  TeX and LaTeX |
|
I get a reasonable number of queries about using the TeX typesetting program. Basically MS-Word is lame,
and the idea of using WYSIWYG is incompatible with scientific communication. Conversely, the LaTeX
program is ideally suited to the way we work. Actually I haven't seriously used a wordprocessor since
about 1991. Some grad students are put off by the TeX world, which initially seems to be dominated by
European academics with too much time on their hands and a weird fixation for animal drawings. The truth
is that these are incredibly powerful tools for assembling perfectly typeset documents. The
important thing is to get over the initial difference in using a typesetting program instead of a
wordprocessor. Here are some links to get one started.
The Not-So Short Introduction to LaTeX. A fabulous and free introduction for new users.
The LaTeX Companion. Almost everyone eventually buys this.
Do it early and get more benefits.
WinEDT.
This is the way to go for windows users (I'm not one though). A great editor/environment for TeXing.
Sourceforge MacTeX.
CTAN. The Comprehensive TeX Archive Network.
TUG. The TeX Users Group.
