Summary: LateX's author is not Donald Knuth

Initial Comment:
In the Python 2.1.1 documentation (precise URL:
http://www.python.org/doc/current/doc/node21.html), one
can read about LaTeX:

"This is a world-class typesetter by Donald Knuth"

This is not correct.

LaTeX is a big set of TeX macros (called a "format" in
TeX's terminology) written by Leslie Lamport. Donald
Knuth is the author of TeX, not of LaTeX.

Of course, LaTeX relies completely upon TeX.
