12.2 LaTeX macro calls

This charset is available in recode under the name LaTeX and has ltex as an alias. It is used for ASCII files coded to be read by LaTeX or, in certain cases, by TeX.

Whenever you recode from another charset to LaTeX, beware that all occurrences of backslashes \ are translated into the string `\backslash{}'. However, in practice, people often use backslashes in the other charset for introducing TeX commands, compromising it: it is not pure TeX, nor it is pure other charset. This translation of backslashes into `\backslash{}' can be rather inconvenient, it may be inhibited through the command option `-d' (see section 3.7 Using mixed charset input).
