| | LaTeX - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | LaTeX can be arbitrarily extended by using the underlying macro language for developing custom formats. | | | LaTeX was originally most commonly used by mathematicians and scientists, amongst whom it remains the favored tool for writing papers, preprints, and books. | | | The popularity of LaTeX in the technical and academic communities is perhaps partly due to its early availability on Unix systems, and the comparative unavailability of competing word processors on those platforms until recently. |

This list focuses on programs that are freely available or are shareware--commercial implementations such as ScientificAssistant are not discussed. |

| | LaTeX is a software system for typesetting text into high-quality, "camera-ready" format. | | | LaTeX is now the de facto standard for formatting conference papers in formal linguistics, especially in computational linguistics, syntax and semantics. | | | There are lots of LaTeX experts in the linguistics department, and many of them have made available various useful tools, macros, style files, tutorials, etc. that they have developed. |

| | LaTeX - Computer @ Michael Prokop |
| | LaTeX also works on old computer systems, there is no need to have a X-System running! | | | Commands can be defined for many purposes, not the least important of which is to permit input to be structured in a logical manner, allowing an author to concentrate on content rather than on typographic appearance. | | | This tool provides several predefined document classes (book, article, report) with extensive sectioning and cross-referencing capabilities, and auxiliary tools for such processes as bibliography and index creation. |

| | Introducing LaTeX |
| | LaTeX is a document preparation system, a special version of Donald Knuth's TeX program. | | | It takes a computer file, prepared according to the "rules" of TeX, and converts it to a form that may be printed on a high-quality printer, such as a laser writer, to produce a printed document of publication quality. | | | TeX is a sophisticated program designed to produce high-quality typesetting, especially for mathematical text. |

| | Of course, it is possible in LaTeX to specify much about the physical layout, but this tends to be done with commands that define things like space between lines or amount to indent paragraphs rather than by positioning each piece of text on the page as is typical in WYSIWYG systems. | | | It typesets a file of text using the TeX program and the LaTeX Macro package for TeX. It does this by processing an input file containing the text of a document with interspersed commands that describe how the text should be formatted. | | | These hypertext help files are meant to provide reference information for those with some familiarity with LaTeX. |
