AMSTEX(1)							     AMSTEX(1)

NAME
       amstex - structured text formatting and typesetting

SYNOPSIS
       amstex [ first line ]

DESCRIPTION
       This  manual page is not meant to be exhaustive.	 The complete documen‐
       tation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file or	manual
       Web2C: A TeX implementation.

       The AmSTeX language is described in the book The Joy of TeX.  AmSTeX is
       a TeX macro package, not a modification to the TeX source  program,  so
       all the capabilities described in tex(1) are present.

       The AmSTeX macros encourage writers to think about the content of their
       documents, rather than the form.	 The ideal, not always realized, is to
       have  no	 formatting  commands  (like  ``switch to italic'' or ``skip 2
       picas'') in the document at all; instead, everything is	done  by  spe‐
       cific markup instructions: ``emphasize'', ``start a section''.

       AmSTeX  is the official typesetting system of the American Mathematical
       Society, and nearly all of its publications are typeset	using  AmSTeX.
       The  online  version  of	 AMS Math Reviews uses AmSTeX input syntax for
       display of mathematical material.  AMS authors can provide editors with
       computer-readable AmSTeX files.

       For  authors  more familiar with LaTeX, an AMS-supported package called
       amsmath.sty is is available.
