Latex: A Documentation Preparation System User’s Guide and Reference Manual

This authoritative user's guide and reference manual for the LATEX computer typesetting system has been revised to document features available in the standard software release LATEX 2e. These features include additional styles and functions, improved font handling and enhanced graphics capabilities. Other parts of the book have been revised, also, reflecting several years of user comments and suggestions. Selected sections have been rewritten to explain difficult concepts or function, and the descriptions of both MakeIndex and BibTeX have been updated.

Leslie Lamport, a computer scientist, is well known for his contributions to concurrent computing and distributed systems. His ＂Time, Clocks, and the Ordering of Events in a Distributed System＂ paper has been honored for its enduring influence on the field. Lamport is also known for creating the LaTeX typesetting system and the best-selling book, LaTeX, Second Edition, which documents it (Addison-Wesley, 1994). Now at Microsoft Research in Mountain View, California, he began his work on TLA+ at the Digital (later Compaq) Systems Research Center in Palo Alto. Lamport, who earned his Ph.D. in mathematics from Brandeis University, is a member of the National Academy of Engineering.
