LaTeX is a TeX macro package.
|
|
|
|
The previous version of LaTeX was known as LaTeX2.09. Over the years
|
|
many extensions have been developed for LaTeX. LaTeX2e brings all
|
|
extensions back under a single format and thus prevents the
|
|
proliferation of mutually incompatible dialects of LaTeX 2.09. With
|
|
LaTeX2e the `new font selection scheme' is standard and, for example,
|
|
amstex (formerly the AmSLaTeX format) or slides (formerly the SLiTeX
|
|
format) are simply extension packages, all working with the same base
|
|
format. The introduction of a new release also made it possible to
|
|
add a small number of often-requested features and to make the task of
|
|
writing packages and classes simpler.
