.SH NAME
amstex \- structured text formatting and typesetting
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B amstex
.RI [ first-line ]
.\"=====================================================================
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete
documentation for this version of \*(TX can be found in the info file
or manual
.IR "Web2C: A TeX implementation" .
.PP
The \*(AX language is described in the book
.IR "The Joy of \*(OX" .
\*(AX is a \*(TX macro package, not a modification to the \*(TX source
program, so all the capabilities described in
.BR tex (1)
are present.
.PP
The \*(AX macros encourage writers to think about the content of their
documents, rather than the form. The ideal, not always realized, is to
have no formatting commands (like \(lqswitch to italic\(rq or \(lqskip 2
picas\(rq) in the document at all; instead, everything is done
by specific markup instructions: \(lqemphasize\(rq, \(lqstart a section\(rq.
.PP
For authors more familiar with \*(LX, an AMS-supported package called
.I amsmath.sty
is available, among others.
