What is LaTeX?
Everyone is familiar with word processors like Microsoft Word or LibreOffice. These programs are known as WYSIWYG word processors. What you see is what you get. All of the computer code which controls the formatting is kept behind-the-scenes. WYSIWYG word processors are great for most users who need to type the occasional letter or two. LaTeX is for making professional documents that make your work look its best. In short, LaTeX is a programming language.
My goal in this guide is to provide all the information you need to get LaTeX set up on your system in a way that you will actually want to use it. I think the key to successful implementation of LaTeX in your workflow is having a comfortable setup. This means a setup that you understand, control, and enjoy using.
