25 This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete
26 documentation for this version of \*(TX can be found in the info file
28 .IR "Web2C: A TeX implementation" .
30 The \*(AX language is described in the book
31 .IR "The Joy of \*(OX" .
32 \*(AX is a \*(TX macro package, not a modification to the \*(TX source
33 program, so all the capabilities described in
37 The \*(AX macros encourage writers to think about the content of their
38 documents, rather than the form. The ideal, not always realized, is to
39 have no formatting commands (like \(lqswitch to italic\(rq or \(lqskip 2
40 picas\(rq) in the document at all; instead, everything is done
41 by specific markup instructions: \(lqemphasize\(rq, \(lqstart a section\(rq.
43 For authors more familiar with \*(LX, an AMS-supported package called
45 is available, among others.
