Going further, and towards <LaTeX>3

This article has not described all the features of NFSS2, or the style files which are distributed with it. For a detailed description of the whole system (and a great many other useful topics in <LaTeX>), the reader is referred to [1].

I advise all <LaTeX> users to switch to the new NFSS2 standard for <LaTeX> as soon as possible; the work done in NFSS2 is central to the development of the next version of <LaTeX>, written by the official maintainers of <LaTeX>, and if you get used to the NFSS way of thinking now, you will be in a good position to take advantage of <LaTeX>3 when it appears. The few remaining common style files which rely on the old behaviour of <LaTeX> are rapidly being converted, and many new font-related styles are being written now that it so much easier to do so.
