Introduction
Introduction
Latex
Latex• Designed by academics and easily accommodates academic
use.• Professionally crafted predefined layouts make a document
really look as if “printed.”• Mathematical symbols and equations are easily integrated.• Even complex structures such as footnotes, references,
table of contents, and bibliographies can be generated easily.
• Forces author to focus on logical instead of aesthetic structure of a document.
• Creates more beautiful documents.• Portable, compatible, flexible, versatile, and cheap (or free)!
