Digital typesetting consists in darkening the appropriate pixels (tiny squares) of this mesh, in patterns corresponding to each character and symbol of the text being set.
Designed to simplify the input of mathematical material in particular and to format the output according to any of various preset style specifications.
This book can be used either as a tool to learn just enough TEX to write standardmathematical papers of modest complexity or as a building block to prepare for more ambitious typesetting projects.
TEX is now widely used for computer typesetting in mathematics, science, and engineering. This book is a carefully paced, tutorial introduction for people first learning the system.
Consequently, interest in TEX has surged. What is needed at this point is a book that teaches step-by-step how to use TEX, illustrating each step with relevant examples. This is exactly what S. v. Bechtolsheim's book does.
It explains why TEX approaches its subject in the way it does, and provides the "context" into which it fits. Plain T[EX is the common starting point for TEX users and can be extended or modified to suit individual needs.
... TEX implementation as described in this paper since it allows to display a complete formatted A4 page on one half of the screen leaving the other half for an editor and TEX window ; see below . The operating system is called PNX which ...
