AMS-LATEX is a set of miscellaneous extensions for LATEX distributed by the American Mathematical Society. They provide superior information structure and superior printed output for mathematical documents.
There are far too many features of AMS-LATEX to list here. AMS-LATEX is described in the accompanying documentation, and in The LATEX Companion.
Version 1.2beta of AMS-LATEX was released for testing by intrepid users in October 1994. The full release of AMS-LATEX 1.2 is expected in early January 1995.
It will be divided into two bundles:
amsfonts
packages, which give access to
hundreds of new mathematical symbols, and new math fonts
such as blackboard bold and fraktur.
amsmath
packages, which provide finer control over
mathematical typesetting, such as multi-line subscripts,
enhanced theorem and proof environments,
and improved displayed equations,
amstex
package will be
provided.
