** Summary ** '''LaTeX''', initially written by Leslie Lamport, Macro package on top of [TeX], written by Leslie Lamport, that makes it much easier for most people to produce extremely high-quality typeset TeX documents. Has a huge number of extension packages that allow it to do things from reports to presentations to crosswords. ** See Also ** [http://tug.org/%|%TeX Users Group (TUG)]: [http://www.latex-project.org/%|%LaTeX3]: [calling pdflatex]: [docstrip and tclldoc]: [KalininLaTeXeditor]: ** Description ** [MC] 2005-12-29: I've typeset a couple of books now and find that I get a lot of mileage out of getting my content into an [XML] format and then writing a [Tcl] script (making use of [tDOM]) to transform that into LaTeX. This allows me to easily experiment with LaTeX markup and LaTeX packages (since I've still got ''a lot'' to learn) with minimal pain. ---- [Donald Arseneau] is quite active on both [comp.lang.tcl] and comp.text.tex newsgroups. <> Documentation
