source2e – Tem­plate for LaTeX doc­u­men­ta­tion

The LaTeX sys­tem is pro­vided as a large num­ber of sep­a­rate mod­ules. The in­ter­ested user may pro­cess each mod­ule sep­a­rately, to pro­duce for­mat­ted doc­u­men­ta­tion. For­mat­ted doc­u­men­ta­tion of the en­tire sys­tem, how­ever, is a more sub­stan­tial un­der­tak­ing; source2e.tex pro­vides what the user needs to pro­duce a com­plete list­ing of the LaTeX ker­nel. It not only in­cludes the rel­e­vant mod­ules in the ‘cor­rect’ or­der, but it also guides the user through the rather com­plex com­pi­la­tion pro­cess (by writ­ing mes­sages to the ter­mi­nal and log).
A for­mat­ted copy of source2e is pro­vided in the la­tex-tds bun­dle; the file it­self is part of the LaTeX base dis­tri­bu­tion.
