[Leaplist] Presentation: TeX, LaTeX and LyX thursday night

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I'm giving a presentation on TeX, LaTeX and LyX at tomorrow night's GoLUG 
meeting. It's 7pm, 8/2/2007 at the Knowledge Shop at 1000 North Orlando 
Avenue (17-92) Suite C in Corporate Square in Winter Park. In other words, 
17/92 and Lee Road. Here's a map:

TeX is a low level, Turing complete programming language, developed by Donald 
Knuth for the purpose of typesetting, including typesetting of mathmatical 
equations, tables and images. It's pretty easy to learn, and you'll get a 
good start toward learning it at the presentation. 

LaTeX is essentially a framework or macro set for TeX. It's most often dealt 
with by finding pre-made packages to accomplish what you want. Examples will 
be given at the presentation.

LyX is a graphical, fairly WYSIWYG front end to LaTeX. You'll see it in 
action, and you'll see some of my books created with LyX.

If you need to write documents, and want those documents to be typeset 
uniformly and well, you should attend this presentation.

Thanks
