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.
