See also section 7.10 in the docs, which tells you more about how
styles are mapped to Latex macros and how you can supply ".tex" files
to override the predefined macros:

  http://docs.racket-lang.org/scribble/config.html?q=scribble

But there's really not enough documented, so far. I have been working
my way in the direction of documenting all the relevant Latex macros,
but I was first working on documenting the CSS styles for HTML
rendering, and I haven't gotten very far on that, either --- see
http://lists.racket-lang.org/users/archive/2013-October/059838.html .

For now, you can look at "scribble.tex" to see what macros are defined
and that you can redefine.
