@cindex @LaTeX{} overview
The @LaTeX{} command typesets a file of text using the @TeX{} program
and the @LaTeX{} ``macro package'' for @TeX{}. To be more specific,
it processes an input file containing the text of a document with
interspersed commands that describe how the text should be formatted.
It produces at least three files as output:
@enumerate
@item
A main output file, which is one of:
@enumerate
@item
If invoked as @command{latex}, a ``Device Independent'' (@file{.dvi})
file. This contains commands that can be translated into commands for
a variety of output devices. You can view such @file{.dvi} output of
@LaTeX{} by using a program such as @command{xdvi} (display directly)
or @command{dvips} (convert to PostScript).
@item
If invoked as @command{pdflatex}, a ``Portable Document Format''
(@file{.pdf}) 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 @file{.dvi} produced from the

There are other less-common variants of @LaTeX{} (and @TeX{}) as well,
which can produce HTML, XML, and other things.
@item
A ``transcript'' or @file{.log} file that contains summary information and

An ``auxiliary'' or @file{.aux} file. This is used by @LaTeX{} itself, for
things such as sectioning.
@end enumerate
A @LaTeX{} command begins with the command name, which consists of a
@code{\} followed by either (a)@tie{}a string of letters or (b)@tie{}a
single non-letter. Arguments contained in square brackets, @code{[]},
are optional while arguments contained in braces, @code{@{@}}, are

@item oneside
@itemx twoside
@findex \evensidemargin
@findex \oddsidemargin
Selects one- or two-sided layout; default is @code{oneside}, except
for the @code{book} class.
The @code{\evensidemargin} (@code{\oddsidemargin} parameter determines
the distance on even (odd) numbered pages between the left side of the
page and the text's left margin. The defaults vary with the paper
size and whether one- or two-side layout is selected. For one-sided
printing the text is centered, for two-sided, @code{\oddsidemargin} is
40% of the difference between @code{\paperwidth} and @code{\textwidth}

@node Typefaces
@chapter Typefaces
@cindex typefaces
@cindex fonts
Two important aspects of selecting a @dfn{font} are specifying a size
and a style. The @LaTeX{} commands for doing this are described here.
@menu
* Font styles:: Select roman, italics etc.
* Font sizes:: Select point size.
* Low-level font commands:: Select encoding, family, series, shape.
@end menu
@node Font styles
@section Font styles
@cindex font styles
@cindex typeface styles
@cindex styles of text
The following type style commands are supported by @LaTeX{}.
These commands are used like @code{\textit@{italic text@}}. The
corresponding command in parenthesis is the ``declaration form'', which
takes no arguments. The scope of the declaration form lasts until the
next type style command or the end of the current group.
The declaration forms are cumulative; i.e., you can say either
@code{\sffamily\bfseries} or @code{\bfseries\sffamily} to get bold
sans serif.
You can also use the environment form of the declaration forms; for instance,
@code{\begin@{ttfamily@}...\end@{ttfamily@}}.
@table @code
@item \textrm (\rmfamily)
@findex \textrm
@findex \rmfamily
Roman.
@item \textit (\itshape)
@findex \textit
@findex \itshape

@item \emph
@findex \emph
@cindex emphasis
Emphasis (switches between @code{\textit} and @code{\textrm}).
@item \textmd (\mdseries)

@end table
In addition, the command
@code{\mathversion@{bold@}}
@findex \mathversion
can be used for switching to bold letters and symbols in
formulas. @code{\mathversion@{normal@}} restores the default.
@LaTeX{} also provides these commands, which unconditionally switch to
the given style, that is, are @emph{not} cumulative. They are used
differently than the above commands, too: @code{@{\@var{cmd} ...@}}
instead of @code{\@var{cmd}@{...@}}. These are two very different
things.
@ftable @code
@item \bf
@cindex bold font

@cindex font commands, low-level
These commands are primarily intended for writers of macros and
packages. The commands listed here are only a subset of the available
ones.
@table @code
@item \fontencoding@{enc@}
@findex \fontencoding
Select font encoding. Valid encodings include @code{OT1} and @code{T1}.
@item \fontfamily@{family@}
@findex \fontfamily
Select font family. Valid families include:
@itemize @bullet
@item @code{cmr} for Computer Modern Roman
@item @code{cmss} for Computer Modern Sans Serif
@item @code{cmtt} for Computer Modern Typewriter
@end itemize
and numerous others.
@item \fontseries@{series@}
@findex \fontseries
Select font series. Valid series include:
@itemize @bullet
@item @code{m} Medium (normal)
@item @code{b} Bold
@item @code{c} Condensed
@item @code{bc} Bold condensed
@item @code{bx} Bold extended
@end itemize
and various other combinations.
@item \fontshape@{shape@}
@findex \fontshape
Select font shape. Valid shapes are:
@itemize @bullet
@item @code{n} Upright (normal)
@item @code{it} Italic
@item @code{sl} Slanted (oblique)
@item @code{sc} Small caps
@item @code{ui} Upright italics
@item @code{ol} Outline
@end itemize
The two last shapes are not available for most font families.
@item \fontsize@{size@}@{skip@}
@findex \fontsize
@findex \baselineskip
Set font size. The first parameter is the font size to switch to and
the second is the line spacing to use; this is stored in a parameter
named @code{\baselineskip}. The unit of both parameters defaults to
pt. The default @code{\baselineskip} for the Computer Modern typeface
is 1.2 times the @code{\fontsize}.
@findex \baselinestretch
@cindex @code{setspace} package
@cindex double spacing
The line spacing is also multiplied by the value of the
@code{\baselinestretch} parameter when the type size changes; the
default is 1. However, the best way to ``double space'' a document,
if you should be unlucky enough to have to produce such, is to use the
@code{setspace} package; see
@url{http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=linespace}.
@findex \linespread
@item \linespread@{@var{factor}@}
Equivalent to
@code{\renewcommand@{\baselinestretch@}@{@var{factor}@}}, and
therefore must be followed by @code{\selectfont} to have any effect.
Best specified in the preamble, or use the @code{setspace} package, as
described just above.
@findex \selectfont
The changes made by calling the font commands described above do
not come into effect until @code{\selectfont} is called.
@item \usefont@{enc@}@{family@}@{series@}@{shape@}
@findex \usefont
The same as invoking @code{\fontencoding}, @code{\fontfamily},
@code{\fontseries} and @code{\fontshape} with the given parameters,
followed by @code{\selectfont}.

@end menu
@node \onecolumn
@section @code{\onecolumn}
@findex \onecolumn
@cindex one-column output
The @code{\onecolumn} declaration starts a new page and produces
single-column output. This is the default.
@node \twocolumn
@section @code{\twocolumn}
@findex \twocolumn
@cindex multicolumn text
@cindex two-column output
Synopsis:
@example
\twocolumn[@var{text1col}]
@end example
The @code{\twocolumn} declaration starts a new page and produces
two-column output. If the optional @var{text1col} argument is present,
it is typeset in one-column mode before the two-column typesetting
starts.
These parameters control typesetting in two-column output:
@ftable @code
@item \columnsep
The distance between columns (35pt by default).
@item \columnseprule
The width of the rule between columns; the default is 0pt, so there is no rule.
@item \columnwidth
The width of the current column; this is equal to @code{\textwidth} in
single-column text.
@end ftable
These parameters control float behavior in two-column output:
@ftable @code
@item \dbltopfraction
Maximum fraction at the top of a two-column page that may be occupied
by floats. Default @samp{.7}, can be usefully redefined to (say)
@samp{.9} to avoid going to float pages so soon.
@item \dblfloatpagefraction
The minimum fraction of a float page that must be occupied by floats,
for a two-column float page. Default @samp{.5}.
@item \dblfloatsep
Distance between floats at the top or bottom of a two-column float
page. Default @samp{12pt plus2pt minus2pt} for @samp{10pt} and
@samp{11pt} documents, @samp{14pt plus2pt minus4pt} for @samp{12pt}.
@item \dbltextfloatsep
Distance between a multi-column float at the top or bottom of a page
and the main text. Default @samp{20pt plus2pt minus4pt}.
@end ftable
@node \flushbottom
@section @code{\flushbottom}
@findex \flushbottom
The @code{\flushbottom} declaration makes all text pages the same
height, adding extra vertical space where necessary to fill out the
page.
This is the default if @code{twocolumn} mode is selected
(@pxref{Document class options}).
@node \raggedbottom
@section @code{\raggedbottom}
@findex \raggedbottom

@ftable @code
@item \headheight
Height of the box that contains the running head. Default is
@samp{30pt}, except in the @code{book} class, where it varies with the
type size.
@item \headsep
Vertical distance between the bottom of the header line and the top of
the main text. Default is @samp{25pt}, except in the @code{book}
class, where it varies with the type size.
@item \footskip
Distance from the baseline of the last line of text to the baseline of
the page footer. Default is @samp{30pt}, except in the @code{book}
class, where it varies with the type size.
@item \linewidth
Width of the current line; the default varies with the font size,
paper width, two-column mode, etc. For an @code{article} document in
@samp{10pt}, it's set to @samp{345pt}; in two-column mode, that
becomes @samp{229.5pt}.
@item \textheight
The normal vertical height of the page body; the default varies with
the font size, document class, etc. For an @code{article} or
@code{report} document in @samp{10pt}, it's set to
@samp{43\baselineskip}; for @code{book}, it's @samp{41\baselineskip}.
For @samp{11pt}, it's @samp{38\baselineskip} and for @samp{12pt},
@samp{36\baselineskip}.
@item \textwidth
The normal horizontal width of the page body; the default varies as
usual. For an @code{article} or @code{report} document, it's
@samp{345pt} at @samp{10pt}, @samp{360pt} at @samp{11pt}, and
@samp{390pt} at @samp{12pt}. For a @code{book} document, it's
@samp{4.5in} at @samp{10pt}, and @samp{5in} at @samp{11pt} or @samp{12pt}.
@item \topmargin
Space between the top of the @TeX{} page (one inch from the top of the
paper, by default) and the top of the header. The default is computed
based on many other parameters: @code{\paperheight @minus{} 2in @minus{}
\headheight @minus{} \headsep @minus{} \textheight @minus{} \footskip}, and
then divided by two.
@item \topskip
Minimum distance between the top of the page body and the baseline of
the first line of text. For the standard clases, the default is the
same as the font size, e.g., @samp{10pt} at @samp{10pt}.
@end ftable
@node Sectioning
@chapter Sectioning
@cindex sectioning
Sectioning commands provide the means to structure your text into units:
@ftable @code
@item \part
@item \chapter
(report and book class only)
@item \section
@item \subsection
@item \subsubsection
@item \paragraph
@item \subparagraph
@end ftable
All sectioning commands take the same general form, e.g.,
@example
\chapter[@var{toctitle}]@{@var{title}@}
@end example
In addition to providing the heading @var{title} in the main text, the
section title can appear in two other places:
@enumerate
@item
The table of contents.
@item
The running head at the top of the page.
@end enumerate
You may not want the same text in these places as in the main text.
To handle this, the sectioning commands have an optional argument
@var{toctitle} that, when given, specifies the text for these other
places.
@cindex *-form of sectioning commands
Also, all sectioning commands have @code{*}-forms that print
@var{title} as usual, but do not include a number and do not make an
entry in the table of contents. For instance:
@example
\section*@{Preamble@}
@end example
@findex \appendix
@cindex appendix, creating
The @code{\appendix} command changes the way following sectional units
are numbered. The @code{\appendix} command itself generates no text
and does not affect the numbering of parts. The normal use of this
command is something like
@example
\chapter@{A Chapter@}
@dots{}
\appendix
\chapter@{The First Appendix@}
@end example
@findex secnumdepth @r{counter}
@cindex section numbers, printing
The @code{secnumdepth} counter controls printing of section numbers.
The setting
@example
\setcounter@{secnumdepth@}@{@var{level}@}
@end example
@noindent
suppresses heading numbers at any depth @math{> @var{level}}, where
@code{chapter} is level zero. (@xref{\setcounter}.)
@node Cross references
@chapter Cross references
@cindex cross references
One reason for numbering things like figures and equations is to refer
the reader to them, as in ``See Figure 3 for more details.''
@menu
* \label:: Assign a symbolic name to a piece of text.
* \pageref:: Refer to a page number.
* \ref:: Refer to a section, figure or similar.
@end menu
@node \label
@section @code{\label}
@findex \label
Synopsis:
@example
\label@{@var{key}@}
@end example
A @code{\label} command appearing in ordinary text assigns to
@var{key} the number of the current sectional unit; one appearing
inside a numbered environment assigns that number to @var{key}.
A @var{key} name can consist of any sequence of letters, digits, or
punctuation characters. Upper and lowercase letters are distinguished.
To avoid accidentally creating two labels with the same name, it is
common to use labels consisting of a prefix and a suffix separated by
a colon or period. Some conventionally-used prefixes:
@table @code
@item ch
for chapters
@item sec
for lower-level sectioning commands
@item fig
for figures
@item tab
for tables
@item eq
for equations
@end table
Thus, a label for a figure would look like @code{fig:snark} or
@code{fig.snark}.
@node \pageref

@findex \pageref
@cindex cross referencing with page number
@cindex page number, cross referencing
Synopsis:

\pageref@{@var{key}@}
@end example
The @code{\pageref}@{@var{key}@} command produces the page number of
the place in the text where the corresponding
@code{\label}@{@var{key}@} command appears.
@node \ref
@section @code{\ref@{@var{key}@}}
@findex \ref
@cindex cross referencing, symbolic
@cindex section number, cross referencing
@cindex equation number, cross referencing
@cindex figure number, cross referencing
@cindex footnote number, cross referencing
Synopsis:
@example
\ref@{@var{key}@}
@end example
The @code{\ref} command produces the number of the sectional unit,
equation, footnote, figure, @dots{}, of the corresponding
@code{\label} command (@pxref{\label}). It does not produce any text,
such as the word `Section' or `Figure', just the bare number itself.

\end@{array@}
@end example
Math arrays are produced with the @code{array} environment, normally
within an @code{equation} environment (@pxref{equation}). It has a
single mandatory @var{template} argument describing the number of
columns and the alignment within them. Each column @var{col} is
specified by a single letter that tells how items in that row should
be formatted, as follows:
@table @code
@item c
centered
@item l
flush left
@item r
flush right
@end table
@findex \\ (for @code{array})
Column entries are separated by @code{&}. Column entries may include
other @LaTeX{} commands. Each row of the array is terminated with
@code{\\}.
@findex @@@{...@}

@cindex centering text, declaration for
The @code{\centering} declaration corresponds to the @code{center}
environment. This declaration can be used inside an environment such
as @code{quote} or in a @code{parbox}. Thus, the text of a figure or
table can be centered on the page by putting a @code{\centering}
command at the beginning of the figure or table environment.
Unlike the @code{center} environment, the @code{\centering} command
does not start a new paragraph; it simply changes how @LaTeX{} formats
paragraph units. To affect a paragraph unit's format, the scope of
the declaration must contain the blank line or @code{\end} command (of
an environment such as quote) that ends the paragraph unit.

Another variation: since the bold style is applied to the labels, if
you typeset a label in typewriter using @code{\texttt}, you'll get
bold typewriter: @code{\item[\texttt@{bold and typewriter@}]}. This
may be too bold, among other issues. To get just typewriter, use
@code{\tt}, which resets all other style variations: @code{\item[@{\tt

@end example
The @code{enumerate} 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
@code{itemize} (@pxref{itemize}) and @code{description}
(@pxref{description}).
@findex \item
Each item of an enumerated list begins with an @code{\item} command.
There must be at least one @code{\item} command within the environment.
By default, the numbering at each level is done like this:
@enumerate
@item 1., 2., @dots{}
@item (a), (b), @dots{}
@item i., ii., @dots{}
@item A., B., @dots{}
@end enumerate
@findex \enumi
@findex \enumii
@findex \enumiii
@findex \enumiv
The @code{enumerate} environment uses the counters @code{\enumi}
through @code{\enumiv} counters (@pxref{Counters}). If the optional
argument to @code{\item} is given, the counter is not incremented for
that item.
@findex \labelenumi
@findex \labelenumii
@findex \labelenumiii
@findex \labelenumiv
The @code{enumerate} environment uses the commands @code{\labelenumi}
through @code{\labelenumiv} to produce the default label. So, you can
use @code{\renewcommand} to change the labels (@pxref{\newcommand &
\renewcommand}). For instance, to have the first level use uppercase
letters:
@findex \Alph @r{example}

@findex \\* (for @code{eqnarray})
@code{\\*} can also be used to separate equations, with its normal
meaning of not allowing a page break at that line.

omit equation numbering entirely, while otherwise being the same as
@code{eqnarray}.

@end example
Figures are objects that are not part of the normal text, and are
instead ``floated'' to a convenient place, such as the top of a page.
Figures will not be split between two pages.
When typesetting in double-columns, the starred form produces a
full-width figure (across both columns).
The optional argument @code{[placement]} determines where @LaTeX{} will try
to place your figure. There are four places where @LaTeX{} can possibly
put a float:
@table @code
@item t
(Top)---at the top of a text page.
@item b
(Bottom)---at the bottom of a text page. However, @code{b} is not
allowed for full-width floats (@code{figure*}) with double-column
output. To ameliorate this, use the @code{stfloats} or
@code{dblfloatfix} package, but see the discussion at caveats in the
FAQ: @url{http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=2colfloat}.
@item h
@cindex @code{float} package
(Here)---at the position in the text where the figure environment
appears. However, this is not allowed by itself, @code{t} is
automatically added. To absolutely force a figure to appear ``here'',
use the @code{float} and use its @code{H} placement letter. (That
package also provides other options.)
@item p
(Page of floats)---on a separate float page, which is a page
containing no text, only floats.
@end table
The standard report and article classes use the default placement
@code{tbp}.
The body of the figure is made up of whatever text, @LaTeX{} commands, etc.
you wish.
@findex \caption
The @code{\caption} command specifies caption @var{text} for the
figure. The caption is numbered by default. If @var{loftitle} is
present, it is used in the list of figures instead of @var{text}
(@pxref{Tables of contents}).

@samp{12pt plus2pt minus2pt} for @samp{10pt} and @samp{11pt} styles,
@samp{14pt plus4pt minus4pt} for @samp{12pt}.
@item \textfloatsep

default @samp{20pt plus2pt minus4pt}.
@item \textfraction
Minimum fraction of a page that must be text; if floats take up too
much space to preserve this much text, floats will be moved to a
different page. The default is @samp{.2}.

@end example
The @code{itemize} environment produces an ``unordered'', ``bulleted''
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 @code{enumerate} (@pxref{enumerate}).
Each item of an @code{itemize} list begins with an @code{\item} command.
There must be at least one @code{\item} command within the environment.
By default, the marks at each level look like this:
@enumerate
@item @bullet{} (bullet)
@item @b{-@w{-}} (bold en-dash)
@item * (asterisk)
@iftex
@item @math{\cdot} (centered dot)
@end iftex

@end ifnottex
@end enumerate
@findex \labelitemi
@findex \labelitemii
@findex \labelitemiii
@findex \labelitemiv
The @code{itemize} environment uses the commands @code{\labelitemi}
through @code{\labelitemiv} to produce the default label. So, you can
use @code{\renewcommand} to change the labels. For instance, to have
the first level use diamonds:
@example
\renewcommand@{\labelitemi@}@{$\diamond$@}
@end example
@findex \leftmargin
@findex \leftmargini
@findex \leftmarginii
@findex \leftmarginiii
@findex \leftmarginiv
@findex \leftmarginv
@findex \leftmarginvi
The @code{\leftmargini} through @code{\leftmarginvi} parameters define
the distance between the left margin of the enclosing environment and
the left margin of the list. By convention, @code{\leftmargin} is set
to the appropriate @code{\leftmargin@var{N}} when a new level of
nesting is entered.
The defaults vary from @samp{.5em} (highest levels of nesting) to
@samp{2.5em} (first level), and are a bit reduced in two-column mode.
This example greatly reduces the margin space for outermost lists:
@example
\setlength@{\leftmargini@}@{1.25em@} % default 2.5em
@end example
@c xx should be in its own generic section
Some parameters that affect list formatting:
@ftable @code
@item \itemindent
Extra indentation before each item in a list; default zero.
@item \labelsep
Space between the label and text of an item; default @samp{.5em}.
@item \labelwidth
Width of the label; default @samp{2em}, or @samp{1.5em} in two-column mode.
@item \listparindent
Extra indentation added to second and subsequent paragraphs within a
list item; default @samp{0pt}.
@item \rightmargin
Horizontal distance between the right margin of the list and the
enclosing environment; default @samp{0pt}, except in the @code{quote},
@code{quotation}, and @code{verse} environments, where it is set equal
to @code{\leftmargin}.
@end ftable
Parameters affecting vertical spacing between list items (rather
loose, by default).
@ftable @code
@item \itemsep
Vertical space between items. The default is @code{2pt plus1pt
minus1pt} for @code{10pt} documents, @code{3pt plus2pt minus1pt} for
@code{11pt}, and @code{4.5pt plus2pt minus1pt} for @code{12pt}.
@item \parsep
Extra vertical space between paragraphs within a list item. Defaults
are the same as @code{\itemsep}.
@item \topsep
Vertical space between the first item and the preceding paragraph.
For top-level lists, the default is @code{8pt plus2pt minus4pt} for
@code{10pt} documents, @code{9pt plus3pt minus5pt} for @code{11pt},
and @code{10pt plus4pt minus6pt} for @code{12pt}. These are reduced
for nested lists.
@item \partopsep
Extra space added to @code{\topsep} when the list environment starts a
paragraph. The default is @code{2pt plus1pt minus1pt} for @code{10pt}
documents, @code{3pt plus1pt minus1pt} for @code{11pt}, and @code{3pt
plus2pt minus2pt} for @code{12pt}.

@cindex lists of items, generic
The @code{list} environment is a generic environment which is used for

@example
\begin@{list@}@{@var{labeling}@}@{@var{spacing}@}
\item @var{item1}
\item @var{item2}
...
\end@{list@}
@end example
The mandatory @var{labeling} argument specifies how items should be
labelled (unless the optional argument is supplied to @code{\item}).
This argument is a piece of text that is inserted in a box to form the
label. It can and usually does contain other @LaTeX{} commands.
The mandatory @var{spacing} argument contains commands to change the
spacing parameters for the list. This argument will most often be
empty, i.e., @code{@{@}}, which leaves the default spacing.

The @code{minipage} environment typesets its body @var{text} in a
block that will not be broken across pages. This is similar to the
@code{\parbox} command (@pxref{\parbox}), but unlike @code{\parbox},
other paragraph-making environments can be used inside a minipage.

The arguments are the same as for @code{\parbox} (@pxref{\parbox}).
@cindex indentation of paragraphs, in minipage
@cindex paragraph indentation, in minipage

@code{\setlength@{\parindent@}@{1pc@}} command.
@cindex footnotes in figures
@cindex figures, footnotes in
Footnotes in a @code{minipage} environment are handled in a way that is
particularly useful for putting footnotes in figures or tables. A
@code{\footnote} or @code{\footnotetext} command puts the footnote at
the bottom of the minipage instead of at the bottom of the page, and it
uses the @code{\mpfootnote} counter instead of the ordinary
@code{footnote} counter (@pxref{Counters}).
However, don't put one minipage inside another if you are using
footnotes; they may wind up at the bottom of the wrong minipage.

\end@{picture@}
@end example
@findex \unitlength
The @code{picture} 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---a number like @code{5}, @code{0.3} or
@code{-3.1416}. A coordinate specifies a length in multiples of the
unit length @code{\unitlength}, so if @code{\unitlength} has been set
to @code{1cm}, then the coordinate 2.54 specifies a length of 2.54
centimeters. You should only change the value of @code{\unitlength},
using the @code{\setlength} command, outside of a @code{picture}
environment.
A position is a pair of coordinates, such as @code{(2.4,-5)}, specifying
the point with x-coordinate @code{2.4} and y-coordinate @code{-5}.
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.
The @code{picture} environment has one mandatory argument, which is a
@code{position}. It specifies the size of the picture. The environment
produces a rectangular box with width and height determined by this
argument's x- and y-coordinates.
The @code{picture} environment also has an optional @code{position}
argument, following the @code{size} 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 @code{\unitlength}
has been set to @code{1mm}, the command
@example
\begin@{picture@}(100,200)(10,20)
@end example
@noindent 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.
The environment'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's nominal size is used by @LaTeX{} in determining
how much room to leave for it.
Everything that appears in a picture is drawn by the @code{\put}
command. The command
@example
\put (11.3,-.3)@{...@}
@end example
@noindent puts the object specified by @code{...} in the
picture, with its reference point at coordinates @math{(11.3,-.3)}.
The reference points for various objects will be described below.
@findex lR box
The @code{\put} command creates an @dfn{LR box}. You can put anything
that can go in an @code{\mbox} (@pxref{\mbox}) in the text argument of
the @code{\put} command. When you do this, the reference point will
be the lower left corner of the box.
The @code{picture} commands are described in the following sections.

slope @var{xslope}/@var{yslope}.
Standard @LaTeX{} can only draw lines with @math{@var{slope} = x/y},
where @math{x} and @math{y} have integer values from @minus{}6
through@tie{}6. For lines of any slope, not to mention other shapes,
see the @code{curve2e} and many many other packages on CTAN.
@node \linethickness
@subsection @code{\linethickness}
@findex \linethickness
The @code{\linethickness@{@var{dim}@}} command declares the thickness
of horizontal and vertical lines in a picture environment to be
@var{dim}, which must be a positive length.
@code{\linethickness} does not affect the thickness of slanted lines,
circles, or the quarter circles drawn by @code{\oval}.
@node \thicklines
@subsection @code{\thicklines}
@findex \thicklines
The @code{\thicklines} command is an alternate line thickness for
horizontal and vertical lines in a picture environment;

\multiput(@var{x},@var{y})(@var{delta_x},@var{delta_y})@{@var{n}@}@{@var{obj}@}
@end example
The @code{\multiput} command copies the object @var{obj} in a regular
pattern across a picture. @var{obj} is first placed at position
@math{(x,y)}, then at @math{(x+\delta x,y+\delta y)}, and so on,
@var{n} times.
@node \oval
@subsection @code{\oval}
@findex \oval
Synopsis:
@example
\oval(@var{width},@var{height})[@var{portion}]
@end example
The @code{\oval} command produces a rectangle with rounded corners.
The optional argument @var{portion} allows you to select part of the
oval via the following:
@table @code
@item t
selects the top portion;
@item b
selects the bottom portion;
@item r
selects the right portion;
@item l
selects the left portion.
@end table
The ``corners'' of the oval are made with quarter circles with a
maximum radius of 20@dmn{pt}, so large ``ovals'' will look more like
boxes with rounded corners.
@node \put

The @code{\shortstack} command produces a stack of objects. The valid
positions are:
@table @code
@item r
Move the objects to the right of the stack.
@item l
Move the objects to the left of the stack
@item c
Move the objects to the centre of the stack (default)

@findex tabbing @r{environment}
@cindex tab stops, using
@cindex lining text up in columns using tab stops
@cindex alignment via tabbing
Synopsis:
@example
\begin@{tabbing@}
@var{row1col1} \= @var{row1col2} \= @var{row1col3} \= @var{row1col4} \\
@var{row2col1} \> \> @var{row2col3} \\
...
\end@{tabbing@}
@end example
The @code{tabbing} environment provides a way to align text in
columns. It works by setting tab stops and tabbing to them much as
was done on an ordinary typewriter. It is best suited for cases where
the width of each column is constant and known in advance.
This environment can be broken across pages, unlike the @code{tabular}
environment.
The following commands can be used inside a @code{tabbing} enviroment:
@ftable @code
@item \\ @r{(tabbing)}
End a line.
@item \= @r{(tabbing)}
Sets a tab stop at the current position.
@item \> @r{(tabbing)}
@findex \>
Advances to the next tab stop.
@item \<
Put following text to the left of the local margin (without changing
the margin). Can only be used at the start of the line.
@item \+
Moves the left margin of the next and all the
following commands one tab stop to the right, beginning tabbed line if
necessary.
@item \-
Moves the left margin of the next and all the
following commands one tab stop to the left, beginning tabbed line if
necessary.
@item \' @r{(tabbing)}
Moves everything that you have typed so far in the
current column, i.e. everything from the most recent @code{\>},
@code{\<}, @code{\'}, @code{\\}, or @code{\kill} command, to the right
of the previous column, flush against the current column's tab stop.
@item \` @r{(tabbing)}
Allows you to put text flush right against any tab stop, including tab
stop@tie{}0. However, it can't move text to the right of the last column
because there's no tab stop there. The @code{\`} command moves all the
text that follows it, up to the @code{\\} or @code{\end@{tabbing@}}
command that ends the line, to the right margin of the tabbing
environment. There must be no @code{\>} or @code{\'} command between
the @code{\`} and the command that ends the line.
@item \a @r{(tabbing)}
@findex \a' @r{(acute accent in tabbing)}
@findex \a` @r{(grave accent in tabbing)}
@findex \a= @r{(macron accent in tabbing)}
In a @code{tabbing} environment, the commands @code{\=}, @code{\'} and
@code{\`} do not produce accents as usual (@pxref{Accents}). Instead,
the commands @code{\a=}, @code{\a'} and @code{\a`} are used.
@item \kill
Sets tab stops without producing text. Works just like @code{\\}
except that it throws away the current line instead of producing
output for it. The effect of any @code{\=}, @code{\+} or @code{\-}
commands in that line remain in effect.
@item \poptabs
@findex \poptabs
Restores the tab stop positions saved by the last @code{\pushtabs}.
@item \pushtabs
Saves all current tab stop positions. Useful for temporarily changing
tab stop positions in the middle of a @code{tabbing} environment.
@item \tabbingsep
Distance to left of tab stop moved by @code{\'}.
@end ftable
This example typesets a Pascal function in a traditional format:
@example
\begin@{tabbing@}
function \= fact(n : integer) : integer;\\
\> begin \= \+ \\
\> if \= n $>$ 1 then \+ \\
fact := n * fact(n-1) \- \\
else \+ \\
fact := 1; \-\- \\
end;\\

@end example
Tables are objects that are not part of the normal text, and are
usually ``floated'' to a convenient place, like the top of a page.
Tables will not be split between two pages.
The optional argument @code{[placement]} determines where @LaTeX{} will try
to place your table. There are four places where @LaTeX{} can possibly put
a float; these are the same as that used with the @code{figure}
environment, and described there (@pxref{figure}).
The standard @code{report} and @code{article} classes use the default
placement @code{[tbp]}.
The body of the table is made up of whatever text, @LaTeX{} commands, etc.,
you wish. The @code{\caption} command allows you to title your table.

@end example
or
@example
\begin@{tabular*@}@{width@}[pos]@{cols@}
column 1 entry & column 2 entry ... & column n entry \\
...
\end@{tabular*@}
@end example
These environments produce a box consisting of a sequence of rows of
items, aligned vertically in columns.
@findex \\ @r{for @code{tabular}}
@code{\\} must be used to specify the end of each row of the table,
except for the last, where it is optional---unless an @code{\hline}
command (to put a rule below the table) follows.
The mandatory and optional arguments consist of:
@table @code
@item width
Specifies the width of the @code{tabular*} environment. There must be
rubber space between columns that can stretch to fill out the specified
width.
@item pos
Specifies the vertical position; default is alignment on the centre of
the environment.
@table @code
@item t
align on top row
@item b
align on bottom row
@end table
@item cols
Specifies the column formatting. It consists of a sequence of the
following specifiers, corresponding to the sequence of columns and
intercolumn material.
@table @code
@item l
A column of left-aligned items.
@item r
A column of right-aligned items.
@item c
A column of centered items.
@item |
A vertical line the full height and depth of the environment.
@item @@@{@var{text}@}
This inserts @var{text} in every row. An @@-expression suppresses the
intercolumn space normally inserted between columns; any desired space
between the inserted text and the adjacent items must be included in
@var{text}. An @code{\extracolsep@{wd@}} command in an @@-expression
causes an extra space of width @code{wd} to appear to the left of all
subsequent columns, until countermanded by another @code{\extracolsep}
command. Unlike ordinary intercolumn space, this extra space is not
suppressed by an @@-expression. An @code{\extracolsep} command can be
used only in an @@-expression in the @code{cols} argument.
@item p@{@var{wd}@}
Produces a column with each item typeset in a parbox of width
@var{wd}, as if it were the argument of a
@code{\parbox[t]@{@var{wd}@}} command. However, a @code{\\} may not
appear in the item, except in the following situations:
@enumerate
@item
inside an environment like @code{minipage}, @code{array}, or @code{tabular}.
@item
inside an explicit @code{\parbox}.
@item
in the scope of a @code{\centering}, @code{\raggedright}, or @code{\raggedleft}
declaration. The latter declarations must appear inside braces or an
environment when used in a @code{p}-column element.
@end enumerate
@item *@{@var{num}@}@{@var{cols}@}
Equivalent to @var{num} copies of @var{cols}, where @var{num} is a
positive integer and @var{cols} is any list of column-specifiers,
which may contain another @code{*-expression}.
@end table
@end table
Parameters that control formatting:
@c xx defaults, own node (xref from array)?
@ftable @code
@item \arrayrulewidth
Thickness of the rule created by @code{|}, @code{\hline}, and
@code{\vline} in the @code{tabular} and @code{array} environments; the
default is @samp{.4pt}.
@item \arraystretch
Scaling of spacing between rows in the @code{tabular} and @code{array}
environments; default is @samp{1}, for no scaling.
@item \doublerulesep
Horizontal distance between the vertical rules produced by @code{||}
in the @code{tabular} and @code{array} environments; default is @samp{2pt}.
@item \tabcolsep
Half the width of the space between columns; default is @samp{6pt}.
@end ftable
These commands can be used inside a @code{tabular} environment:
@menu

@node \multicolumn
@subsection @code{\multicolumn}
@findex \multicolumn
Synopsis:
@example
\multicolumn@{@var{cols}@}@{@var{pos}@}@{@var{text}@}
@end example
The @code{\multicolumn} command makes an entry that spans several
columns. The first mandatory argument, @var{cols}, specifies the
number of columns to span. The second mandatory argument, @var{pos},
specifies the formatting of the entry; @code{c} for centered, @code{l}
for flushleft, @code{r} for flushright. The third mandatory argument,
@var{text}, specifies what text to put in the entry.
Here's an example showing two columns separated by an en-dash;
@code{\multicolumn} is used for the heading:
@example
\begin@{tabular@}@{r@@@{--@}l@}
\multicolumn@{2@}@{c@}@{\bf Unicode@}\cr
0x80&0x7FF \cr
0x800&0xFFFF \cr

\end@{tabular@}
@end example
@node \cline
@subsection @code{\cline}
@findex \cline
Synopsis:
@example
\cline@{@var{i}-@var{j}@}
@end example
The @code{\cline} command draws horizontal lines across the columns
specified, beginning in column @var{i} and ending in column @var{j},
which are specified in the mandatory argument.
@node \hline
@subsection @code{\hline}
@findex \hline
The @code{\hline} command draws a horizontal line the width of the
enclosing @code{tabular} or @code{array} environment. It's most
commonly used to draw a line at the top, bottom, and between the rows
of a table.
@node \vline
@subsection @code{\vline}
@findex \vline
The @code{\vline} command will draw a vertical line extending the full
height and depth of its row. An @code{\hfill} command can be used to
move the line to the edge of the column. It can also be used in an
@@-expression.
@node thebibliography
@section @code{thebibliography}

Synopsis:
@example
\begin@{thebibliography@}@{@var{widest-label}@}
\bibitem[@var{label}]@{@var{cite_key@}}
...
\end@{thebibliography@}
@end example
The @code{thebibliography} environment produces a bibliography or
reference list.
In the @code{article} class, this reference list is labelled
``References''; in the @code{report} class, it is labelled
``Bibliography''. You can change the label (in the standard classes)
by redefining the command @code{\refname}. For instance, this
eliminates it entirely:
@example
\renewcommand@{\refname@}@{@}
@end example
The mandatory @var{widest-label} argument is text that, when typeset,
is as wide as the widest item label produced by the @code{\bibitem}
commands. It is typically given as @code{9} for bibliographies with
less than 10 references, @code{99} for ones with less than 100, etc.
@menu
* \bibitem:: Specify a bibliography item.
* \cite:: Refer to a bibliography item.
* \nocite:: Include an item in the bibliography.
* Using BibTeX:: Automatic generation of bibliographies.
@end menu
@node \bibitem
@subsection @code{\bibitem}
@findex \bibitem
Synopsis:
@example
\bibitem[@var{label}]@{@var{cite_key}@}
@end example
The @code{\bibitem} command generates an entry labelled by
@var{label}. If the @var{label} argument is missing, a number is
automatically generated using the @code{enumi} counter. The
@var{cite_key} is any sequence of letters, numbers, and punctuation
symbols not containing a comma.
This command writes an entry to the @file{.aux} file containing the
item's @var{cite_key} and label. When the @file{.aux} file is read by
the @code{\begin@{document@}} command, the item's @code{label} is
associated with @code{cite_key}, causing references to @var{cite_key}
with a @code{\cite} command (see next section) to produce the
associated label.
@node \cite
@subsection @code{\cite}
@findex \cite
Synopsis:
@example
\cite[@var{subcite}]@{@var{keys}
@end example
The @var{keys} argument is a list of one or more citation keys,
separated by commas. This command generates an in-text citation to
the references associated with @var{keys} by entries in the
@file{.aux} file.
The text of the optional @var{subcite} argument appears after the
citation. For example, @code{\cite[p.~314]@{knuth@}} might produce
`[Knuth, p.@tie{}314]'.
@node \nocite
@subsection @code{\nocite}
@findex \nocite
@code{\nocite@{key_list@}}
The @code{\nocite} command produces no text, but writes @code{key_list},
which is a list of one or more citation keys, on the @file{.aux} file.

If you use the Bib@TeX{} program by Oren Patashnik (highly
recommended if you need a bibliography of more than a couple of
titles) to maintain your bibliography, you don't use the
@code{thebibliography} environment (@pxref{thebibliography}). Instead,
you include the lines
@example
\bibliographystyle@{@var{bibstyle}@}
\bibliography@{@var{bibfile1},@var{bibfile2}@}
@end example
The @code{\bibliographystyle} command does not produce any output of
its own. Rather, it defines the style in which the bibliography will
be produced: @var{bibstyle} refers to a file
@var{bibstyle}@file{.bst}, which defines how your citations will look.
The standard @var{style} names distributed with Bib@TeX{} are:
@table @code
@item alpha
Sorted alphabetically. Labels are formed from name of author and year of
publication.
@item plain
Sorted alphabetically. Labels are numeric.
@item unsrt
Like @code{plain}, but entries are in order of citation.
@item abbrv
Like @code{plain}, but more compact labels.
@end table
In addition, numerous other Bib@TeX{} style files exist tailored to
the demands of various publications. See
@url{http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib}.
The @code{\bibliography} command is what actually produces the
bibliography. The argument to @code{\bibliography} refers to files
named @file{@var{bibfile}.bib}, which should contain your database in
Bib@TeX{} format. Only the entries referred to via @code{\cite} and
@code{\nocite} will be listed in the bibliography.

@cindex breaking lines
The first thing @LaTeX{} does when processing ordinary text is to
translate your input file into a sequence of glyphs and spaces. To
produce a printed document, this sequence must be broken into lines
(and these lines must be broken into pages).
@LaTeX{} usually does the line (and page) breaking for you, but in
some environments, you do the line breaking yourself with the
@code{\\} command, and you can always manually force breaks.

@cindex line break, forcing
The @code{\\} command tells @LaTeX{} to start a new line. It has an
optional argument, @var{morespace}, that specifies how much extra
vertical space is to be inserted before the next line. This can be a
negative amount.
The @code{\\*} command is the same as the ordinary @code{\\} command
except that it tells @LaTeX{} not to start a new page after the line.
@node \obeycr & \restorecr

The @code{\obeycr} command makes a return in the input file
(@samp{^^M}, internally) the same as @code{\\} (followed by
@code{\relax}). So each new line in the input will also be a new line
in the output.
@code{\restorecr} restores normal line-breaking behavior.

mode.
@node \- (hyphenation)
@section @code{\-} (discretionary hyphen)
@findex \- @r{(hyphenation)}
@cindex hyphenation, forcing
The @code{\-} command tells @LaTeX{} that it may hyphenate the word at
that point. @LaTeX{} is very good at hyphenating, and it will usually
find most of the correct hyphenation points, and almost never use an
incorrect one. The @code{\-} command is used for the exceptional
cases.
When you insert @code{\-} commands in a word, the word will only be
hyphenated at those points and not at any of the hyphenation points
that @LaTeX{} might otherwise have chosen.
@node \fussy
@section @code{\fussy}
@findex \fussy
The declaration @code{\fussy} (which is the default) makes @TeX{}
picky about line breaking. This usually avoids too much space between
words, at the cost of an occasional overfull box.
This command cancels the effect of a previous @code{\sloppy} command
(@pxref{\sloppy}.
@node \sloppy
@section @code{\sloppy}
The declaration @code{\sloppy} makes @TeX{} less fussy about line
breaking. This will avoid overfull boxes, at the cost of loose

@end example
By default, the @code{\linebreak} (@code{\nolinebreak}) command forces
(prevents) a line break at the current position. For
@code{\linebreak}, the spaces in the line are stretched out so that it

With the optional argument @var{priority}, you can convert the command
from a demand to a request. The @var{priority} must be a number from
0 to@tie{}4. The higher the number, the more insistent the request.

@cindex breaking pages
@LaTeX{} starts new pages asynchronously, when enough material has
accumulated to fill up a page. Usually this happens automatically,
but sometimes you may want to influence the breaks.
@menu
* \cleardoublepage:: Start a new right-hand page.
* \clearpage:: Start a new page.

@findex \cleardoublepage
@cindex starting on a right-hand page
The @code{\cleardoublepage} command ends the current page and causes all
figures and tables that have so far appeared in the input to be printed.
In a two-sided printing style, it also makes the next page a right-hand
(odd-numbered) page, producing a blank page if necessary.
@node \clearpage

@section @code{\enlargethispage}
@findex \enlargethispage
@cindex enlarge current page
@code{\enlargethispage@{size@}}
@code{\enlargethispage*@{size@}}
Enlarge the @code{\textheight} for the current page by the specified
amount; e.g. @code{\enlargethispage@{\baselineskip@}} will allow one
additional line.
The starred form tries to squeeze the material together on the page as
much as possible. This is normally used together with an explicit

@end example
By default, the @code{\pagebreak} (@code{\nopagebreak}) command forces
(prevents) a page break at the current position. For
@code{\linebreak}, the vertical space on the page is stretched out
where possible so that it extends to the normal bottom margin.
With the optional argument @var{priority}, you can convert the

Footnotes can be produced in one of two ways. They can be produced
with one command, the @code{\footnote} command. They can also be
produced with two commands, the @code{\footnotemark} and the
@code{\footnotetext} commands.

@findex \footnote
Synopsis:
@example
\footnote[@var{number}]@{@var{text}@}
@end example
The @code{\footnote} command places the numbered footnote @var{text}
at the bottom of the current page. The optional argument @var{number}
changes the default footnote number.
This command can only be used in outer paragraph mode; i.e., you
cannot use it in sectioning commands like @code{\chapter}, in figures,
tables or in a @code{tabular} environment. (See following sections.)
@c xx mention packages that fix this
@node \footnotemark
@section @code{\footnotemark}
@findex \footnotemark
With no optional argument, the @code{\footnotemark} command puts the
current footnote number in the text. This command can be used in
inner paragraph mode. You give the text of the footnote separately,
with the @code{\footnotetext} command.
This command can be used to produce several consecutive footnote
markers referring to the same footnote with
@example
\footnotemark[\value@{footnote@}]
@end example
@noindent
after the first @code{\footnote} command.
@node \footnotetext
@section @code{\footnotetext}
@findex \footnotetext
Synopsis:
@example
\footnotetext[@var{number}]@{@var{text}@}
@end example
The @code{\footnotetext} command places @var{text} at the bottom of
the page as a footnote. This command can come anywhere after the
@code{\footnotemark} command. The @code{\footnotetext} command must
appear in outer paragraph mode.
The optional argument @var{number} changes the default footnote number.
@node Symbolic footnotes
@section Symbolic footnotes
@cindex footnotes, symbolic instead of numbered
If you want to use symbols for footnotes, rather than increasing
numbers, redefine @code{\thefootnote} like this:
@example
\renewcommand@{\thefootnote@}@{\fnsymbol@{footnote@}@}

@findex \fnsymbol@r{, and footnotes}
@findex \@@fnsymbol
The @code{\fnsymbol} command produces a predefined series of symbols

use a different symbol as your footnote mark, you'll need to also
redefine @code{\@@fnsymbol}.

@code{0.4\columnwidth} long in the standard document classes (except
slides, where it does not appear).
@item \footnotesep
The height of the strut placed at the beginning of the footnote. By
default, this is set to the normal strut for @code{\footnotesize}
fonts (@pxref{Font sizes}), therefore there is no extra space between
footnotes. This is @samp{6.65pt} for @samp{10pt}, @samp{7.7pt} for

The @code{\marginpar} command creates a note in the margin. The first

where the @code{\marginpar} occurs.
When you only specify the mandatory argument @var{right}, the text
will be placed

@item
in the outside margin for two-sided layout;
@item
in the nearest margin for two-column layout.
@end itemize
@findex \reversemarginpar
@findex \normalmarginpar
The command @code{\reversemarginpar} places subsequent marginal notes
in the opposite (inside) margin. @code{\normalmarginpar} places them
in the default position.
When you specify both arguments, @var{left} is used for the left
margin, and @var{right} is used for the right margin.
The first word will normally not be hyphenated; you can enable
hyphenation there by beginning the node with @code{\hspace@{0pt@}}.
These parameters affect the formatting of the note:
@ftable @code
@item \marginparpush
Minimum vertical space between notes; default @samp{7pt} for
@samp{12pt} documents, @samp{5pt} else.
@item \marginparsep
Horizontal space between the main text and the note; default
@samp{11pt} for @samp{10pt} documents, @samp{10pt} else.
@item \marginparwidth
Width of the note itself; default for a one-sided @samp{10pt} document
is @samp{90pt}, @samp{83pt} for @samp{11pt}, and @samp{68pt} for
@samp{12pt}; @samp{17pt} more in each case for a two-sided document.
In two column mode, the default is @samp{48pt}.
@end ftable
The standard @LaTeX{} routine for marginal notes does not prevent
notes from falling off the bottom of the page.

To get an expression @i{exp} to appear as a subscript, you just type
@code{_@{}@i{exp}@code{@}}. To get @i{exp} to appear as a
superscript, you type @code{^@{}@i{exp}@code{@}}. @LaTeX{} handles
superscripted superscripts and all of that stuff in the natural way.
It even does the right thing when something has both a subscript and a
superscript.

@end tex
@end iftex
@item \left @var{delim1} ... \right @var{delim2}
@findex \right
@cindex null delimiter
The two delimiters need not match; @samp{.} acts as a null delimiter,
producing no output. The delimiters are sized according to the math
in between. Example: @code{\left( \sum_i=1^10 a_i \right]}.
@item \overbrace@{@var{text}@}
Generates a brace over @var{text}.
For example, @math{\overbrace{x+\cdots+x}^{k \rm\;times}}.
@item \overline@{@var{text}@}
Generates a horizontal line over @var{tex}.
For exampe, @math{\overline{x+y}}.
@item \sqrt[@var{root}]@{arg@}
Produces the representation of the square root of @var{arg}. The
optional argument @var{root} determines what root to produce. For
example, the cube root of @code{x+y} would be typed as
@code{$\sqrt[3]@{x+y@}$}.
@tex
In @TeX{}, the result looks like this:
$\root 3 \of x+y$.
@end tex
@item \stackrel@{@var{text}@}@{@var{relation}@}
Puts @var{text} above @var{relation}. For example,
@code{\stackrel@{f@}@{\longrightarrow@}}.
@tex
In @TeX{}, the result looks like this:
$\buildrel f \over \longrightarrow$.
@end tex
@item \underbrace@{math@}
Generates @var{math} with a brace underneath.
@tex
In @TeX{}, the result looks like this:
$\underbrace{x+y+z}_{>\,0}$.
@end tex
@item \underline@{text@}
Causes @var{text}, which may be either math mode or not, to be
underlined. The line is always below the text, taking account of
descenders.
@tex
In @TeX{}, the result looks like this:
$\underline{xyz}$
@end tex
@item \vdots
@findex \vdots
Produces a vertical ellipsis.
@tex
In @TeX{}, the result looks like this:
$\vdots$.
@end tex

@node Modes
@chapter Modes
@cindex modes
@cindex paragraph mode
@cindex math mode
@cindex left-to-right mode
@cindex lR mode
When @LaTeX{} is processing your input text, it is always in one of three
modes:
@itemize @bullet
@item
Paragraph mode
@item
Math mode
@item
Left-to-right mode, called LR mode for short
@end itemize
@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.
``Paragraph mode'' is the most common; it'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
``math mode'' when it's generating a mathematical formula. In ``LR
mode'', 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 @code{\mbox}, @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.
@LaTeX{} is in LR mode when it starts making a box with an @code{\mbox}
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 @code{parbox}. When
@LaTeX{} is in paragraph mode while making a box, it is said to be in
``inner paragraph mode''. Its normal paragraph mode, which it starts out
in, is called ``outer paragraph mode''.

@cindex titles, making
@findex \maketitle
The @code{\maketitle} command generates a title on a separate title
page---except in the @code{article} class, where the title is placed
at the top of the first page. Information used to produce the title
is obtained from the following declarations:
@ftable @code
@item \author@{@var{name} \and @var{name2}@}
@cindex author, for titlepage
@findex \\ @r{for @code{\author}}
@findex \and @r{for @code{\author}}
The @code{\author} command declares the document author(s), where the
argument is a list of authors separated by @code{\and} commands. Use
@code{\\} to separate lines within a single author's entry---for
example, to give the author's institution or address.
@item \date@{@var{text}@}
@cindex date, for titlepage
The @code{\date} command declares @var{text} to be the document's
date. With no @code{\date} command, the current date (@pxref{\today})
is used.
@item \thanks@{@var{text}@}
@cindex thanks, for titlepage
@cindex credit footnote
The @code{\thanks} command produces a @code{\footnote} to the title,
usually used for credit acknowledgements.
@item \title@{@var{text}@}
@cindex title, for titlepage
@findex \\ @r{for @code{\title}}
The @code{\title} command declares @var{text} to be the title of the
document. Use @code{\\} to force a line break, as usual.

@end example
The @code{\pagestyle} command specifies how the headers and footers
are typeset from the current page onwards. Values for @var{style}:
@table @code
@item plain
Just a plain page number.
@item empty
Empty headers and footers, e.g., no page numbers.
@item headings
Put running headers on each page. The document style specifies what
goes in the headers.
@item myheadings
Custom headers, specified via the @code{\markboth} or the
@code{\markright} commands.
@end table
Here are the descriptions of @code{\markboth} and @code{\markright}:
@ftable @code
@item \markboth@{@var{left}@}@{@var{right}@}
Sets both the left and the right heading. A ``left-hand heading''
(@var{left}) is generated by the last @code{\markboth} command before
the end of the page, while a ``right-hand heading'' (@var{right} is
generated by the first @code{\markboth} or @code{\markright} that
comes on the page if there is one, otherwise by the last one before
the page.
@item \markright@{@var{right}@}
Sets the right heading, leaving the left heading unchanged.
@end ftable
@node \thispagestyle
@section @code{\thispagestyle@{@var{style}@}}
@findex \thispagestyle
The @code{\thispagestyle} command works in the same manner as the
@code{\pagestyle} command (see previous section) except that it
changes to @var{style} for the current page only.
@node Spaces
@chapter Spaces
@cindex spaces
@LaTeX{} has many ways to produce white (or filled) space.
Another space-producing command is @code{\,} to produce a ``thin''
space (usually 1/6@dmn{quad}). It can be used in text mode, but is
more often useful in math mode (@pxref{Spacing in math mode}).
@menu
Horizontal space
* \hspace:: Fixed horizontal space.
* \hfill:: Stretchable horizontal space.
* \SPACE:: Normal interword space.
* \AT:: Ending a sentence.
* \thinspace:: One-sixth of an em.
* \/:: Per-character italic correction.
* \hrulefill:: Stretchable horizontal rule.
* \dotfill:: Stretchable horizontal dots.
Vertical space
* \addvspace:: Add arbitrary vertical space if needed.
* \bigskip \medskip \smallskip:: Fixed vertical spaces.
* \vfill:: Infinitely stretchable vertical space.
* \vspace:: Add arbitrary vertical space.
@end menu
@node \hspace
@section @code{\hspace}
@findex \hspace
Synopsis:
@example
\hspace[*]@{@var{length}@}
@end example
The @code{\hspace} command adds horizontal space. The @var{length}
argument can be expressed in any terms that @LaTeX{} understands:
points, inches, etc. It is a rubber length. You can add both
negative and positive space with an @code{\hspace} command; adding
negative space is like backspacing.
@LaTeX{} normally removes horizontal space that comes at the beginning
or end of a line. To preserve this space, use the optional @code{*}
form.
@node \hfill
@section @code{\hfill}
@findex \hfill
The @code{\hfill} fill command produces a ``rubber length'' which has
no natural space but can stretch or shrink horizontally as far as
needed.
@findex \fill
The @code{\fill} parameter is the rubber length itself (technically,
the glue value @samp{0pt plus1fill}); thus, @code{\hspace\fill} is
equivalent to @code{\hfill}.
@node \SPACE
@section @code{\SPACE}
@findex \SPACE
@findex \TAB
@findex \NEWLINE
The @code{\ } (space) command produces a normal interword space. It's
useful after punctuation which shouldn't end a sentence. For example
@code{Knuth's article in Proc.\ Amer.\ Math\. Soc.\ is fundamental}.
It is also often used after control sequences, as in @code{\TeX\ is a
nice system.}
In normal circumstances, @code{\}@key{tab} and @code{\}@key{newline}
are equivalent to @code{\ }.
@node \AT
@section @code{\@@}
@findex \@@
The @code{\@@} command makes the following punctuation character end a
sentence even if it normally would not. This is typically used after
a capital letter. Here are side-by-side examples with and without
@code{\@@}:
@example
@dots{} in C\@@. Pascal, though @dots{}
@dots{} in C. Pascal, though @dots{}
@end example
@noindent produces
@c Texinfo does it differently, but the result is the same.

@node \thinspace
@section @code{\thinspace}
@findex \thinspace
@code{\thinspace} produces an unbreakable and unstretchable space that
is 1/6 of an em. This is the proper space to use in nested quotes, as
in '@dmn{''}.
@node \/
@section @code{\/}
@findex \/
The @code{\/} command produces an @dfn{italic correction}. This is a
small space defined by the font designer for a given character,
to avoid the character colliding with whatever follows. The italic
@i{f} character typically has a large italic correction value.
If the following character is a period or comma, it's not necessary to
insert an italic correction, since those punctuation symbols have a
very small height. However, with semicolons or colons, as well as
normal letters, it can help. Compare
@tex
{\it f\/: f\/;}
@end tex
@ifnottex
@i{f: f;} (in the @TeX{} output, the `f's are nicely separated)
@end ifnottex
with @i{f: f;}.
Despite the name, roman characters can also have an italic
correction. Compare
@tex
pdf\/\TeX{}
@end tex
@ifnottex
pdf@TeX{} (in the @TeX{} output, there is a small space after the `f')
@end ifnottex
with pdf@TeX{}.
@node \hrulefill
@section @code{\hrulefill}
@findex \hrulefill
The @code{\hrulefill} fill command produces a ``rubber length'' which can
stretch or shrink horizontally. It will be filled with a horizontal
rule.
@node \dotfill
@section @code{\dotfill}
@findex \dotfill
The @code{\dotfill} command produces a ``rubber length'' that fills
with dots instead of just white space.

@code{\addvspace@{length@}}
The @code{\addvspace} command normally adds a vertical space of height
length. However, if vertical space has already been added to the same
point in the output by a previous @code{\addvspace} command, then this
command will not add more space than needed to make the natural length
of the total vertical space equal to @code{length}.

about half of a line space (with stretch and shrink).
@item \smallskip
@findex \smallskip
@findex \smallskipamount
The same as @code{\vspace@{smallskipamount@}}, ordinarily about a

@end table
The @code{\...amount} parameters are determined by the document class.
@node \vfill
@section @code{\vfill}
@findex \vfill
The @code{\vfill} fill command produces a rubber length (glue) which
can stretch or shrink vertically as far as needed. It's equivalent to
@code{\vspace@{\fill@}} (@pxref{\hfill}).
@node \vspace
@section @code{\vspace[*]@{@var{length}@}}
@findex \vspace
Synopsis:
@example
\vspace[*]@{@var{length}@}
@end example
The @code{\vspace} command adds the vertical space @var{length}, i.e.,
a rubber length. @var{length} can be negative or positive.
Ordinarily, @LaTeX{} removes vertical space added by @code{\vspace} at
the top or bottom of a page. With the optional @code{*} argument, the
space is not removed.

@findex \mbox
@cindex hyphenation, preventing
The @code{\mbox} command creates a box just wide enough to hold the

The @code{\fbox} and @code{\framebox} commands are like @code{\mbox},
except that they put a frame around the outside of the box being created.
In addition, the @code{\framebox} command allows for explicit
specification of the box width with the optional @var{width} argument
(a dimension), and positioning with the optional @var{position}
argument. @c xxref
@findex \fboxrule
@findex \fboxsep
Both commands produce a rule of thickness @code{\fboxrule} (default
@samp{.4pt}), and leave a space of @code{\fboxsep} (default
@samp{3pt}) between the rule and the contents of the box.

@node \makebox
@section @code{\makebox}
@findex \makebox
Synopsis:
@example
\makebox[@var{width}][@var{position}]@{@var{text}@}
@end example
The @code{\makebox} command creates a box just wide enough to contain
the @var{text} specified. The width of the box is specified by the
optional @var{width} argument. The position of the text within the box
is determined by the optional @var{position} argument, which may take
the following values:
@table @code
@item c
Centered (default).
@item l
Flush left.
@item r
Flush right.
@item s
Stretch (justify) across entire @var{width}; @var{text} must contain
stretchable space for this to work.
@end table
@code{\makebox} is also used within the picture environment
@pxref{\makebox (picture)}.
@node \parbox
@section @code{\parbox}
@findex \parbox
Synopsis:
@example
\parbox[@var{position}][@var{height}][@var{inner-pos}]@{@var{width}@}@{@var{text}@}
@end example
The @code{\parbox} command produces a box whose contents are created
in @code{paragraph} mode. It should be used to make a box small
pieces of text, with nothing fancy inside. In particular, you
shouldn't use any paragraph-making environments inside a
@code{\parbox} argument. For larger pieces of text, including ones
containing a paragraph-making environment, you should use a
@code{minipage} environment (@pxref{minipage}).
@code{\parbox} has two mandatory arguments:
@table @var
@item width
the width of the parbox;
@item text
the text that goes inside the parbox.
@end table
The optional @var{position} argument allows you to align either the
top or bottom line in the parbox with the baseline of the surrounding
text (default is top).
The optional @var{height} argument overrides the natural height of the box.
The @var{inner-pos} argument controls the placement of the text inside
the box, as follows; if it is not specified, @var{position} is used.
@table @code
@item t
text is placed at the top of the box.
@item c
text is centered in the box.
@item b
text is placed at the bottom of the box.
@item s
stretch vertically; the text must contain vertically stretchable space
for this to work.
@end table
@node \raisebox
@section @code{\raisebox}
@findex \raisebox
Synopsis:
@example
\raisebox@{distance@}[@var{height}][@var{depth}]@{text@}
@end example
The @code{\raisebox} command raises or lowers @var{text}. The first
mandatory argument specifies how high @var{text} is to be raised (or
lowered if it is a negative amount). @var{text} itself is processed
in LR mode.
The optional arguments @var{height} and @var{depth} are dimensions.
If they are specified, @LaTeX{} treats @var{text} as extending a
certain distance above the baseline (height) or below (depth),
ignoring its natural height and depth.

@end example
This command typeset @var{text} in a box just as with @code{\makebox}
(@pxref{\makebox}), except that instead of printing the resulting box,
it saves it in the box labeled @var{\boxcmd}, which must have been
declared with @code{\newsavebox} (@pxref{\newsavebox}).

(@pxref{\mbox}) except that instead of the resulting box being
included in the normal output, it is saved in the box labeled
@var{\boxcmd}. @var{\boxcmd} must have been previously declared with
@code{\newsavebox} (@pxref{\newsavebox}).

@node Special insertions
@chapter Special insertions
@LaTeX{} provides commands for inserting characters that have a
special meaning do not correspond to simple characters you can type.
@menu
* Reserved characters:: Inserting # $ % & ~ _ ^ \ @{ @}
* Text symbols:: Inserting other non-letter symbols in text.
* Accents:: Inserting accents.
* Non-English characters:: Inserting other non-English characters.
* \rule:: Inserting lines and rectangles.
* \today:: Inserting today's date.
@end menu
@node Reserved characters
@section Reserved characters
@cindex reserved characters
@cindex characters, reserved
The following characters play a special role in @LaTeX{} and are called
``reserved characters'' or ``special characters''.
@example
# $ % & ~ _ ^ \ @{ @}
@end example
@findex \#
@findex \$
@findex \%
@findex \&
@findex \_
@findex \@{
@findex \@}
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 @code{\} in front of the character. For
example, @code{\$} will produce @code{$} in your output.
@findex \backslash
One exception to this rule is @code{\} itself, because @code{\\} has
its own special (context-dependent) meaning. A roman \ is produced by
typing @code{$\backslash$} in your file, and a typewriter @code{\} is
produced by using @samp{\} in a verbatim command (@pxref{verbatim}).
@findex \~
@findex \^
Also, @code{\~} and @code{\^} place tilde and circumflex accents over
the following letter, as in @~{o} and @^{o} (@pxref{Accents}); to get
a standalone @code{~} or @code{^}, you can again use a verbatim
command.
@findex \symbol
@cindex accessing any character of a font
Finally, you can access any character of the current font once you
know its number by using the @code{\symbol} command. For example, the
visible space character used in the @code{\verb*} command has the code
decimal 32, so it can be typed as @code{\symbol@{32@}}.
You can also specify octal numbers with @code{'} or hexadecimal numbers
with @code{"}, so the previous example could also be written as
@code{\symbol@{'40@}} or @code{\symbol@{"20@}}.
@node Text symbols
@section Text symbols
@cindex text symbols
@findex textcomp @r{package}

@samp{@var{month} @var{dd}, @var{yyyy}}; for example, `July 4, 1976'.
It uses the predefined counters @code{\day}, @code{\month}, and
@code{\year} (@pxref{\day \month \year}) to do this. It is not
updated as the program runs.
@cindex @code{datetime} package
The @code{datetime} package, among others, can produce a wide variety
of other date formats.
@node Splitting the input
@chapter Splitting the input
@cindex splitting the input file
@cindex input file
A large document requires a lot of input. Rather than putting the whole
input in a single large file, it's more efficient to split it into
several smaller ones. Regardless of how many separate files you use,
there is one that is the root file; it is the one whose name you type
when you run @LaTeX{}.
@menu
* \include:: Conditionally include a file.
* \includeonly:: Determine which files are included.
* \input:: Unconditionally include a file.
@end menu
@node \include
@section @code{\include}
@findex \include
Synopsis:
@example
\include@{@var{file}@}
@end example
If no @code{\includeonly} command is present, the @code{\include}
command executes @code{\clearpage} to start a new page
(@pxref{\clearpage}), then reads @var{file}, then does another
@code{\clearpage}.
Given an @code{\includeonly} command, the @code{\include} actions are
only run if @var{file} is listed as an argument to
@code{\includeonly}. See the next section.
@cindex nested @code{\include}, not allowed
The @code{\include} command may not appear in the preamble or in a file
read by another @code{\include} command.
@node \includeonly
@section \@code{includeonly}
@findex \includeonly
Synopsis:
@example
\includeonly@{@var{file1},@var{file2},...@}
@end example
The @code{\includeonly} command controls which files will be read by
subsequent @code{\include} commands. The list of filenames is
comma-separated. Each @var{file} must exactly match a filename
specified in a @code{\include} command for the selection to be
effective.
This command can only appear in the preamble.
@node \input
@section \input
@findex \input
Synopsis:
@example
\input@{@var{file}@}
@end example
The @code{\input} command causes the specified @var{file} to be read
and processed, as if its contents had been inserted in the current
file at that point.
If @var{file} does not end in @samp{.tex} (e.g., @samp{foo} or
@samp{foo.bar}), it is first tried with that extension (@samp{foo.tex}
or @samp{foo.bar.tex}). If that is not found, the original @var{file}
is tried (@samp{foo} or @samp{foo.bar}).

@node Tables of contents
@section Tables of contents
@cindex table of contents, creating
@findex \tableofcontents
A table of contents is produced with the @code{\tableofcontents}
command. You put the command right where you want the table of
contents to go; @LaTeX{} does the rest for you. A previous run must
have generated a @file{.toc} file.
The @code{\tableofcontents} command produces a heading, but it does
not automatically start a new page. If you want a new page after the
table of contents, write a @code{\newpage} command after the
@code{\tableofcontents} command.
@findex \listoffigures
@findex \listoftables
The analogous commands @code{\listoffigures} and @code{\listoftables}
produce a list of figures and a list of tables, respectively.
Everything works exactly the same as for the table of contents.
@findex \nofiles
The command @code{\nofiles} overrides these commands, and
@emph{prevents} any of these lists from being generated.

@cindex table of contents entry, manually adding
The @code{\addcontentsline}@{@var{ext}@}@{@var{unit}@}@{@var{text}@}
command adds an entry to the specified list or table where:
@table @var
@item ext
The extension of the file on which information is to be written,
typically one of: @code{toc} (table of contents), @code{lof} (list of
figures), or @code{lot} (list of tables).
@item unit
The name of the sectional unit being added, typically one of the
following, matching the value of the @var{ext} argument:
@table @code
@item toc
The name of the sectional unit: @code{part}, @code{chapter},
@code{section}, @code{subsection}, @code{subsubsection}.
@item lof
For the list of figures.
@item lot
For the list of tables.
@end table
@item entry
The actual text of the entry.
@end table
@findex \contentsline
What is written to the @file{.@var{ext}} file is the
command @code{\contentsline@{@var{unit}@}@{@var{name}@}}.
@c ?? how hardwired are these values? other unit names?
@node \addtocontents
@subsection \addtocontents
@findex \addtocontents@{@var{ext}@}@{@var{text}@}
The @code{\addtocontents}@{@var{ext}@}@{@var{text}@} command adds text
(or formatting commands) directly to the @file{.@var{ext}} file that
generates the table of contents or lists of figures or tables.
@table @var
@item ext
The extension of the file on which information is to be written:
@file{toc} (table of contents), @file{lof} (list of figures), or
@file{lot} (list of tables).
@item text
The text to be written.
@end table
@node Glossaries
@section Glossaries
@cindex glossaries
@findex \makeglossary
The command @code{\makeglossary} enables creating glossaries.
@findex \glossary
@cindex @file{.glo} file
The command @code{\glossary@{@var{text}@}} writes a glossary entry for
@var{text} to an auxiliary file with the @file{.glo} extension.
@findex \glossaryentry
Specifically, what gets written is the command
@code{\glossaryentry@{@var{text}@}@{@var{pageno}@}}, where
@var{pageno} is the current @code{\thepage} value.
The @code{glossary} package on CTAN provides support for fancier
glossaries.
@node Indexes
@section Indexes
@cindex indexes
@findex \makeindex
The command @code{\makeindex} enables creating indexes. Put this in
the preamble.
@findex \index
@cindex @file{.idx} file
The command @code{\index@{@var{text}@}} writes an index entry for
@var{text} to an auxiliary file with the @file{.idx} extension.
@findex \indexentry
Specifically, what gets written is the command
@code{\indexentry@{@var{text}@}@{@var{pageno}@}}, where @var{pageno}
is the current @code{\thepage} value.
@cindex `see' and `see also' index entries
To generate a index entry for `bar' that says `See foo', use a
vertical bar: @code{\index@{bar|see@{foo@}@}}. Use @code{seealso}
instead of @code{see} to make a `See also' entry.
@findex \seename
@findex \alsoname
The text `See' is defined by the macro @code{\seename}, and `See also'
by the macro @code{\alsoname}. These can be redefined for other
languages.
@cindex @command{makeindex} program
@cindex @command{xindy} program
@cindex @file{.ind} file
The generated @file{.idx} file is then sorted with an external
command, usually either @command{makeindex}
(@url{http://mirror.ctan.org/indexing/makeindex}) or (the
multi-lingual) @command{xindy} (@url{http://xindy.sourceforge.net}).
This results in a @file{.ind} file, which can then be read to typeset
the index.
@findex printindex
@cindex @code{makeidx} package
The index is usually generated with the @code{\printindex} command.
This is defined in the @code{makeidx} package, so
@code{\usepackage@{makeidx@}} needs to be in the preamble.
@findex indexspace
The rubber length @code{\indexspace} is inserted before each new
letter in the printed index; its default value is @samp{10pt plus5pt
minus3pt}.
@cindex @code{showidx} package
The @code{showidx} package causes each index entries to be shown in
the margin on the page where the entry appears. This can help in
preparing the index.
@cindex @code{multind} package
The @code{multind} package supports multiple indexes. See also the
@TeX{} FAQ entry on this topic,
@url{http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=multind}.
@node Letters
@chapter Letters
@cindex letters
@cindex creating letters
You can use @LaTeX{} to typeset letters, both personal and business. The
@code{letter} document class is designed to make a number of letters at
once, although you can make just one if you so desire.
Your @file{.tex} source file has the same minimum commands as the other
document classes, i.e., you must have the following commands as a
minimum:
@example
\documentclass@{letter@}
\begin@{document@}
... letters ...
\end@{document@}
@end example
Each letter is a @code{letter} environment, whose argument is the name
and address of the recipient. For example, you might have:
@example
\begin@{letter@}@{Mr. Joe Smith\\ 2345 Princess St.
\\ Edinburgh, EH1 1AA@}
...
\end@{letter@}
@end example
The letter itself begins with the @code{\opening} command. The text of
the letter follows. It is typed as ordinary @LaTeX{} input. Commands that
make no sense in a letter, like @code{\chapter}, do not work. The letter
closes with a @code{\closing} command.
@findex \\ @r{for letters}
After the @code{closing}, you can have additional material. The
@code{\cc} command produces the usual ``cc: @dots{}''. There's also a
similar @code{\encl} command for a list of enclosures. With both these
commands, use @code{\\} to separate the items.
These commands are used with the @code{letter} class.
@menu
* \address:: Your return address.
* \cc:: Cc list.
* \closing:: Saying goodbye.
* \encl:: List of enclosed material.
* \location:: Your organisation's address.
* \makelabels:: Making address labels.
* \name:: Your name, for the return address.
* \opening:: Saying hello.
* \ps:: Adding a postscript.
* \signature:: Your signature.
* \startbreaks:: Allow page breaks.
* \stopbreaks:: Disallow page breaks.
* \telephone:: Your phone number.
@end menu
@node \address
@section \address@{@var{return-address@}}
@findex \address
The @code{\address} 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 @code{\\} commands.
If you do not make an @code{\address} declaration, then the letter
will be formatted for copying onto your organisation's standard
letterhead. (@xref{Overview}, for details on your local
implementation). If you give an @code{\address} declaration, then the
letter will be formatted as a personal letter.
@node \cc
@section @code{\cc}
@findex \cc
@cindex cc list, in letters
Synopsis:
@example
\cc@{@var{name1}\\@var{name2}@}
@end example
Produce a list of @var{name}s the letter was copied to. Each name is
printed on a separate line.
@node \closing
@section @code{\closing}
@findex \closing
@cindex letters, ending
@cindex closing letters
Synopsis:
@example
\closing@{text@}
@end example
A letter closes with a @code{\closing} command, for example,
@example
\closing@{Best Regards,@}
@end example
@node \encl
@section @code{\encl}
@findex \encl
@cindex enclosure list
Synopsis:
@example
\encl@{@var{line1}\\@var{line2}@}
@end example
Declare a list of one more enclosures.
@node \location
@section @code{\location}
@findex \location
@code{\location@{address@}}
This modifies your organisation's standard address. This only appears
if the @code{firstpage} pagestyle is selected.
@node \makelabels
@section @code{\makelabels}
@findex \makelabels
@code{\makelabels@{number@}}
If you issue this command in the preamble, @LaTeX{} will create a sheet of
address labels. This sheet will be output before the letters.
@node \name
@section @code{\name}
@findex \name
@code{\name@{June Davenport@}}
Your name, used for printing on the envelope together with the return
address.
@node \opening
@section @code{\opening@{@var{text}@}}
@findex \opening
@cindex letters, starting
Synopsis:
@example
\opening@{@var{text}@}
@end example
A letter begins with the @code{\opening} command. The mandatory
argument, @var{text}, is whatever text you wish to start your letter.
For instance:
@example
\opening@{Dear Joe,@}
@end example
@node \ps
@section @code{\ps}
@findex \ps
@cindex postscript, in letters
Use the @code{\ps} command to start a postscript in a letter, after
@code{\closing}.
@node \signature
@section @code{\signature@{@var{text}@}}
@findex \signature
Your name, as it should appear at the end of the letter underneath the
space for your signature. @code{\\} starts a new line within
@var{text} as usual.
@node \startbreaks
@section @code{\startbreaks}
@findex \startbreaks
@code{\startbreaks}
Used after a @code{\stopbreaks} command to allow page breaks again.
@node \stopbreaks
@section @code{\stopbreaks}
@findex \stopbreaks
@code{\stopbreaks}
Inhibit page breaks until a @code{\startbreaks} command occurs.
@node \telephone
@section @code{\telephone}
@findex \telephone
@code{\telephone@{number@}}
This is your telephone number. This only appears if the
@code{firstpage} pagestyle is selected.

* \typeout:: Write text to the terminal.
@end menu
@node \typein
@section @code{\typein[@var{cmd}]@{@var{msg}@}}
@findex \typein
Synopsis:
@example
\typein[@var{\cmd}]@{@var{msg}@}
@end example
@code{\typein} prints @var{msg} on the terminal and causes @LaTeX{} to
stop and wait for you to type a line of input, ending with return. If
the optional @var{\cmd} argument is omitted, the typed input is
processed as if it had been included in the input file in place of the
@code{\typein} command. If the @var{\cmd} argument is present, it
must be a command name. This command name is then defined or
redefined to be the typed input.
@node \typeout
@section @code{\typeout@{@var{msg}@}}
@findex \typeout
Synopsis:
@example
\typeout@{@var{msg}@}
@end example
Prints @code{msg} on the terminal and in the @code{log} file.
Commands in @code{msg} that are defined with @code{\newcommand} or
@code{\renewcommand} (among others) are replaced by their definitions
before being printed.
@LaTeX{}'s usual rules for treating multiple spaces as a single space
and ignoring spaces after a command name apply to @code{msg}. A
@code{\space} command in @code{msg} causes a single space to be
printed, independent of surrounding spaces. A @code{^^J} in
@code{msg} prints a newline.
@node Command line
@chapter Command line
@cindex command line
The input file specification indicates the file to be formatted;
@TeX{} uses @file{.tex} as a default file extension. If you omit the
input file entirely, @TeX{} accepts input from the terminal. You
specify command options by supplying a string as a parameter to the
command; e.g.
@example
latex '\nonstopmode\input foo.tex'
@end example
@noindent
will process @file{foo.tex} without pausing after every error.
@cindex @samp{*} prompt
@cindex prompt, @samp{*}
@findex \stop
If @LaTeX{} stops in the middle of the document and gives you a
@samp{*} prompt, it is waiting for input. You can type @code{\stop}
(and return) and it will prematurely end the document.
