*LaTeX (/ˈlɑːtɛx/ LAH-tekh or /ˈleɪtɛx/ LAY-tekh, often stylized as $`\LaTeX`$) is a software system for **document preparation**. When writing, **the writer uses plain text as opposed to the formatted text** found in "What You See Is What You Get" word processors like Microsoft Word, LibreOffice Writer and Apple Pages. The writer uses **markup tagging conventions to define the general structure of a document** (such as article, book, and letter), to stylise text throughout a document (such as bold and italics), and to add citations and cross-references. **A TeX distribution such as TeX Live** or MiKTeX is used to **produce an output file** (such as **PDF** or DVI) suitable for printing or digital distribution.* @[Wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX)
