内容説明
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.

内容説明
This text is a user-friendly introduction to TEX, the powerful typesetting system designed by Don Knuth. It is addressed primarily to beginners, but it contains much information that will be useful to aspiring TEX "wizards." The book is structured in such as way as to allow for the diversity of backgrounds that characterizes TEX users: authors in the sciences and in the humanities, secretaries and technical typists. It contains a careful explanation of all the fundamental concepts and commands, and also offers a wealth of annotated examples and "tricks of the trade" based on the authors' extensive experience with TEX. The last third of the book is devoted to a dictionary/index, summarizing and referencing the material in the text and going into greater depth in some areas. This reference book on computer applications, software and text processing is intended for TEX novices, typesetters and students in mathematics, computer science and physics.
