Text.LaTeX.Base

This module exports those minimal things you need to work with HaTeX. Those things are:

• The LaTeX datatype.
• The <> operator, to append LaTeX values.
• The Text.LaTeX.Base.Render module, to render a LaTeX value into Text.
• The Text.LaTeX.Base.Types module, which contains several types used by other modules.
• The Text.LaTeX.Base.Commands module, which exports the LaTeX standard commands and environments.

Here is also defined a Num instance for LaTeX.
