Latex - Idea for a new article series
-
Hi all, I just wanted to ask you all about putting together a series of articles on Latex. Latex is a scripting language used for generating high quality, standardized documents. It's focus is on typesetting the infamously difficult subjects such as complex mathematics for engineering and computer science. Latex is a standard in most tertiary education institutes and is used by scientists throughout the world. It is widely available for all platforms. Latex can be quite difficult for newbies and a series of articles would be valuable for those who want to use it. Please, if anyone wants this series please reply. Thanks

I have never ever heared of "Latex"... And stop posting the same message in every message board. I have already read it in "General Discussion"... :mad:
Don't you also love the code?

LATEX [^] is the standard at most universities. It is intended to provide high-level access to the power of TEX [^] but that is not really important. The greatest thing about Latex is that it automates tedious tasks such as referencing, cross-referencing, bibliographies, figures, tables, page-layouts, presentations. While most word-processing apps (like MS Word) can do most of these things, the nice thing about latex is that it is a scripting language so you can actually define new comands and redifine existing commands. There is also extensive resources on the net where you can download additional packages for type-setting code, algorithms, trees, graphs, parse-trees, and so on. Anything you need typed for engineering, mathematics, physics, chemistry (any field really) can be done in latex.
