LaTeX is a document preparation system capable of producing professional quality typesetting output. It is especially suited for documents with complex structures and mathematical material, and is the preferred format of many academic publishers. But modern LaTeX packages allow for the creation of material beyond academic papers and theses, and for various disciplines: presentation slides, leaflets, oversized posters, graph plots, fillable PDF forms, electronic circuit diagrams, chemical structures and reactions, DNA sequences, linguistic syntax trees, even a Gantt chart or two for the project managers! Lian Tze is the author of the usmthesis, mmuthesis and umalayathesis LaTeX packages (http://liantze.penguinattack.org/latextypesetting.html). She is a frequent contributor to the Malaysian LaTeX User Group (http://latex-my.blogspot.com).

Where Would I Want to Use LTEX?
A
Documents with complex structures
Lots of mathematics (or other speci c needs)
When publishers require them
Batch processing
Back-end of other applications

How Do I Use It?
Write a plain text LTEX le (.tex)
A
Run it through pdflatex or xelatex → PDF output
(or latex + dvips + ps2pdf for DVI + PS + PDF)
Run bibtex and/or makeindex to process bibliographies, indices
Re-run pdflatex to resolve references and pointers
