Package texlive-latex

A TeX macro package that defines LaTeX

http://tug.org/texlive/

LaTeX is a widely-used macro package (format) for TeX, providing many basic
document formatting commands extended by a wide range of packages. It was
originally created by Leslie Lamport, whose last release was LaTeX 2.09. The
current LaTeX superseded that release in June 1994. The basic distribution is
catalogued separately, at latex-base. Apart from a large set of contributed
packages and third-party documentation (elsewhere on the archive), the
distribution includes: a number of required packages, which LaTeX authors may
assume will be present on any system running LaTeX; and a minimal set of
documentation detailing differences from the 'old' version of LaTeX in the
areas of user commands, font selection and control, class and package writing,
font encodings, configuration options and modification of LaTeX. For
downloading details, documentation links, etc., see the linked catalogue
entries above.
