LaTeX

LaTeX (pronounced Lay-Tech or Lah-Tech) is a text markup language that can effectively process notes, chapter numbers, and other notation in a clear and consistent manner. LaTeX can simultaneously make documents in print, PDF, and HTML form. This is particularly important because UF requires all new theses and dissertations to be submitted in PDF form.

If you are just looking for a cursory overview of a few of the nifty things LaTeX can do, see the pages below. Have an idea for something that should be on these pages?Contact us.
