LaTeX is a document markup language and document preparation system for the TeX typesetting program. The term LaTeX refers only to the language in which documents are written, not to the editor used to write those documents. In order to create a document in LaTeX, a .tex file must be created using some form of text editor. While most text editors can be used to create a LaTeX document, a number of editors have been created specifically for working with LaTeX.

Positive comment • 15 days ago • as an alternative to Microsoft Word
sbibauw The most powerful document preparation system, for the absolute best result ever.
RemovedUser It is also very good for professional documents and technical writing, It is more verbose and syntax heavy but there is more information available for it online. it is also much more flexible due to the large amount of packages available.
