The standard Adobe `35' core PostScript fonts (including Times, Palatino, Century Schoolbook, Helvetica, Zapf Calligraphic etc.)\ can be used even without a PostScript printer, thanks to the GhostScript and GSview programs which print PostScript output on any printer. The typographics of the \TeX\ formatting engine are very precise: it works internally in microunits ($\approx$53.6\AA), resulting in great accuracy in positioning. \LaTeX\ can use Anglo-American, Didot, or Adobe points, or metric or imperial units, or any mixture. \LaTeX\ also comes with a collection of specialist typefaces for technical, linguistic, and literary typesetting (see adjoining sampler), and the complete mathematics fonts of Computer Modern, Euler, Concrete, and Times. Non-Latin types include Japanese, Chinese, Devenagari, Urdu, Thai, Vietnamese, Coptic, Greek, and many other languages and alphabets, including mixed bi-directional Arabic and Hebrew.

Automated crossreferencing means that tables and figures can be moved around the document and will always renumber themselves and all their points of reference accordingly. There are powerful controls for tabular settings, allowing both simple and complex designs, with fixed or auto-adjusting spacing, row and column spans, and colouring.

Formal tables and Figures are automatically numbered, and can be captioned, labelled, crossreferenced, and included in a List of Tables and List of Figures. Complex tabular matter can span pages and can be printed landscape (sideways) while retaining the portrait (upright) orientation of the caption and pagenumber. Simple tabular matter can appear anywhere, and stays where it is put (does not float like a formal table), and can also be used for the construction of logos. \medskip\noindent\textbf{Figures} can contain textual or graphical illustrations. Pictures can be included with scaling, rotation, and clipping: the \LaTeX\ default uses the industry standard Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format, while pdf\LaTeX\ can use JPG, PNG, or PDF graphics. \textit{ImageMagick}, \textit{GIMP}, \textit{Inkscape} or other graphics packages can be used for drawing and converting images. \LaTeX\ also has a CAD-like vector language for simple diagrams, and there are packages for typesetting musical notation, electronic circuits, flowcharts, and other graphical notations. \subsection*{\sffamily Crossreferences} The crossreferencing features let you give a name to any thing you want to refer to (table, figure, section, chapter, page, item, etc), and then refer to it by that name anywhere in the document. Each crossreference is automatically updated so that no matter how much you edit the text, the numbers remain correct. The same method is used for automated indexing, glossary, table of contents, list of figures, list of tables, and bibliographic references. The \BibTeX\ bibliographic database lets you keep all your references separately from your documents, and have them extracted and automatically formatted to any of the standard styles, using numeric, in-text, footnote, or endnote methods. \par\medskip \centering\includegraphics[width=.85\columnwidth]{diagram} \par\smallskip\begingroup\flushright{\tiny After R.J.

Unlike some wordprocessor manufacturers' proprietary file formats, \LaTeX\ uses plaintext (\textsc{ascii} or Unicode) files which can be created and updated with any editor anywhere, and moved between different systems without danger of information loss or corruption. The system has been carefully designed so that documents written years ago can still be typeset. Because the file format has remained virtually unchanged, your investment in intellectual property cannot be damaged by vendors' arbitrary or planned obsolescence, or by changes in versions or formats. \begin{quote}\sffamily\lite\small \LaTeX\ material originally produced for paper printing, no matter how long ago, can quickly and easily be made available for today's Web access. I have just recently had to provide a journal from 1987--1996 in a format available for the Web. The opening page was converted into HTML for quick scanning on the Web, while the complete articles, with all typesetting and font features (including Hebrew, phonetics, and Greek), were available for viewing in PDF just by re-running the \LaTeX\ files. The biggest advantage in publishing production is that similar coding of files means anyone can do any journal~--- there is no need to learn new sets of commands for style variations. Changes in platforms have no effect on production as \LaTeX\ is available for all main operating systems. It is possible to separate the writing tasks (creation of text) from the design/layout issues (spacing, fonts, etc), which allows the author simply to identify types of elements (heading levels, foot/endnotes, citations, etc) without getting bogged down trying to remember the text shape and font selections for each element. \par \quoted{Christina Thiele, CCS Publishing} \end{quote} \renewcommand{\refname}{Documentation} \scriptsize \nocite{*} \bibliography{brochure} \bibliographystyle{plain} The book by Lamport is the user manual for \LaTeX: make sure you get the second edition for \LaTeXe.
