I find myself sometimes in the position that I need to know the "official" syntax and behavior of LaTeX2e user macros or environments. I'm talking about common things like minipage
.
Usually I find something by doing a Google search for latex <command>
, e.g. latex minipage
. There are a couple of online helps in English and German available, but there are mostly incomplete. To stick with the example of minipage
, most of them do not include the second and third optional argument.
Is there a comprehensive online or PDF manual freely available which explains the full syntax of LaTeX2e user level macros/environments?
Wanted features would be:
- Comprehensive (all arguments, all macros/environments, default values for optional arguments)
- Well organized, so that all macros/environments are quickly found.
- Nicely formatted
I had a look at the LaTeX wikibook and other online sites, as well as source2e
, but none of them really fulfill the above points. I realize that there might be books which handle these but I'm looking for something digital.
I personally need this because I like to support or emulate such standard macros or environments in my packages, but normal user will find a comprehensive manual also useful.
If there is no such document I'm might add it to my TODO list.
