- TeX is a programming language for typeset documents, not software, used for precision typography and mathematical equations in sciences.
- Tectonic converts TeX files to PDFs and uses web-download capabilities via Dataverse Project-hosted LaTeX files.
- The project name 'Tectonic' implies a major change or relief for TeX users, with roots in ancient Greek for 'carpenter'.
- Tectonic builds on work from LaTeX, TeXLive, XeTeX, and (x)dvipdfm-x, and is licensed under the MIT License, with other TeX components under open-source licenses.
