LaTeX macro calls
=================

   This charset is available in `recode' under the name `LaTeX' and has
`ltex' as an alias.  It is used for ASCII files coded to be read by
LaTeX or, in certain cases, by TeX.

   Whenever you recode from another charset to `LaTeX', beware that all
occurrences of backslashes `\' are translated into the string
`\backslash{}'.  However, in practice, people often use backslashes in
the other charset for introducing TeX commands, compromising it: it is
not pure TeX, nor it is pure other charset.  This translation of
backslashes into `\backslash{}' can be rather inconvenient, it may be
inhibited through the command option `-d' (Note: Mixed).
