<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label ref-doc</title>
</head><body>
<h3>Reference documents</h3>
<p>For TeX primitive commands a rather nice
<a href="http://www.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/texcrib.pdf">quick reference booklet</a>,
by John W. Shipman, is available; it’s arranged in the same way as the
TeXbook. By contrast, you can view David Bausum’s
<a href="http://www.tug.org/utilities/plain/cseq.html">list of TeX primitives</a>
alphabetically or arranged by “family”. Either way, the list has a
link for each control sequence, that leads you to a detailed
description, which includes page references to the TeXbook.
<p>There doesn’t seem to be a reference that takes in Plain TeX as
well as the primitive commands.
<p>Similarly, there’s no completely reliable command-organised reference
to LaTeX, but the NASA
<a href="http://www.giss.nasa.gov/latex/">Hypertext Help with LaTeX</a> is
recently much improved. It still talks in LaTeX 2.09-isms in places,
but it’s been updated for current LaTeX; there are a number of
mirrors of the site, and it may be worth choosing a “local” one if
you’re going to use it a lot.
