A batch-formatting language developed by Donald Knuth. Notable for its careful line and page breaking, high-quality hyphenation, and capabilities for setting mathematics.

A free typesetting system by Donald Knuth.

A powerful macro-based text formatter written by Donald Knuth, popular in the scientific community. Knuth began work on TeX because of problems he experienced with traditional typesetting in volumes I--III of his monumental Art of Computer Programming. The language was effectively frozen in 1985. Well-known extensions to TeX include: BibTeX for bibliographies (distributed with LaTeX), LaTeX: Lamport TeX - incorporates document styles, MuTeX for typesetting music, PiCTeX for pictures, and SliTeX for slides (distributed with LaTeX). TeX can be obtained from the labrea.stanford.edu archive at Stanford University.

(pronounced "teck") A computer typesetting system, designed by Donald E Knuth, that aims to produce results comparable to "hot metal" typesetting when using a modern raster-image laser typesetter. The system includes many innovative techniques, particularly it's algorithm for breaking paragraphs into lines in an optimal manner. However, it is very low-level, and many users employ higher-level packages such as AMS-TEX and LaTEX. The source code has been released to the public domain, and is available for the Amiga, with many text files for the Amiga being supplied in TEX format.

A text formatting package: TeX is a typesetting package developed by Donald Knuth which is particularly well suited for scientific, mathematical or other technical writings. See TeX and LaTeX. See also LaTeX.

Text formatting and typesetting, see Section 8.1.2.

Open-source typesetting system, used in the PassiveTeX FO processor.

TEX, written as TeX in plain text, is a typesetting system created by Donald Knuth. It is popular in academia, especially in the mathematics, physics and computer science communities. It has largely displaced Unix troff, the other favored formatter, in many Unix installations.

Popular UNIX text formatting and typesetting tool.

A typesetting system which is used to create highly structured documents which may contain alot of mathematics. A number of popular TeX macro packages exist but the most notable is LaTeX.

Pronounced “tech”; a typesetting program developed by the American computer scientist Donald E. Knuth in the late 1970s specifically for scientific texts. Unlike today's standard layout software, such as Quark Xpress or InDesign, TeX is not based on a graphic user interface, but processes texts containing formatting instructions. The software is available for numerous computer types and uses its own fonts that are developed using the Metafont program.

TEX files describe the layout of a typeset document in the TeX programming language,[ 132] as defined by The TeXbook [ kn:texbook]. Most people use some form of macro package on top of TeX to make the language easier to swallow. If a TeX file begins with \documentstyle{} or has \begin{document} somewhere near the top, it is probably a LaTeX document. Otherwise, look for the \input commands to see what macro packages are being included. Documents that do not appear to be LaTeX documents and do not appear to \input special macro packages may be using a special format. Formats are fast-loading precompiled macro packages. If you know the name of the format file, you can tell TeX to use it by typing & format-name as a parameter to TeX.

TeX formats text and command files and outputs typesetter independent files. It is supported by several specific formatting systems including LaTeX.

A software system written by Donald Knuth for typesetting documents.

A method of encoding text that precisely describes its appearance when printed, especially good for mathematical notation. LaTeX is a version of TeX.

TeX or LaTeX File or Texture File

A direct yarn numbering system that gives the linear density, as being the mass in grams per 1000 meters of yarn length.

The unit of the tex count system. This is a direct fixed-length count system which is used often in Britain. See count.

A measurement of the linear density (thickness) of yarn, defined as the weight in grams of 1000 metres of yarn.

Describes the linear density of a textile.

A unit for expressing linear density, equal to the mass in grams of 1 km of yarn, filament, fiber or other textile strand.

(grams per kilometre) A direct decimal count system for describing the linear density (mass per unit length) of fibres, filaments and yarns. The lower the number, the finer the thread.

A measure of linear density; the weight in grams of 1,000 metres of yarn.

The weight in grams of 1 km of material.

the international yarn count. The tex of any yarn is the weight in grams of 1000 metres of yarn.
