Paquetage "tetex"


Základ systému teTeX

After installing teTeX you will find a large selection of documentation for TeX, LaTeX, and various layout styles under /usr/share/texmf/doc.

TeX (pronounced tech) is an interpreter for text formating and was developed by Donald E. Knuth. It works with control and macro commands on a text file. Working with TeX is similar to good old typesetting methods. LaTeX or better LaTeX2e is a complex macro package which removes the cryptical TeX interface, and does most of the work for the user.

TeX uses special fonts produced by the MetaFont program. Various printer drivers and an X11 viewer is also included in this package. The teTeX package is based on the standard TeX package of Karl Berry which makes configuration much easier. It's also possible to use PostScript fonts; a real PostScript printer is required however. If the ghostscript (gs) package is installed all drivers for printing and viewing can use these fonts. Note, however that the fonts included in the ghostscript package are not identical to Adobe's PostScript fonts. The copyright prohibits us from including them on the CD.

Beside these features there are the programs MakeIndex (for producing indexes), BibTeX (for literature data-processing), and the script xtexsh (requires tcl/tk).

Note the differences between LaTeX2.09 and LaTeX2e. LaTeX2e can process original LaTeX2.09 text but style files that require LaTeX2.09 internal macros may not work correctly. Under /usr/share/texmf/doc/latex/base/ you will find the documentation for LaTeX2e. New users should review the documentation stored there.

The teTeX package from Thomas Esser includes a full texmf tree, many programs (tex, dvips, ...), shell scripts configuration, and a big collection of documentations. This package is simple configured by the script texconfig and has thereby multi-language options.

Do NOT install this package together with ntex!

teTeX is NOT an upgrade or update for the ntex package!!
