Hi,

Could someone point to the literature that explains the latex engine model and commands that are available through its kernel. I read 'Not so short intro to latex' and it is great, but it only allows me be in a role of a pilot when working with latex. I see a lot of latex .sty files that use commands that I have never seen before and want to learn more on that. where does one learn of these commands? Is there a manual?

I want to be able to design my own templates, classes etc.

Thank you in advance,

• LaTeX2e for Class and Package Writers
• macros2e
• source2e
