tetex
Description
teTeX is an implementation of TeX for Linux or UNIX systems. TeX takes
a text file and a set of formatting commands as input and creates a
typesetter independent .dvi (DeVice Independent) file as output.
Usually, TeX is used in conjunction with a higher level formatting
package like LaTeX or PlainTeX, since TeX by itself is not very
user-friendly.
Install teTeX if you want to use the TeX text formatting system. If
you are installing teTeX, you will also need to install tetex-afm (a
PostScript(TM) font converter for TeX), tetex-dvilj (for converting
.dvi files to HP PCL format for printing on HP and HP compatible
printers), tetex-dvips (for converting .dvi files to PostScript format
for printing on PostScript printers), tetex-latex (a higher level
formatting package which provides an easier-to-use interface for TeX)
and tetex-xdvi (for previewing .dvi files in X). Unless you're an
expert at using TeX, you'll also want to install the tetex-doc
package, which includes the documentation for TeX.
