\classAbstract{ltxdoc}
\label{class:ltxdoc}


The \class{ltxdoc} document class is used for the
documentation of the \LaTeX{} code. It builds upon the \class{article}
class (see section~\ref{class:article}) and the \package{doc} package
(see section~\ref{package:doc}) and enables a kind of restricted
literate programming for \LaTeX{} macro files.

Almost all options of the \class{article} class are also supported by
this class. The only exception is the \option{a5paper} option which is
not accepted.
\\
%
It supports all pagestyles of the \class{article} class.

The class uses the files \file{ltxdoc.cls}, the files from the
\class{article} class, and the files from the \package{doc} package.
In addition, it may be configured by the file \file{ltxdoc.cfg}.

\Revision 1.3 1994/02/01 20:50:11 schrod
Changed ``needs file[s] \dots'' to ``uses file[s] \dots'' This seems
(for me) to be better English.

\Revision 1.2 1994/01/31 21:14:23 schrod
Changed markup, use high-level tags instead of verbatim. This way we
can change the presentation and add automatic indexing, etc.

\Revision 1.1 1994/01/27 21:12:35 schrod
New descriptions for the core classes of \LaTeXe{}. Did also use new
markup that enables the inclusion in other documents as well. In
particular, the version history might be typeset this way.
