I've been programming, writing articles and presentations on LaTeX for couple of years; and made few tutorials about starting working with latex, adjusting properties to write on Georgian, drawing 2D/3D images with tikz...

Now, I want to start working with its core, writing commands, adjusting styles, without relying (so much) on prewritten packages.

Can anyone advise, how and from where can I start?

TeX core starting points

1 According to the preface, the PDF version was made available by the author.

Extensions to TeX

LaTeX documentation

  • The basic LaTeX documentation should be installed with LaTeX. Documentation directory2:

    TDS:doc/latex/base/

    It contains user guides and also the documented source code (source2e.pdf).

2 TDS = TeX Directory Structure

    (+1). I find Martin Scharrer's List of internal LaTeX2e Macros useful to Package Authors (texdoc macros2e) useful as well (not in the base directory). – jon Dec 24 '16 at 18:25
