[[Category:Encyclopedia]]'''TeX''' (the X stands for the greek Χ letter and so pronounced as ''ch'' in te''ch''nics, and written with a lowercase 'e' in imitation of the logo) is a [[wp:typesetting|typesetting]] language and system designed and mostly written by [[wp:Donald Knuth|Donald E. Knuth]].
See wikipedia [[wp:TeX|TeX]] for more.
Normally a ''bare'' TeX is hardly usable to typeset, so ''macro packages'' are often used. The basic macro package given as default is [[plainTeX]]; a very common and widely used macro package is [[LaTeX]], but there are many.
