     LATEX(6)                                                 LATEX(6)

     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 identical to, Scribe.  The command latex file pro-
          cesses file.tex and produces 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 prop-
          erly.  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 bib-
          liography style (.bst) file to execute with the
          \bibliographystyle command.  Bibtex searches the TEXINPUTS
          path (see tex(1)) for .bst files, and the BIBINPUTS path for
          .bst files.  The manual describes how to make bibliography
          files.

          See files in `/usr/lib/tex/macros/doc' for more documenta-
          tion.  In particular, `local.tex' is the Local Guide
          referred to in the manual.
