§ 22:  LaTeX for Scientific Documents


The LaTeX package (which is really a macro package composed of primitive TeX commands) is commonly used by scientists and engineers for its high quality typesetting of even complicated equations. Because it is of high quality, yet with highly transportable and compact source code, it is also used by some journals and book publishers for their publications.

After creating a LaTeX document, you can convert it to postscript for high quality printing, convert it to HTML for a Web document or, of course, send the source code to your favorite journal for publication. We will discuss:

  2. Creating LaTeX Documents
  3. Converting LaTeX to HTML for Web Documents
