I would like to scrutinise the documented source (.dtx) for the implementation on fundamental latex environments.

For instance,

\begin{document}, \begin{itemize}, \begin{table}, \begin{equation}, \begin{figure}, \begin{quote}.

  • texdoc source2e, but there's a lot of stuff there: not sure that's really an answer (and if it is, I'm thinking it's a dupe) – Joseph Wright Feb 27 '24 at 20:19

  • I want to look directly at the actual dtx files for a number of fundamental environments. And for some of those mentioned in the list I have provided. – Ragonese Feb 27 '24 at 20:26
  • Well source2e is the .dtx files, just typeset; you can work out from latex.ltx which .dtx you want and open it (I do that, but then I'm often wanting to edit the source - pretty unusual). I am wondering what you hope to learn: you won't find \begin{document} for example, rather \begin and \document. – Joseph Wright Feb 27 '24 at 20:28
