LaTeX What is LaTeX File Format

LaTeX is a macro package built on top of TeX that simplifies document creation. LaTeX source files use a higher‑level markup language and include features for automatic numbering, cross‑references, bibliographies, and many ready‑made document classes. LaTeX files are also plain text and are compiled by a TeX engine to generate the final output.

PDF What is PDF File Format
