This will try to explain them very shortly: +\begin{description} +\item[engine] This is the program that does all the actual work. The original program is \TeX, a famous development is pdf\TeX, while Lua\TeX\ is the latest successor. +\item[format] A format is a (large) collection of abbreviations (macros) that make the life easy when working with \TeX. The most commonly used formats are \LaTeX, Con\TeX t and plain\TeX. The latter one is a minimal set of macros provided by Don Knuth. Formats can be combined with different engines, exploiting the special abilities of these engines. A format is first a collection of text files, but can be compiled into a binary format that can be read in faster by the engine. +\item[distribution] In addition to formats, a large set of suppelmentary files can be used to work with \TeX, called \emph{packages} for \LaTeX, \emph{modules} for Con\TeX t etc. To get all needed files in a convinient way, there are distributions that contain everything and are (or should be) easy to install. Examples are MiKTeX and \TeX~live. +\end{description} + \section{How to contribute} -I hope one day this document would become the standard reference for questions like ”What program do I need for …?“, ”What's the difference between ...\TeX\ and ...\TeX?“, ”Why is it called …?“ etc. +I hope one day this document would become the standard reference for questions like ”What program do I need for …?“, ”What's the difference between …\TeX\ and …\TeX?“, ”Why is it called …?“ etc. -To get to this point, I need some help of people having read more documentation or even developed some of the programs mentioned here themselves.
