Starting & Ending
=================

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

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

   where the `class' selected is one of the valid classes for LaTeX.
Note: Document Classes (and Note: Overview.), for details of the
various document classes available locally.

   You may include other LaTeX commands between the `\documentclass'
and the `\begin{document}' commands (i.e., in the `preamble').
