A structured text formatting and typesetting macro package The LaTeX macros encourage writers to think about the content of their documents, rather than the form It contains all the capabilities of TeX
Acronym for Louisiana-Texas Experiment, sponsored by the MMS of the Department of the Interior LATEX was a six-year project with the principal objective of identifying the key dynamical processes governing the circulation, transport, and cross-shelf mixing of the waters on the Texas-Louisiana shelf The program had three components: LATEX A - shelf circulation and transport processes (administered by Texas A&M University); LATEX B - Mississippi River plum hydrography (administered by Louisiana State University); and LATEX C - Gulf of Mexico eddy circulation (administered by Science Applications International Corporation) [http: //ocean tamu edu/LATEX/welcome html]
A series of macros for the text description language TeX, used to create sophisticated typesetting effects It is especially well suited to equations, formulas, and long academic papers with many footnotes and references and is generally available on Unix systems The MATH element of HTML draws heavily on LaTeX There are a number of FAQs available on TeX and LaTeX
The LaTeX document preparation system is a special version of Donald Knuth's TeX program LaTeX adds to TeX a collection of commands that simplify typesetting by letting the user concentrate on the structure rather than on formatting commands This is why we have chosen LaTeX as the standard for all ``structured'' elements (e g , skeletons, arrays, lists, figures, etc ) generated by the Open Modline's Reporter In that sense, LaTeX can be considered as a (widely available) precursor to the SGML standard of structured document description that does not deal at all with document format and look LaTeX uses TeX as internal engine, just like Qnet uses Qnap2, and so the installation of LaTeX is in fact bounded to the installation of TeX in the first place LaTeX is available for a wide variety of computer systems
This glue is used to secure a heavy cloth backing to hooked rugs, and to secure face yarns Latex backed rugs must not be cleaned using petroleum based solvents
Leslie Lamport's document preparation system based on TeX It adds commands to TeX to simplify typesetting, so that the user can concentrate on the structure of the text rather than on formatting LaTeX was developed at SRI International's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory See LaTeX, A Document Preparation System, Leslie Lamport, Addison-Wesley 1986, ISBN 0-201-15790-X A Guide to LaTeX, H Kopka & P Daly, Addison-Wesley 1993, ISBN 0-201-56889-6, or NASA's on-line help at http: //molscat giss nasa gov/LaTeX/ The 1995-1996 revision and update known as LaTeX2e is documented on-line at http: //www math upenn edu: 80/latex/latex2e html
A set of TeX document layout macros which can be used with TeX commands to relatively easily use TeX to format a variety of types of documents See TeX and LaTeX
Latex is a substance obtained from some kinds of trees, which is used to make products like rubber and glue. Any of several natural or synthetic colloidal suspensions (see colloid). Some latexes occur naturally in the cells of plants such as chicle and rubber trees. They are complex mixtures of organic compounds, including various gum resins, fats, or waxes and, in some instances, poisonous compounds, suspended in a watery medium with dissolved salts, sugars, tannins, alkaloids, enzymes, and other substances from which the latex (or natural rubber, the only available rubber until 1926) can be concentrated, coagulated, and vulcanized. Synthetic latexes (e.g., neoprene), made by emulsion polymerization from styrene-butadiene copolymer, acrylate resins, polyvinyl acetate, or other materials, are used as paints and coatings; the plastic, dispersed in the water, forms films by fusion as the water evaporates
Preformatted version of TeX; command-based text formatter; author types directives into text file, then runs latex on the file, and gets a printable, formatted dvi file Easier to use than TeX, but still a pain if you aren't used to it Not WYSIWYG Good for formatting formulas See latex2html
A milky usually white fluid that is produced by cells of various seed plants (as of the milkweed, spurge, and poppy families) and is the source of different forms of rubber
Also known as rubber or natural latex Latex is a milky fluid derived from the rubber tree It is used in a wide variety of consumer products, including rubber gloves, tubing, rubber bands, etc
A milky-white, fine dispersion of a solid resin in an aqueous medium Also used to describe water-thinned paints, the principal vehicle of which is latex
A popular macro package for use with TeX LaTeX provides a simpler and more versatile interface to TeX An EthioLaTeX package was developed by EthiO Systems
Natural rubber latex is a milky sap-like substance produced by the rubber tree called Hevea brasiliensis, found in Southeast Asia, India and South America When the trunks of these rubber trees are tapped, they produce latex This latex is then collected and used in manufacturing
Typically a solution of water and polymer used as a coating, binder, or adhesive Many customers try to use latex/silicate blends to produce a more flexible silicate coating
A molding, and sometimes a casting, elastomer which is applied as a liquid solution of pre-vulcanized rubber particles As soon as the solvent evaporates, the rubber particles bond into a solid layer
