Configuring the LATEX format

There are four configuration files that enable personal preferences to be incorporated into the LATEX format file |latex.fmt|. The range of preferences that can be configured by these files is strictly limited as this helps to ensure document portability.

All four files work in the same way: if the file file|.cfg| is found, it will be input by iniTEX; otherwise a default file file|.ltx| will be input instead. Thus, providing one of these |.cfg| files completely overrides any settings in the corresponding standard |.ltx| file.
