I am looking for a list of all the strings the render special in LaTeX, for example \latex and \python, I believe are both special. Are there others? Is there a list somewhere?

    Welcome to TeX.SX! You can have a look at our starter guide to familiarize yourself further with our format. – Heiko Oberdiek Feb 18 '14 at 04:58
  • That links helps a bit, but isn't \python one too? that's not on the list. I'm actually looking more for programming languages that have special latex formatting. – Frank Conry Feb 18 '14 at 05:24
  • What's special about the typeset name "Python"? The official logo is available here. This is used as graphics. – Heiko Oberdiek Feb 18 '14 at 05:34
  • I must be nuts, I was dead sure \python had special formatting. clearly I'm wrong, sorry about that. So its just TeX related string like \LaTex the format special then? – Frank Conry Feb 18 '14 at 05:38
  • Why should there be a \python command providing a textlike logo of Python? All such commands as \LaTeX etc. (see the link Heiko Oberdiek provided) deal more or less with LaTeX itself. –  Feb 18 '14 at 05:39
  • You can always use texdoc on any package that might provide such commands. They will usually be documented there. – Sean Allred Feb 18 '14 at 05:49
  • Here is a (typographically bad) example of such a \python command, where I have played around with raiseboxes and kerning: \providecommand{\python}{% P\raisebox{-0.2em}{\kern -0.3em y}\raisebox{0.2em}{t}\raisebox{-0.3em}{\kern -0.32em h}\raisebox{-0.3em}{o}\raisebox{-0.5em}{n} }% –  Feb 18 '14 at 05:56
