4.23 Loading LaTeX packages
===========================

Eplain provides a limited support for loading LaTeX packages ('.sty'
files--not '.cls'). This will mostly work for packages which were
designed with plain TeX compatibility in mind, which means that most
LaTeX packages cannot be loaded. The packages which are known to work
are listed below (Note: Packages known to work). If you discover a
working package which is not in the list, please report it to the Eplain
mailing list (Note: Introduction).

   To set up a pseudo-LaTeX environment for the packages, Eplain uses
'miniltx.tex'
(<http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/plain/graphics/miniltx.tex>)
from the LaTeX graphics collection, written by David Carlisle and
Sebastian Rahtz (the collection is available at
<http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/graphics>).
Eplain extends 'miniltx.tex' to provide some additional features, e.g.,
support for package options.
