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.
