Abstract
LATEXis a high-quality typesetting system widely used for producing scientific
and mathematical documents due to its powerful handling of formulas and bib-
liographies. Developed by Leslie Lamport in the 1980s, it builds on Donald
Knuth’s TeX typesetting system. LaTeX provides a robust framework that al-
lows users to focus on the content while leaving the formatting to the system.
This is especially advantageous for complex documents, such as academic pa-
pers, theses, and books, as it ensures consistency and professional presentation.
The markup language of LaTeX is plain text, which makes it easy to use version
control systems and collaborate with others.
