    Written & Oral Presentation: Computer Tools Aleksandar Donev Courant Institute, NYU1 [email protected] 1Course MATH-GA.2840-004, Spring 2018 February 7th, 2018 A. Donev (Courant Institute) Tools 2/7/2018 1 / 13 Outline 1 LaTex A. Donev (Courant Institute) Tools 2/7/2018 2 / 13 LaTex What is LaTex? Some content taken from Wikipedia. TeX is a typesetting system: \allow anybody to produce high-quality books using minimal effort, and to provide a system that would give exactly the same results on all computers, at any point in time." Knuth had the idea to use mathematics to typeset mathematics! LaTex is a markup language for technical writing, with special emphasis on math-heavy writing, built on top of Tex: \TeX handles the layout side, while LaTeX handles the content side for document processing." What's a markup language and how does it differ from WYSIWYG ("what you see is what you get") word processors like Microsoft Word? Compare to html, and contrast interpreted versus compiled languages. Using LaTex: write-format-preview (compare to code-compile-execute). A. Donev (Courant Institute) Tools 2/7/2018 3 / 13 LaTex Why LaTex? Advantages of LaTex: (interactive) Abstract: Separate presentation from content: focus on the content and not visual appearance. Portable: LaTex files are simple text files so perfectly portable and easy to open/edit/share/diff. Flexible: Change appearance/format by changing one word, e.g., the document class. Extensible: macros allow one to add new functionality. Any advantages of WYSIWYG? (interactive) LyX is a combination of the two: Focus on content but also see it on your screen! (Lyx Demo, including change tracking).

  • Conservative Conversion Between and Texmacs
    Conservative conversion between A L TEX and TEXMACS by Joris van der Hoevena, François Poulainb LIX, CNRS École polytechnique 91128 Palaiseau Cedex France a. Email: [email protected] b. Email: [email protected] April 15, 2014 Abstract Back and forth converters between two document formats are said to be conservative if the following holds: given a source document D, its conversion D0, a locally modied version M 0 of D0 and the back con- version M of M 0, the document M is a locally modied version of D. We will describe mechanisms for the implementation of such converters, A with the L TEX and TEXMACS formats as our guiding example. Keywords: Conservative document conversion, LATEX conversion, TEXMACS, mathematical editing A.M.S. subject classication: 68U15, 68U35, 68N99 1 Introduction The TEXMACS project [7, 10] aims at creating a free scientic oce suite with an integrated structured mathematical text editor [8], tools for graphical drawings and presentations, a spreadsheed, interfaces to various computer algebra sys- tems, and so on. Although TEXMACS aims at a typesetting quality which is at least as good as TEX and LATEX [14, 15], the system is not based on these latter systems. In particular, a new incremental typesetting engine was implemented from scratch, which allows documents to be edited in a wysiwyg and thereby more user friendly manner. This design choice made it also possible or at least easier to use TEXMACS as an interface for external systems, or as an editor for technical drawings. However, unlike existing graphical front-ends for LATEX such as LyX [2] or Scientific Workplace [23], native compatibility with LATEX is not ensured.
