LaTeX
English
editEtymology
editUsually thought to be a blend of Lamport + TeX, the former being the surname of its creator, Leslie Lamport.[1]
Pronunciation
editProper noun
editLaTeX
- (computer languages) A digital typesetting system for mathematical and scientific formulae layout, based on TeX; often stylized as LaTeX.
Notes
edit- ^ The final consonant of TeX is intended by its developer to be pronounced similar to loch or Bach. The letters of the name are meant to represent the capital Greek letters Τ (tau), Ε (epsilon), and Χ (chi), as TeX is an abbreviation of Ancient Greek τέχνη (tékhnē), which is also the root word of technical. However, English speakers often pronounce it /tɛk/, like the first syllable of technical.
