TeX - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia TeX is a macro- and token-based language: many commands, including most user-defined ones, are expanded on the fly until only unexpandable tokens remain which get executed. The original version of TeX used a hyphenation algorithm based on a set of rules for the removal of prefixes and suffixes of words, and for deciding if it should insert a break between the two consonants in a pattern of the form vowel–consonant–consonant–vowel (which is possible most of the time). TeX is usually provided in the form of a distribution, an easy-to-install bundle of TeX itself along with METAFONT and all the necessary fonts, documents formats, and utilities needed to use the typesetting system. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/TeX   (4214 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) X (usually written TeX in plain text) is a typesetting system written by Donald Knuth, which is popular in academia, especially in the mathematics, physics and computer science communities. TeX is generally considered to be the best way to typeset complex mathematical formulas, but, especially in the form of LaTeX and other template packages, is now also being used for many other typesetting tasks. TeX is a macro based language: every command expands into a list of other commands or text (possibly with side effects), and the other commands are then expanded in turn until everything is fully expanded. wikiwhat.com /encyclopedia/t/te/tex.html   (1251 words)

TeX Computer Encyclopedia Enterprise Resource Directory Complete Guide to Internet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) Knuth began TeX because he had become annoyed at the declining quality of the typesetting in volumes I-III of his monumental "Art of Computer Programming" (see {Knuth}, also {bible}). Though well-written, TeX is so large (and so full of cutting edge technique) that it is said to have unearthed at least one bug in every {Pascal} system it has been compiled with. TeX fans insist on the correct (guttural) pronunciation, and the correct spelling (all caps, squished together, with the E depressed below the baseline; the mixed-case "TeX" is considered an acceptable {kluge} on {ASCII}-only devices). www.jaysir.com /computer-encyclopedia/t/tex-computer-terms.htm   (509 words)

TeX++ documentation TeX++ solves all of these issues, while at the same time staying as close as possible to the original TeX. Moreover, it has a number of interesting new features which make it possible to use TeX as a typesetting engine for a web browser. TeX in C for an example of a TeX version in C which was based on an automatic conversion from the Pascal original). The binary of TeX++ is a bit under 200Kb in size, linked to the standard C and C++ libraries, and that's it: no zillions of supporting programs and libraries, no huge directory trees with zillions of configuration files, but just a single nice Unix binary that you can install anywhere you like. www.aei.mpg.de /~peekas/tex++   (1154 words)

TeX typesetting system   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) TeX is the "typesetting system intended for the creation of beautiful books --- and especially for books that contain a lot of mathematics" written by Donald E. Knuth. LaTeX is a version of TeX which uses high level macros in an attempt to reduce the user's involvement with various details of the layout and typesetting process; this imposes certain constraints and limitations. TeX is a complicated software system with great power and, subsequently, great detail; it is not a magic program for the uninitiated or impatient. acs.ucsd.edu /info/tex.php   (1803 words)

TrueTeX Software -- Donald Knuth's Reward Check The particular bugs that I discovered in TeX and METAFONT were not functional, and Knuth placed a much lesser reward value on bugs which did not affect the correct working of the programs. In creating my translations of TeX from the WEB source to the C language, which at that time were the only such versions, my automatic translator/compiler surprised me when it identified the program statements as redundant. The TeX corpus is a shining gem in the technological revolution of computing in the 20th century. truetex.com /knuthchk.htm   (677 words)

The comp.text.tex FAQ TeX is a software system written by Donald Knuth to typeset text, especially text containing mathematics. LaTeX is a set of macros written in TeX, designed to simplify the the typesetting of a document by allowing the user to concentrate on the content and structure of the document rather than the exact appearance of the finished product. For those of you curious about the change, here's what happened: in versions of TeX before 3.0 the hyphenation algorithm would not break a word if the part before the break was not at least two characters long, and the part after the break at least three characters long. www.ucc.ie /info/TeX/faq.html   (5753 words)

TeX Frequently Asked Questions -- question label "whatTeX"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) TeX is a typesetting system written by Donald E. Knuth, who says in the Preface to his book on TeX (see books about TeX) that it is “intended for the creation of beautiful books — and especially for books that contain a lot of mathematics”. Furthermore, the WEB system provides mechanisms to port TeX to new operating systems and computers; and in order that one may have some confidence in the ports, Knuth supplied a test by means of which one may judge the fidelity of a TeX system. TeX and its documents are therefore highly portable. www.tex.ac.uk /cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=whatTeX   (259 words)

U36: Introduction to TeX TeX is a text processor which is suitable for the preparation of papers, books, theses, etc. It is especially suited to material with a high mathematical content. A 'primitive' is one of TeX's basic commands, a control-sequence is a command which groups together a series of primitives or other control-sequences for the convenience of the user. TeX has a default page size which assumes that output is to American sized paper, and provides a 1 inch border at the top and bottom and at either side. www.cam.ac.uk /cs/docs/leaflets/u36   (4381 words)

Interview: Donald E. Knuth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) TeX was one of the first big projects that was released as free software and had a major impact. When I was writing papers, using math formulas in TeX, I just typed in the commands and out came the math and it looked pretty good to me. It shouldn't have been surprising, but it definitely struck me how much attention you paid to the best mathematics typesetting of past centuries. But it seems to me that TeX's model is actually a way to be better in both of those regards than the way that the Web has been evolving, because you do have at least the potential for semantic markup, and then you get the fact that you know what the presentation will be. www.advogato.org /article/28.html   (5615 words)
