LaTeX is the premiere software system used for formatting technical information. It is considered the system of choice for writers in mathematics, the sciences, computer science, and engineering who need to present formulas and technical infomation in a clear and elegant manner. It is also increasingly used by nontechnical writers interested in superior printing and document presentation. However, users of this ubiquitous software need to know much more than how to use basic style files or LaTeX commands. They need to know how to integrate Tex--the original version of LaTeX--with other commercially available software and hardware. People also need clear, accurate and brief instructions and solutions to many common problems. This unique book is intended to provide these valuable aids. It also tells how to use LaTex or Tex with files prepared with everyday office software such as Lotus or Wordperfect, and how to set up software links with Acrobat and hyper-text using LaTex for internet communication.
This book investigates the technical integration of TeX and LaTeX systems with external software and hardware to optimize document production. Alan Hoenig, an experienced technical writer and TeX expert, provides a comprehensive framework for users who have moved beyond basic command usage. The text addresses the necessity of bridging the gap between TeX's specialized typesetting capabilities and standard office productivity tools. By focusing on practical interoperability, the author establishes a methodology for creating professional-grade technical documents in diverse digital environments.
What You Will Find
Experts recognize this text as a practical resource for users seeking to extend the functionality of their typesetting systems beyond standard templates. Readers frequently note the technical density of the prose, which serves as a functional manual for those managing complex document workflows.
