This also implies, which is indeed the fact, that \TeX\ is +powerful at typesetting formulae, a headache of all typists. + +Leslie Lamport from DEC programmed a collection of macros in \TeX. +These macros together with some things contributed by other authors make up a +\TeX\ database package which is known as \LaTeX. \LaTeX\ is actually designed +for those who want to typeset documents with the high typographic quality of +\TeX\ but do not want to learn the sophisticated \TeX\ programming. For a +non-computer-science graduate student or faculty member, who may need to +typeset a paper, resume, thesis, book, manual or a letter with high quality and +who does not mind learning a command-driven text formatter, \LaTeX\ is probably +an ideal package. The \LaTeX\ had the major update from \LaTeX\ 2.09 to +\LaTeXe\ in 1994. + +This sample \LaTeXe\ file will serve as a user guide to the \LaTeXe\ document +class for theses at Univ. of Pittsburgh. As a modified version of Leslie +Lamport's \texttt{sample2e.tex} file is included, this file will also serve to +help beginners understand how some of the important \LaTeXe\ commands work. + + +\vspace{1em} +\section*{DESCRIPTORS} +\vspace{1em} +\begin{center} +\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.5} +\begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{p{0.47\textwidth}p{0.47\textwidth}} + \LaTeXe\ document class & + Pitt engineering thesis \\ + Pitt standard thesis & + Thesis document sample file \\ + University of Pittsburgh +\end{tabular*} +\end{center} |
