depends on what is in it.
I can name my latex file important.docx, and it would still be a latex file.

Just the file extension! Some people use .ltx for LaTeX and .tex for
plain TeX/ConTeXt/other formats, but others use .tex for all TeX-based
documents. (I'm in the later category.)

.ltx file are often used to creat small example for inclusion in larger
project, like the Companion did. This is my understanding.

Thanks for all your answers. Well, that is what I had thought it
was. I only use .tex, for LaTeX(2e)/TeX, but this is a matter of
taste, as I understand it.

The LaTeX project itself uses .ltx for the files that will go
into the creation of the format. These are
latex.ltx
fonttext.ltx
fontmath.ltx
hyphen.ltx
ltpatch.ltx
preload.ltx
Others that follow this convention:
carlisle/mylatex.ltx
hyperref/hylatex.ltx
If you find *.ltx files in the doc tree, it is a pretty good
bet they are latex input files (start with \documentclass)
or are latex preambles of a corespondingly named .tex file.

True, and at present the same idea applies to the LaTeX3 work: if you
are intrepid and build a format from the expl3/xpackage stuff
everything is extracted as .ltx files.

Give a stranger one of your smiles; it might be the only sunshine he
