The document aims to get you up and running with AMS-LaTeX as quickly as
possible. These instructions (along with a template file template.tex) are not
a substitute for the full documentation, but they may get you started quickly
enough so that you will only need to refer to the main documentation
occasionally. In addition to 'AMS-LaTeX out of the box', the document contains:
a section describing how to draw commutative diagrams using Xy-pic; and a
section describing how to use amsrefs to create a bibliography.
