LaTeX

language, text, tool (Lamport TeX) Leslie Lamport

[email protected]'s document preparation system built on

top of TeX. LaTeX was developed at SRI International's

Computer Science Laboratory and was built to resemble

Scribe.

LaTeX adds commands to simplify typesetting and lets the user

concentrate on the structure of the text rather than on

formatting commands.

BibTeX is a LaTeX package for bibliographic citations.

Lamport's LaTeX book has an exemplary index listing every

symbol, concept and example in the book. The index in the,

now obsolete, first edition includes (on page 221) the

mysterious entry "Gilkerson, Ellen, 221". The second edition

(1994) has an entry for "infinite loop" instead.
