The ideal, not always realized, 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''. .PP \*(AX is the official typesetting system of the American Mathematical Society, and nearly all of its publications are typeset using \*(AX. The online version of AMS Math Reviews uses \*(AX input syntax for display of mathematical material. AMS authors can provide editors with computer-readable \*(AX files. .PP For authors more familiar with \*(LX, an AMS-supported variant called \*(AY is available. .\"===================================================================== .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR amslatex (1), .BR latex (1), .BR tex (1), .BR slitex (1). .br Michael Spivak, .IR "The Joy of \*(OX" , 2nd edition, Addison-Wesley, 1990, ISBN 0-8218-2997-1.
