+      sshlatex is a tool which uploads LaTeX source files to a remote, runs
+      LaTeX there, and streams the resulting PDF file to the local host.
+      Because sshlatex prestarts LaTeX with the previous run's preamble,
+      thereby preloading the required LaTeX packages, it is also useful in a
+      purely local setting.
