The ideal, very difficult to realize, 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 The primary source of documentation for \*(LX is the \*(LX manual referenced below, and the local guide in the file .I local-guide.tex or .I local.tex or some such somewhere in the directory @TEXINPUTDIR@. .\"===================================================================== .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR amslatex (1), .BR amstex (1), .BR slitex (1), .BR tex (1), .br Leslie Lamport, .IR "\*(LX \- A Document Preparation System" , Addison-Wesley, 1985, ISBN 0-201-15790-X.
