I believe that the included documentation is incomplete because Maxima
should support nearly all the commands from Macsyma (the older commercial
version of Maxima). Anyway, the command I have seen referenced is
'mactex.lisp' which creates plain TeX output. My reference if from the May
archives of the Debian user mailing list:

Math-ed support would be great, of course.
