One of the things I thought was particularly interesting about Lilypond was its interface with LaTeX. I was thinking about using the DOC format to write some prefaces to works I'm editing. Unfortunately, I'm barely able to work in LaTeX at this point but I think it has great potential. So, if TeX is no longer supported, how can one integrate music examples with text? And wasn't the documentation in DOC format?

Also, the manual clearly retains the TeX and DVI options so the developers must have intended it to work.

Note that the TeX backend is more or less unsupported, so don't be
surprised if it doesn't work anymore. If you have a very good reason
to use it, please tell the mailing list.

If I try -f tex or -f dvi options from the Bash console, I get:
   warning: can't generate "TeX" using the postscript back-end

I don't see any place to where the postscript back-end is set.
