Hypertext Help with LaTeX
Starting and Ending

Your LaTeX2\epsilon input file must contain the following commands as a minimum: 


 \documentclass{class}
 \begin{document}
   ... your text goes here ...
 \end{document}

or for LaTeX2.09 : 


 \documentstyle{class}
 \begin{document}
   ... your text goes here ...
 \end{document}

where the class selected is one of the valid LaTeX classes; see Document Style / Document Class.

You may include other LaTeX commands (preamble) between the \documentclass or \documentstyle and the \begin{document} commands.
