Converting TeTeX-HOWTO from LinuxDoc, I have a few
questions...

* The title is "The teTeX HOWTO: The Linux-teTeX Local
Guide". Should this be shortened to "teTeX-HOWTO" like
every other HOWTO has?

* usernames: I'm using (using brackets for tags to be
nice to browsers)

You must be logged in as [Literatal
remap="tt"]root[/Literal] to etc etc.

Is this right?

* When to use Command and when to use Application? For
instance:

Now [?]ls[/?] the directory and see your results.

You must have [?]metafont[/?] installed for this to
work.

* What about internal commands specific to the
program? I'm using Command for TeX commands, but it
renders them as bold, which is not what I was
envisioning (I was thinking typewriter face). Example:

Use the [?]\spiffy[/?] command to spiff up your
document.

* Is there a point to replacing all instanced of 'TeX'
with '[Application]TeX[/Application]'?

* Is it a hard-and-fast rule that examples run in a
shell should start with 'bash#' or 'bash$'?

* Are LaTeX documentclasses and packages 'Command's?
'Token's? Example:

Use the [?]letter[/?] documentclass when you want to
write a letter.

You'll have to install the [?]pstricks[/?] package to
include EPS graphics.



Thanks, everyone.
