1.3 Conventions
===============

In this document, `/' is used to separate filename components; for
example, `texmf/fonts'.  This is the Unix convention but the ideas are
in no way Unix-specific.

   In this document, "TeX" generally means the TeX system, including
Metafont, DVI drivers, utilities, etc., not just the TeX program itself.

   The word "package" in this document has its usual meaning: a set of
related files distributed, installed, and maintained as a unit.  This is
_not_ a LaTeX2e package, which is a style file supplementing a document
class.

   We use the following typographic conventions:

   * `literal' Literal text such as `filename' is typeset in typewriter
     type.

   * `REPLACEABLE' Replaceable text such as `PACKAGE', identifying a
     class of things, is typeset in italics inside angle brackets.
