Tex Introduction Tex is the computer typesetting system developed by Knuth, because Knuth in writing the Art of Computer Programming (TAOCP), he spent 10 years writing TeX because of his dissatisfaction with the typesetting of the editorial office. Tex is using the approximate value of π as the version number, and Knuth says that by the time he dies, Tex's version number is fixed to pi, and others want to improve on Tex, then take another name. TeX is Greek, meaning "science", "art", the pronunciation of "Tek". TeX's output file is a DVI file, which is Device imdependent, which can be opened with the YAP software. PS file: The PostScript format introduced by Adobe Corporation.
Although Word's "WYSIWYG" typesetting software is more popular, Tex's "What you want to gain" is now the authoritative typesetting software in the field of scientific research.
LaTeX (pronounced lei "Tek") was written by the American Leslie Lamport according to Knuth Tex, because the original Plain Tex was inconvenient. Latex is a Tex-based macro language in which each latex command becomes a multi-tex command at compile time. LaTeX's strength is the automatic article section, the chart number, and the mathematical formula written is very beautiful, is MathType incomparable.
Professor Gartner has said: The first goal of the TeX typesetting system is high quality, and the typography of the document is not just good, but the best.
