What is LaTeX?
LaTeX is an advanced alternative to word processors such as Microsoft Word. It was originally created for documents containing a lot of mathematical formulas, but is suitable for almost any kinds of articles, reports, theses, books and other publications.
LaTeX documents are created in a different manner from what we are used to with Word and similar programmes: The document is set in code, rather than through direct editing and formatting on the screen (WISYWIG).
