NAME
TeXsis – TeX macros for Physicists
SYNOPSIS
texsis [ filename ]
DESCRIPTION
TeXsis is a collection of TeX macros for typesetting physics documents such as papers and preprints, conference proceedings, books, theses, referee reports, letters, and memos. TeXsis macros provide automatic numbering of equations, automatic numbering and formatting of references, double column formatting, macros for making tables and figures, with or without captions, including tables with horizontal and vertical rules. TeXsis supports a wide variety of type sizes and a number of specialized document formats, and it even includes macros for making form letters for job applications or letters of recommendation.
TeXsis is an extension of "plain" TeX, so anything you know how to do in plain TeX you can do in TeXsis. TeXsis macro instructions are simply abbreviations for often used combinations of control sequences used to typeset physics documents. For more information about plain TeX see the man pages for tex(1), and/or The TeXbook, by D.E. Knuth.
TeXsis is stored as a pre-loaded format so that it loads quickly (see the man pages for initex(1), and/or "preloaded formats" in The TeXbook ). To run TeXsis simply give the command texsis in place of the tex command, i.e.
texsis [ filename ]
where filename.tex is the name of a file containing TeX and/or TeXsis
