rlatex(1) General Commands Manual rlatex(1)NAME
rlatex -- Wrapper to run LaTeX/jadeTeX multiple times as needed
SYNOPSIS
[env LATEXPRG=latex-binary ] rlatex [latex-document]
Description
rlatex applies LaTeX or another LaTeX-based macro package (most notably jadetex, pdflatex, or pdfjadetex) to a given document, as many suc-
cessive times as needed.
It checks the output of a LaTeX pass, and launches a new pass when it notices specific strings which notify that the document's processing
has not been finished.
Caveats
This version is mostly tuned for jadetex, and may cause some problems when using pure LaTeX. This ought to be fixed some day.

LATEX(1) General Commands Manual LATEX(1)NAME
latex, elatex, lambda, pdflatex - structured text formatting and typesetting
SYNOPSIS
latex [first-line]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete documentation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file or manual
Web2C: A TeX implementation.
The LaTeX language is described in the book LaTeX - A Document Preparation System. LaTeX is a TeX macro package, not a modification to the
TeX source program, so all the capabilities described in tex(1) are present.
The LaTeX macros encourage writers to think about the content of their documents, rather than the form. The ideal, very difficult to real-
ize, is to have no formatting commands (like ``switch to italic'' or ``skip 2 picas'') in the document at all; instead, everything is done
by specific markup instructions: ``emphasize'', ``start a section''.
The primary source of documentation for LaTeX is the LaTeX manual referenced below, and the local guide in the file local-guide.tex or
local.tex or some such.
elatex is the e-TeX extended mode version of LaTeX format.
lambda is the Omega version of the LaTeX format.
pdflatex is the pdfTeX version of the LaTeX format.
On some systems latex209 and slitex are available for compatibility with older versions of LaTeX. These should not be used for new texts.
