An update of the unofficial LaTeX2e reference manual is available. The easiest way to view the manual is by visiting: https://latexref.xyz It is also available in TeX distributions and on CTAN at: https://ctan.org/pkg/latex2e-help-texinfo Notable changes in this June 2026 release: Additions: * \labelformat, \Ref, \ref*, \Ref* descriptions added. * \ClassNoteNoLine and \PackageNoteNoLine descriptions added. Changes: * minipage environment description corrected and expanded. * tabbing environment description expanded. * \spacefactor and related commands' description expanded. * Mention the quoting and csquotes packages. * The "easyurl" bs-*.html file now named bs-star.html, to kowtow to Windows. Distribution: * Add the epub output format now supported by makeinfo. * No longer generate the Texinfo XML (.xml) output, since makeinfo has deprecated it. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% There is a separately maintained French translation of this manual: https://ctan.org/pkg/latex2e-help-texinfo-fr There is also a Spanish translation included in the distribution with the English. It has not yet been updated for this release. Suggestions, bug reports, new translations, all discussion welcome. Mailing list details: https://lists.tug.org/latexrefman (in short, email latexrefman@tug.org; you need not subscribe to post) Contributions of any kind are very welcome, from small to large. It would be great to see the manual expanded to cover more of the LaTeX2e commands, not to mention expl3 and other current developments, but the current maintainers just cannot devote sufficient time to make that happen. Interested volunteers are needed.
