##### LICENSE:
##### Public domain.
##### Use, reproduction, adaptation, and distribution of this web page
##### have no known restrictions.
##### It is based on the html page distributed with teTeX 1.0 by Keith Refson
##### possibly changed by Thomas Esser for teTeX 2.0.x.
##### Maintainer for teTeX 3.0: Joao P Matos.
##### Additional changes by Thomas Esser.
##### This is based on a php script used for merging the
##### distribution and local teTeX doc trees information at
##### http://lcr.math.ist.utl.pt/tetex/texmf-local/doc/index.phtml
#####
##### Please refer any feedback to the teTeX pretest
##### (http://www.mail-archive.com/tetex-pretest@informatik.uni-hannover.de/)
##### mailing list.
#####
##### The html prototype for inclusion in teTeX can be obtained as
##### http://lcr.math.ist.utl.pt/tetex-beta/texmf-dist/doc/index.phtml
#####
##### The html version included in the latest teTeX beta installed
##### at math.ist.utl.pt can be obtained as
##### http://lcr.math.ist.utl.pt/tetex-beta/texmf-dist/doc/index.html
#####
##### The output of the php version included in the latest teTeX(beta)
##### is available as
##### http://lcr.math.ist.utl.pt/tetex-beta/texmf-dist/doc/index.php
#####
##### The current version of the php script generating the html prototype is
##### http://lcr.math.ist.utl.pt/tetex-beta/texmf-dist/doc/index.txt
##### or (with fancy formatting if you just want to look at the code)
##### http://lcr.math.ist.utl.pt/tetex-beta/texmf-dist/doc/index.phps
##### It will be included in teTeX 3 allowing to serve this
##### documentation and local material to a small network or just to one host
##### To understand the idea compare:
##### http://lcr.math.ist.utl.pt/tetex-beta/texmf-dist/doc/index.phtml
##### http://lcr.math.ist.utl.pt/tetex-beta/texmf-dist/doc/index.phtml?local=yes
##### Check the dates at the bottom of the *html pages to the identify the
##### latest version.
##### -------------------------------------
##### To serve this page and the teTeX documentation through http you need
##### to enable directory indexes in the corresponding tree on your web server
##### as some of the links point to directories.
##### Also, if you plan on serving the php script itself you need to make sure
##### that files with the extension you choose for php parsed
##### scripts (.php, .phtml,...) are indeed parsed as php.
##### Adaptation of php.ini and a sufficiently recent version of PHP
##### may also be necessary.

<p>This page is an attempt at a guided tour around the TeX and LaTeX documentation which is distributed with teTeX.</p>
<p>teTeX is a unix TeX and LaTeX system assembled by Thomas Esser since <a href="http://tinyurl.com/6de5k">1994</a>. Its home page is located at <a href="http://www.tug.org/tetex/">http://www.tug.org/tetex/</a>. The <a href="../../texmf/doc/tetex/TETEXDOC.pdf"><em>teTeX Manual</em></a> is the main reference for teTeX specific information including configuration. A few notes on teTeX configuration are available below but are not intended to replace the manual.</p>
<p>Queries about installing and maintaining the teTeX installation itself should be directed to the <em>teTeX mailing list</em>: (see the <a href="http://www.tug.org/tetex/">teTeX Homepage</a> for instructions) - but check the <a href="../../texmf/doc/tetex/teTeX-FAQ">frequently-asked questions</a> list first. Questions about <em>using</em> LaTeX, TeX, etc., are best posted to the usenet newsgroup <tt><a href="news:comp.text.tex">comp.text.tex</a></tt> where they will receive attention from a worldwide readership.</p>
<p>The documentation available through this page is provided as either plain text, html or in one of the 3 common formats for TeX related output described in the table below. Note that only the <tt>xdvi*</tt> software is distributed with teTeX.</p>

<h2><a name="web2c">Web2c and configuration</a></h2>
<p>teTeX is based on the <em>web2c</em>
implementation of TeX, metafont, etc.
Information on running the various programs is contained in
<a href="programs/web2c.pdf">web2c.pdf</a>.
All programs use a common, configurable, library for searching for
files. The file
<a href="programs/kpathsea.pdf">kpathsea.pdf</a>
gives details. Data file system trees for tex, metafont and related programs (texmf trees) in teTeX are structured according to the
<em><a href="help/tds.dvi">TeX Directory
Structure (TDS)</a></em>. Available texmf trees, their location and
purpose are set in the web2c configuration file <code><a href="../../texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf">texmf.cnf</a></code> and described there and in the <a href="../../texmf/doc/tetex/TETEXDOC.pdf">manual</a>.</p>
<p>Configuration options in teTeX can be set system-wide using the <code>texconfig-sys</code> utility, or at the user level by <code>texconfig</code>. This <code>*-sys</code> convention is also followed for created map files (<code>udpmap</code>) and format files (<code>fmtutil</code>). Files created by these utilities are stored in the appropriate texmf tree.</p>
<p>To speed up file search file name databases named <code>ls-R</code> are used. They are located at the root of each texmf tree and need to be updated with the <code>texhash</code> command after the addition of files to the texmf trees except in the cases of automatic font generation or when using <code>texconfig</code>.</p>

<p>This distribution includes the classical <em>plain</em> and <em>LaTeX</em> macro packages as well as several more recent developments of TeX (and LaTeX).</p>
<h3><a name="tex"><strong>TeX</strong></a></h3>
<p>The original TeX described in the <cite>TeXbook</cite> by Donald E. Knuth.</p>
<h3 id="enctex"><a href="generic/enctex/encdoc-e.dvi">encTeX</a></h3>
<p>A backwards compatible extension to the original TeX allowing UTF-8 processing in 8-bit TeX.</p>
<h3><a name="plain"><strong>plain</strong> TeX</a></h3>
<p>The format described in the <cite>TeXbook</cite>.</p>
<h3 id="eplain"><a href="http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/dorai/eplain/">Eplain</a></h3>
<p><a href="eplain/eplain.pdf">Eplain</a> is an extended version of plain TeX format.</p>
<h3><a name="latex"><strong>LaTeX</strong></a></h3>
<p>The extremely popular macro package originally by Leslie Lamport and described in <cite><a href="http://www.awprofessional.com/titles/0201529831">LaTeX, a document preparation system (2<sup>nd</sup> edition) </a></cite>. Currently LaTeX is developed by the <a href="http://www.latex-project.org/">LaTeX project</a> which has recently updated its description of additional capabilities in the <a href="http://www.awprofessional.com/titles/0201362996"><cite>LaTeX Companion (2<sup>nd</sup> edition)</cite></a>. Most entries below deal with LaTeX functionality.</p>
<h3><a name="pdftex"><strong>PDFTeX</strong> and <strong>PDFLaTeX</strong></a></h3>
<p>Han The Thanh’s TeX variant which can generate output in Adobe PDF
format. Documentation is in the
<a href="pdftex/manual/pdftex-a.pdf">PDFTeX manual</a>.
<h3><a name="omega"><strong>Omega</strong> and <strong>Lambda</strong></a></h3>
<p>The <a href="omega/base/doc-1.12.ps">Omega</a>
system and the corresponding LaTeX format Lambda extend TeX for mixed multi-lingual typesetting using unicode. See the <a href="http://omega.enstb.org/">omega home page</a>.</p>
<h3><a name="etex"><strong>ETeX</strong> and <strong>ELaTeX</strong></a></h3>
<p><a href="etex/base/etex-man.pdf">e-TeX</a> adds several extensions
to TeX notably right-to-left typesetting.</p>
<h3><a name="aleph">Aleph</a></h3>
<p>The <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=aleph">Aleph</a> project aims to build a "usable" version of Omega, incorporating ETeX extensions.</p>
<h3><a name="context">ConTeXt</a></h3>
<p>A relatively recent macro package for TeX by Hans Hagen. A ConTeXt specific package is included: <a href="context/ppchtex/mp-ch-en.pdf">PPCH<sub>TEX</sub></a> which allows typesetting chemical structure-formulas.</p>
<h2><a name="guides">Guides</a></h2>
<p>Useful information in a questions and answers format is provided by the UK TeX users group <a href="help/faq/uktug-faq/index.html">Frequently Asked Questions</a> list.</p>
<h3>LaTeX guides</h3>
<p>LaTeX2e is the recommended version of LaTeX, and the older version LaTeX 2.09 is obsolete. If you know LaTeX2.09 read about <a href="latex/base/usrguide.dvi">LaTeX2e vs LaTeX2.09</a> and why you should switch. There is one manual describing the LaTeX language itself, which may at a pinch substitute for a book, the <em><a href="latex/general/lshort.pdf">Not so short Introduction to LaTeX2e</a></em>. There is also a <a href="latex/tex-refs/latex.html">full reference manual</a> of LaTeX2e commands -- ideal for looking up a particular piece of formatting while writing a document (also available in <a href="latex/general/latex2e.dvi">dvi</a> format) and a table of <a href="latex/general/symbols.dvi">available mathematical symbols</a>. Either new or old users of LaTeX 2e should benefit from checking the <em><a href="latex/general/l2tabuen.pdf">Dos and don’ts of LaTeX 2e</a></em>.</p>
<p>Most LaTeX books refer to a <em>local guide</em> to describe operating-system and implementation-dependent aspects, notably the commands to invoke LaTeX and how to preview and print documents. The document <em><a href="latex/general/guide.dvi">Running LaTeX and utilities on a Unix system</a></em> (also in <a href="latex/general/guide.ps">PostScript</a> form) is a good introduction to most of these topics.</p>
<p>There are <em>errata lists</em> available for two well-known books, the <a href="latex/base/manual.err"><em>LaTeX Book</em></a> and the <em>LaTeX Companion</em> <a href="latex/base/compan.err">(1st edition)</a> <a href="http://www.latex-project.org/guides/tlc2.err">(2nd edition)</a>.</p>
<p>The LaTeX project maintains a <a href="http://www.latex-project.org/guides/">documentation page</a> listing guides available through the web or in book form.</p>
<h3>ConTeXt guides</h3>
<p>teTeX includes a few ConTeXt guides: the main <a href="context/manual/cont-eni.pdf">ConTeXt manual</a>, a <a href="context/base/mreadme.pdf">readme</a> document, an <a href="context/base/minstall.pdf">installation guide</a> with information on the command line interface <code>texexec</code>, <a href="context/base/mtexexec.pdf">additional information on texexec</a>, an <a href="context/base/ms-cb-en.pdf">introductory document</a> and a <a href="context/base/setup-en.pdf">full list of commands</a>. Further documentation on ConTeXt is available from the <a href="http://www.pragma-ade.com/">PRAGMA</a> site.</p>
<h2><a name="graphics">Graphics and Colour</a></h2>
<p>A very common requirement is to include some kind of graphics as an external file (usually PostScript) into a LaTeX document. The definitive manual on how to do this is Keith Reckdahl’s excellent <em><a href="latex/graphics/epslatex.ps">Using imported graphics in LaTeX2e</a></em>. The document <em><a href="latex/graphics/grfguide.ps">Packages in the ‘graphics’ bundle</a></em> is the documentation on the recommended LaTeX2e <em>graphics</em> package, which includes information on how to use colours in the output.</p>
<p>Other graphics related packages include:</p>
<dl>
<dt><a href="latex/psfrag/pfgguide.ps">psfrag</a></dt>
<dd>
Allows importing PostScript figures from any other package, but use LaTeX’s power for all of the mathematical and textual annotations. (But note that <tt>
xfig</tt> allows you to do this anyway).
</dd>
<dt>
<a href="generic/tex-ps/poligraf/README">poligraf</a>
</dt>
<dd>Provides preparation of pages for prepress, color separation, cropmarks, color and gray scale bars, and mirror print. <a href="generic/tex-ps/poligraf/samplelx.tex">An example for LaTeX</a> and <a href="generic/tex-ps/poligraf/sample.tex">an example for plain</a> are available.
</dd>
<dt>
<a href="latex/preview/preview.dvi">preview</a>
</dt>
<dd>
This package is used by <a href="http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net/">preview-latex</a> for (x)emacs. It allows to produce tight (meaning with correct bounding box) eps images of typeset fragments like displayed formulas.
</dd>
<dt>
<a href="latex/ps4pdf/README">ps4pdf</a>
</dt>
<dd>
A new way of dealing with Postscript commands (e.g. PSTricks graphics, PSfrag replacements, EPS graphics) inside pdflatex documents. See the <a href="latex/ps4pdf/ps4pdf-test.tex">test file</a>.
</dd>
<dt>
<a href="latex/xcolor/xcolor.dvi">xcolor</a>
</dt>
<dd>
Allows a user to select a document-wide target color model and offers tools for conversion between color models.
</dd>
<dt>
<a href="../tex/latex/oberdiek/epstopdf.sty">epstopdf.sty</a>
</dt>
<dd>
PDF output through pdftex and the graphicx (or graphics) package implies graphics inclusions as <tt>*.pdf</tt> files (or other formats but not <tt>.eps</tt>). A change in output format normally implies using the <tt>epstopdf</tt> program to convert graphics inclusions. You may find the epstopdf style convenient as it automates such a procedure.
</dd>
</dl>
<h2><a name="diagrams">Graph and Diagram Drawing</a></h2>
<p>Probably the best way to draw a simple diagram is to use the <em>
xfig</em> program (see the unix man page for details). However
there are programmatic ways for more sophisticated work. These include:</p>
<dl>
<dt><a href="latex/eepic/eepic.dvi">eepic</a></dt>
<dd>A macro package for a much enhanced LaTeX "picture mode". Requires driver support for tpic <kbd>\special</kbd>s. Some drawing programs such as <em>
xfig</em> can write their output as <b>eepic</b> macros.</dd>

<dd>Extend LaTeX <kbd>picture</kbd> drawing environment using PostScript \specials.</dd>
<dt><a href="../tex/latex/multibox/multibox.sty">multibox</a></dt>
<dd>Multiple boxes in pictures.</dd>
<dt>Pstricks</dt>
<dd>a set of macros for performing fancy twiddles
using PostScript, such as drawing of geometrical objects, diagrams,
fancy boxes, grayscales, etc. There is a <em>User Guide</em> (
<a href="generic/pstricks/obsolete/pst-usr1.ps">part 1</a>,

<p> The main LaTeX classes included with the core distribution are <code>article</code>, <code>book</code>, <code>report</code>, <code>letter</code> and <code>slides</code>. They are describeb in <cite>LaTeX, a document preparation system</cite>.</p>
<p>LaTeX packages offer additional control and alternatives to the visual appearance and formatting of LaTeX documents. Many are described in
<a href="http://www.aw-bc.com/catalog/academic/product/0,1144,0201362996,00.html">
<cite>The LaTeX Companion</cite></a><!-- and they are grouped here in
accordance with the headings defined there -->.
The majority of packages included in teTeX are listed below.
Many more have been written to provide additional capabilities and are
available for download from the Comprehensive TeX Archive
Network servers, abbreviated to <a href="http://www.ctan.org/search/?action=/search/">CTAN</a> (<a href="http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/scripts/CTAN/">locate a nearby CTAN node</a>).
Here is the <a href="help/Catalogue/index.html">Catalogue</a>
of packages available from CTAN. LaTeX itself and most of these packages
are released under the <a href="latex/base/lppl.txt">LaTeX
Project Public License</a>.</p>
<h3><a name="general">Alternative classes and bundles</a></h3>
<p>Most additional LaTeX classes and bundles listed in the following sections have a narrow scope and try to solve a very specific problem. A few try to offer full alternatives with respect to document design to the main LaTeX classes. Two examples with such a generic nature:</p>
<dl>
<dt><a href="latex/koma-script/scrguien.pdf">KOMA-script</a></dt>

<h3><a name="bibtex">Bibtex</a></h3>
<p><tt>
bibtex</tt>
is a separate program for managing databases of bibliographic references
and selecting for citation in a LaTeX document. It is described in
Appendix B of <cite>LaTeX: a Document Preparation System</cite> and chapter 13 of
<a href="http://cseng.awl.com/bookdetail.qry?ISBN=0-201-54199-8&ptype=0"><em>The LaTeX Companion</em></a> and online in the documents entitled
<a href="bibtex/base/btxdoc.dvi">BibTexing</a> and
<a href="bibtex/base/btxhak.dvi">Designing BibTeX Styles</a>.</p>
<p>The latter document,
<a href="bibtex/base/btxhak.dvi">Designing
BibTeX Styles</a> is a guide
to customizing the format of the reference list. The non-expert may
find it more useful to use the ancillary program
<tt><a href="latex/custom-bib/makebst.dvi">makebst</a></tt>
which semi-automates the design of a new bibliography style.</p>
<p><tt><a href="#natbib">natbib</a></tt> is a LaTeX package which
allows customization of the citation style in the text (rather than
the format of the reference list). It works with almost all
bibliography styles, even those which define their own citation
macros.</p>
<p>Additional capabilities are provided by the <a href="latex/bibunits/bibunits.dvi">bibunits</a> package which allows defining separate bibliographies for different document parts or <a href="latex/multibib/multibib.dvi">multibib</a> which allows referencing multiple bibliographies.</p>
<p>Usage of BibTeX can also be adpted to other ends. A <a href="latex/adrconv/adrguide.dvi">LaTeX style</a> for address databases using BibTeX is also included.</p>
<h3><a name="makeindex">Makeindex</a></h3>
<p>The <tt>makeindex</tt> program which provides facilities for
generating an index is described in the documents
<a href="makeindex/ind.dvi">Index Preparation and Processing</a> and the
<a href="makeindex/makeindex.dvi">Makeindex user guide</a>.</p>
<h3><a name="dvips">Dvips</a></h3>
<p>The full documentation for the
<a href="programs/dvips.pdf">dvips</a> DVI -> PostScript
translator. N.B. The advice concerning including PostScript graphics
has been superceded by the standard LaTeX2e
<a href="latex/graphics/grfguide.ps">graphics</a> package.</p>
<p>Type I versions of the computer-modern fonts are used by default when invoking <kbd>dvips</kbd> in teTeX. Command arguments such as <kbd>-Pcmz</kbd> or <kbd>-Pamz</kbd> are no longer needed. Type 1 fonts are scaleable so the resulting PostScript does not
include bitmapped fonts and is therefore resolution-independent.
This is very useful if the postscript is to be scaled up or down
or the final destination printer is not known.</p>

<h2><a name="man">Man pages</a></h2>
<p>Unix man pages included with teTeX range from being little more than a pointer to other documentation to being the main or sometimes unique source of information about a given application. For reference, a full list follows.</p> <kbd><b>afm2tfm(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>allcm(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>allec(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>allneeded(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>amstex(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>bibtex(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>ctangle(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>ctie(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>cweave(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>cweb(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>dmp(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>dvi2fax(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>dvicopy(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>dvihp(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>dvilj(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>dvilj2p(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>dvilj4(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>dvilj4l(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>dvilj6(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>dvipdfm(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>dvipdft(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>dvipng(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>dvips(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>dvired(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>dvitomp(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>dvitype(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>e2pall(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>ebb(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>eplain(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>epstopdf(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>etex(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>fdf2tex(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>fmtutil-sys(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>fmtutil(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>fontinst(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>gftodvi(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>gftopk(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>gftype(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>gsftopk(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>info(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>infokey(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>install-info(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>kpseaccess(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>kpsepath(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>kpsereadlink(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>kpsestat(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>kpsetool(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>kpsewhere(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>kpsewhich(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>kpsexpand(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>lambda(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>latex(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>mag(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>makeindex(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>makeinfo(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>makempx(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>makempy(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>mf-nowin(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>mf(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>mft(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>mkindex(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>mkocp(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>mkofm(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>mktexfmt(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>mktexlsr(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>mktexmf(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>mktexpk(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>mktextfm(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>mpost(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>mpto(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>newer(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>odvicopy(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>odvips(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>odvitype(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>ofm2opl(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>omega(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>opl2ofm(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>otp2ocp(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>outocp(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>ovf2ovp(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>ovp2ovf(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>oxdvi(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>patgen(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>pdfetex(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>pdflatex(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>pdftex(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>pdfxtex(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>pfb2pfa(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>pk2bm(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>pktogf(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>pktype(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>pltotf(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>pooltype(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>ps2frag(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>ps2pk(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>pslatex(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>rubibtex(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>rumakeindex(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>tangle(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>tcdialog(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>tex(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>texconfig-sys(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>texconfig(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>texdoc(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>texdoctk(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>texexec(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>texfind(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>texfont(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>texhash(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>texi2dvi(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>texi2html(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>texindex(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>texlinks(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>texshow(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>texutil(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>tftopl(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>thumbpdf(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>tie(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>ttf2afm(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>updmap-sys(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>updmap(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>vftovp(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>vptovf(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>weave(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>xdvi(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>xdvizilla(1)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>fmtutil.cnf(5)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>info(5)</b></kbd> <kbd><b>texinfo(5)</b></kbd>
<p>A few of these are also available using the <kbd>info</kbd> system.</p>
<p>On a terminal window type <kbd>man <em>application_name</em></kbd> (or <kbd>info <em>application_name</em></kbd>) followed by <kbd><return></kbd> as appropriate. If a man page number appears more than once in the above list you may need to use <kbd>man <em>section application_name</em></kbd> where <kbd>section</kbd> refers to what is indicated inside ().</p>
