<p>The formatter&rsquo;s requests and escape sequences for setting the typeface
and size are not always intuitive, so all macro packages provide macros
to make these operations simpler.  They also make it more convenient to
change typefaces in the middle of a word and can handle italic
corrections automatically.  See <a class="xref" href="Italic-Corrections.html">Italic Corrections</a>.
