DOC++ provides both, HTML and LaTeX output. Both languages have formatting macros which are more or less powerful. The idea of DOC++ is to be able to generate both ouput formats from a single source. Hence, it is not possible to rely on the full functionality of either formatting macros. Instead, DOC++ supports a subset of each set of macros, that has proved to suffice for most applications. However, in one run of DOC++ the user must decide for the formating macros to use. The subset of each macro packet is listed in the following subsections. If one uses only one of the subsets, goodlooking output can be expected for both formats.
