LaTeX
( , commonly pronounced as or , styled as
L
a
T
e
X
, and a shortening of
Lamport
TeX
) is a
word processor
and a
document markup language
. It is distinguished from typical word processors such as
Microsoft Word
,
LibreOffice Writer
and
Apple Pages
in that the writer uses
plain text
as opposed to
formatted text
, relying on markup tagging conventions to define the general structure of a document (such as article, book, and letter), to stylise text throughout a document (such as bold and italic), and to add
citations
and
cross-referencing
. A TeX distribution such as
TeX Live
or
MikTeX
is used to produce an output file (such as
PDF
or
DVI
) suitable for printing or
digital distribution
.
