indexterm role="fn"><primary>\symbol</primary></indexterm>
<indexterm role="cp"><primary>accessing any character of a font</primary></indexterm>

<para>Finally, you can access any character of the current font once you
know its number by using the <literal>\symbol</literal> command. For example, the
visible space character used in the <literal>\verb*</literal> command has the code
decimal 32, so it can be typed as <literal>\symbol{32}</literal>.
</para>
<para>You can also specify octal numbers with <literal>'</literal> or hexadecimal numbers
with <literal>&quot;</literal>, so the previous example could also be written as
<literal>\symbol{'40}</literal> or <literal>\symbol{&quot;20}</literal>.

<indexterm role="cp"><primary>creating letters</primary></indexterm>

<para>You can use &latex; to typeset letters, both personal and business.  The
<literal>letter</literal> document class is designed to make a number of letters at
once, although you can make just one if you so desire.
</para>
<para>Your <filename>.tex</filename> source file has the same minimum commands as the other
document classes, i.e., you must have the following commands as a
minimum:
</para>
<screen> \documentclass{letter}
 \begin{document}
  ... letters ...
 \end{document}
</screen>
<para>Each letter is a <literal>letter</literal> environment, whose argument is the name
and address of the recipient.  For example, you might have:
</para>
<screen> \begin{letter}{Mr. Joe Smith\\ 2345 Princess St.
      \\ Edinburgh, EH1 1AA}
   ...
 \end{letter}
</screen>
<para>The letter itself begins with the <literal>\opening</literal> command.  The text of
the letter follows.  It is typed as ordinary &latex; input.  Commands that
make no sense in a letter, like <literal>\chapter</literal>, do not work.  The letter
closes with a <literal>\closing</literal> command.
</para>
<indexterm role="fn"><primary>\\ <lineannotation>for letters</lineannotation></primary></indexterm>
<para>After the <literal>closing</literal>, you can have additional material.  The
<literal>\cc</literal> command produces the usual &#8220;cc: &#8230;&#8221;.  There&#8217;s also a
similar <literal>\encl</literal> command for a list of enclosures. With both these
commands, use <literal>\\</literal> to separate the items.
</para>
<para>These commands are used with the <literal>letter</literal> class.
</para>


<sect1 label="25.1" id="_005caddress">
<title>\address{<replaceable>return-address}</replaceable></title>
<indexterm role="fn"><primary>\address</primary></indexterm>

<para>The <literal>\address</literal> specifies the return address of a letter, as it
should appear on the letter and the envelope.  Separate lines of the
address should be separated by <literal>\\</literal> commands.
</para>
<para>If you do not make an <literal>\address</literal> declaration, then the letter
will be formatted for copying onto your organisation&#8217;s standard
letterhead.  (See <link linkend="Overview">Overview</link>, for details on your local
implementation).  If you give an <literal>\address</literal> declaration, then the
letter will be formatted as a personal letter.

processed as if it had been included in the input file in place of the

</para>
<para>&latex;&#8217;s usual rules for treating multiple spaces as a single space
and ignoring spaces after a command name apply to <literal>msg</literal>.  A
<literal>\space</literal> command in <literal>msg</literal> causes a single space to be
printed, independent of surrounding spaces.  A <literal>^^J</literal> in
<literal>msg</literal> prints a newline.

<para>The input file specification indicates the file to be formatted;

We recommend the graphicx package for image inclusions, and the
hyperref package for active url's (in the \acro{PDF} output).
Nowadays \TUB\ is produced using \acro{PDF} files exclusively.

The \texttt{ltugboat} class provides these abbreviations and many more:
