The TeX and LaTeX typesetting systems have become the de facto standard for preparing complex technical documents in print and electronic form. “Digital Typography Using LaTeX” collects together the most frequently required ‘how to’ information and tools. The book describes recent developments in multilingual typesetting using TeX that make it easy for users to prepare documents in their own languages and alphabets. In addition, it demonstrates how to develop a single document for use in camera-ready copy, World Wide Web pages, and portable electronic documents.
