NAME
latex, slitex, bibtex - tex macro package and bibliographies
SYNOPSIS
latex file[.tex]
slitex file[.tex]
bibtex auxname
DESCRIPTION
Latex is a standard set of macros for tex(1) inspired by, but not iden-
tical to, Scribe. The command latex file processes file.tex and pro-
duces file.dvi, which should be printed with lp(1). It will probably
be necessary to run latex twice, to get all of the cross-referencing
done properly. Latex writes cross-referencing information in file.aux.
Slitex is version of latex for making slides.
Bibtex reads the top-level auxiliary (.aux) file output by latex and
creates a bibliography (.bbl) file to be included in the source file.
The auxname on the command line should be given without an extension.
Each \cite in the source file is looked up in bibliography files to
gather together those used in the document. Then a bibliography style
file is executed to write a \thebibliography environment.
The source file should have defined the bibliography (.bib) files to
search with the \bibliography command, and the bibliography style
(.bst) file to execute with the \bibliographystyle command. Bibtex
searches the TEXINPUTS path (see tex(1)) for .bst files, and the BIBIN-
PUTS path for .bst files. The manual describes how to make bibliogra-
phy files.
See files in for more documentation. In particular, is the Local Guide
referred to in the manual.
