latex2e: Document classes

 
 3 Document classes
 ******************
 
 The document's overall class is defined with this command, which is
 normally the first command in a LaTeX source file.
 
      \documentclass[OPTIONS]{CLASS}
 
    The following document CLASS names are built into LaTeX.  (Many other
 document classes are available as separate packages; Overview.)
 
 'article'
      For a journal article, a presentation, and miscellaneous general
      use.
 
 'book'
      Full-length books, including chapters and possibly including front
      matter, such as a preface, and back matter, such as an appendix
      (Front/back matter).
 
 'letter'
      Mail, optionally including mailing labels (Letters).
 
 'report'
      For documents of length between an 'article' and a 'book', such as
      technical reports or theses, which may contain several chapters.
 
 'slides'
      For slide presentations--rarely used today.  In its place the
      'beamer' package is perhaps the most prevalent (beamer
      template).
 
    Standard OPTIONS are described in the next section.
