Summary description:  Unofficial reference manual covering LaTeX2e

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

 An update of the unofficial LaTeX2e reference manual is available.

 The easiest way to view the manual is by visiting:
   https://latexref.xyz
 It is also available in TeX distributions and on CTAN at:
   https://ctan.org/pkg/latex2e-help-texinfo

 Notable changes since the last release:

 Additions:
 * \DocumentMetadata for experimental tagging support.
 * \thepage for page number representation.
 * \nobreakspace and U+00A0 synonyms for ties.
 * The (simple) \slash command.
 * \overrightarrow and \overleftarrow.
 * List the standard ligatures in LaTeX (ff fi fl ffi ffl `` '' -- --- `! `?).
 * Describe LaTeX's special characters (\ @ @ % $ & _ ^ # ~}.
 * Briefly mention hilatex and the hitex engine (https://ctan.org/pkg/hitex).
 * Briefly describe input encodings and how to handle them.

 Changes:
 * Update the discussion of fragile commands at \protect; since October 2019,
 most commands have been robust. Mention the cprotect package.
 * The lengthy list of commands for class and package writers, from
 clsguide, now split into sections instead of being one long table.
