For context, LaTeX is a document markup language that enables users to prepare documents using TeX's typesetting program. Mathematicians, scientists, engineers, and many other professionals from academia and industry use LaTeX as a primary or intermediate format for producing high-quality documents. One of the reasons for LaTeX's popularity is the quality of typesetting that is achievable.
LaTeX is a programmable desktop publishing system that automates most aspects of typesetting and desktop publishing. This includes features such as numbering and cross-referencing, table and figures, page layout, and bibliographies. LaTeX is intended to provide a high-level language that accesses the power of TeX. It comprises a collection of TeX macros and a program that processes LaTeX documents.
LaTeX was originally written in the early 1980s by Leslie Lamport, and it has become the dominant method for using TeX. The current version of LaTeX is LaTeX2e. The term LaTeX refers only to the language in which documents are written, not to the text editor itself. Thus, to create a document in LaTeX, a .tex file must be created using some form of text editor.
DeSiGLE has the following requirements: GTK+ version 2.10.x, the gnome/python bindings, and pypoppler. The editor provides an intuitive interface to help users quickly and easily create high-quality documents in LaTeX. Its diverse features have attracted many LaTeX users to utilize it for their document preparation tasks.
