What's New in teTEX 1.0 |
teTEX is a complete TEX distribution for UNIX compatible systems, maintained by Thomas Esser. It is based on Karl Berry's Web2c distribution.
The
latex
command typesets a file
of text using the tex
program
and the LATEX Macro
package for TEX. To be more specific, it
processes an input file containing the text of a document
with interspersed commands that describe how the text
should be formatted. It produces two files as output, a
Device Independent (DVI) file that contains commands that
can be translated into commands for a variety of output
devices, and a "transcript" or "log file" that contains
summary information and diagnostic messages for any errors
discovered in the input file.
