+LaTeX is a TeX macro package.
+
+The previous version of LaTeX was known as LaTeX2.09. Over the years
+many extensions have been developed for LaTeX. LaTeX2e brings all
+extensions back under a single format and thus prevents the
+proliferation of mutually incompatible dialects of LaTeX 2.09. With
+LaTeX2e the `new font selection scheme' is standard and, for example,
+amstex (formerly the AmSLaTeX format) or slides (formerly the SLiTeX
+format) are simply extension packages, all working with the same base
+format. The introduction of a new release also made it possible to
+add a small number of often-requested features and to make the task of
+writing packages and classes simpler.
