README for latex2e.texi, release 1.6
------------------------------------

This directory contains Texinfo source that documents the 1994 release of
LaTeX, LaTeX2e.

I have tried to incorporate all changes and new features in LaTeX2e;
however, I have probably missed some. Some errors have also been
corrected, but I may also have introduced new ones. If you discover any
erroneous or misleading statements in this manual, please let me know.

`latex2e.texi' is adapted from `latex.texi' by Stephen Gilmore
(stg@dcs.ed.ac.uk), which in turn is based on `LATEX.HLP' by George
Greenwade.

You can use the function `texinfo-format-buffer' from within Emacs to
generate an Info file, which can be viewed using Emacs or the `info'
program.

You can also run TeX on the file to generate a DVI file, which can be
printed. However, you probably won't want to do that, as the formatting
is not very well suited for printed output, and you're much better off
with one of the standard LaTeX manuals.

Changes in release 1.3:

A selection of low-level NFSS2 commands added.
A short description of how to use BibTeX.
Concept index cleaned up.
Function index should be complete now.
Better formatting.
Description of recommended naming conventions for labels.
Several minor omissions and errors fixed.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Changes in release 1.4:

NOTE: The name of the generated Info file is now `latex' and not `latex2e'.
More commands added to function index (ahem).
Index generally improved.
A few omissions fixed.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Changes in release 1.5:

All menu items now have one-line descriptions.
Major cleanup of next/previous links.
Some other minor cleanups.
NOTE that my mail address has changed.
Emacs Lisp file 'ltx-help.el' for use with AUC TeX included.

Changes in release 1.6:

Some minor bug fixes; thanks to Piet van Oostrum <piet@cs.ruu.nl> and Ralf
Fassel <ralf@natlab.research.philips.com> for those.

NOTE: The node previously named 'List of Commands' is now named 'Command
Index' so that the Emacs command Info-index may work. Suggested by Ralf Fassel
<ralf@natlab.research.philips.com>.
'ltx-help.el' has therefore been updated. You _must_ use the ltx-help.el
included in this release with version 1.6 of latex2e.texi.
A bug has also been fixed in ltx-help.el; thanks to Kurt Hornik
<hornik@ci.tuwien.ac.at> for this.

As always, bug reports and comments are welcome.
