  I presume that by “ABCDE” you mean the five volumes of “Computers &
Typesetting”.

 You won’t find it.  “Computers & Typesetting” is not the Bible, or the
constitution of a country -- I’m even certain that Don Knuth would be
troubled by either of these comparisons -- it doesn’t define everything
that can possibly happen when developing a TeX distribution.
