Accepted LaTeX Macros
---------------------

The following standard LaTeX commands are accepted:
`\section{..}'
     The section macro takes one argument: the name of the Man-page
     section. Each Man-page consists of several sections.  Usually
     there are the following sections in a Man-page: _Name_ (special
     handling as environment, c.f.  above), _Synopsis_, _Description_,
     _Options_, _Files_, _See Also_, _Diagnostics_, _Return Values_,
     _Bugs_, _Author_, _version_, etc.

     _Synopsis_ must be the first section after the Name environment.

     Note: Do not use LaTeX-macrosin section names.

`\subsection{..}'
     works as well as

`\subsubsection{..}'
     those.

`\emph{..}'
     \emph{example} is typeset as _example_.

`\textbf{..}'
     \textbf{example} is typeset as *example*.

`\texttt{..}'

`\underline{..}'
     \underline{example} is typeset as example of underline.

`\today'

`\ss,\"a, ...'
     \ss = ss, \"a= a", \"o= o", \"u= u", \"A= A", \"O= O", \"U= U". It
     is allowed to surround these macros in { and } in all places, even
     inside other macros, e.g.
     .     \textbf{\"a\"o\"u\"A\"O\"U\ss}
     .     \textbf{\"a}{\"o}{\"u}{\"A}{\"O}{\"U}{\ss}}
     .     \textbf{äöüÄÖÜß}
     *a"o"u"A"O"U"ss a"o"u"A"O"U"ss a"o"u"A"O"U"ss*

     If these letters are used in their LATIN-1 8-bit coding, they are
     translated into the equivalent letter of the desired output format.
     E.g. A" becomes &Auml; in HTML and @"A in texinfo.

`\input{..}'
     Read and process the given filename.

   Please note: the name of the LaTeX-macrosand its arguments must be
contained in one line.
