LaTeX
is a document preparation system and document markup language. LaTeX
uses the TeX typesetting program for formatting its output and is itself
written in the TeX macro language. LaTeX is not the name of a particular editing program, but refers to
the encoding or tagging conventions that are used in LaTeX documents.
Almost any editing program or word-processor may be
used to write LaTeX documents, although there are many editing programs
written specially to make using LaTeX easy. Interactive websites and
smartphone apps are increasingly generalizing and simplifying the tasks of writing documents with LaTeX.
One of the draws of LaTeX as a piece of software and a document preparation system is its maturity. It has been used as a writing environment by a diverse community of writers for several decades. As such, it has evolved into an effective and powerful writing tool.

LaTeX
is widely used in academia. It is also used as the primary method of
displaying formulas on Wikipedia. As a primary or intermediate format,
e.g., translating DocBook and other XML-based formats to PDF, LaTeX is used because of the high quality of
typesetting achievable by TeX. The typesetting system offers
programmable desktop publishing features and extensive facilities for automating most aspects of typesetting and desktop publishing,
including numbering and cross-referencing, tables and figures, page
layout and bibliographies.
