I generally don't know if a LaTeX equivalent exists, since I'm not a LaTeX
expert. I'd like to learn, since I use LyX, and there's a lot more I could do
with it if I knew TeX. I do know it's possible to change fonts, but TeX uses
Metafont, not (AFAIK) TrueType or PostScript fonts.

Usually it means I couldn't figure out what the test case is. But in
keep-together, there is a file by that name, but I don't know what it's doing.
