| • | ]] TEX, written as TeX in plain text, is a typesetting system created by Donald Knuth. Together with theMETAFONT language for font description and the Computer Modern typeface, it was designed with two main goals in mind: firstly, to allow anybody to write high-quality books using a reasonable amount of effort, and, secondly, to provide a system that would give the exact same results on all computers, now and in the future. It is Free software and is popular in academia, especially in the mathematics, physics and computer science communities. It has largely displaced Unix troff, the other favored formatter, in many Unix installations. 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.
