This is a reference work for the TeX typesetting language. It is valuable for people who want to write LaTeX macros and other customizations of TeX.
The last two decades have witnessed a revolution in the realm of typography, with the virtual disappearance of hot-lead typesetting in favor of the so-called digital typesetting. The principle behind the new technology is simple: imagine a very fine mesh superimposed on a sheet of paper. 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. The actual darkening is done by some printing device, say a laser printer or phototypesetter, which must be told exactly where the ink should go. Since the mesh is very fine-the dashes surrounding this sentence are some six pixels thick, and more than 200 pixels long-the printer can only be controlled by a computer program, which takes a "high-level" description of the page in terms of text, fonts, and formatting commands, and digests all of that into "low-level" commands for the printer. TEX is such a program, created by Donald E. Knuth, a computer scientist at Stanford University.
For all TeX users who want to learn to program complicated macros themselves, TeX By Topic is an invaluable resource. The book is packed with highly original, practical, and useful ideas along with detailed explanations of the mechanisms underlying each TeX macro. Includes a thorough cross reference system.
Contains a list of the most common problems that users encounter and their solutions. Organized by function and thoroughly indexed. Includes a complete description of control sequences. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
From the best-selling author of The Outsiders, S.E. Hinton's Tex explores friendships, conflict, depression, self-destructive behavior, and truth and acceptance. This edition includes a new and exclusive Author's Note. Easygoing and reckless, Tex, likes everyone and everything, especially his horse, Negrito, and Johnny Collins' blue-eyed sister, Jamie. Life with his older brother, Mason, would be just about perfect if only he would stop complaining about Pop, who hasn't been home in five months. While Mason worries about paying the bills and getting a basketball scholarship--his ticket out of Oklahoma--Tex just seems to attract trouble. When everything seems to be falling apart, how can Tex find a way to keep things together?
This text explains how to integrate Tex - the original version of LaTeX - with other commercially available software and hardware, solve user-problems and set-up software links using LaTex for Internet communication.
A complete course in TeX that will be suitable for users of TeX who want to advance beyond the basics. The initial chapters introduce the essential workings of TeX and the later chapters cover a wide range of advanced topics such as macros, conditionals, tokens, leaders, file I/O, the line- and page-break algorithms, and output routines.
