The Tex Showcase

11 hours ago

TeX, developed by Donald Knuth, is a powerful typesetting engine known for its exceptional quality in typesetting text and mathematical formulas, surpassing word processors like MS Word.
In a TeX setup, editing, typesetting, and displaying functions are separated; users write conceptually using macro packages like LaTeX or ConTeXt, allowing focus on content without worrying about layout.
The TeX showcase includes diverse examples, such as dynamic PDFs with JavaScript, interactive graphics, multilingual typesetting (e.g., Tengwar, Tibetan, Arabic), and practical applications like newsletters or genealogy books.
Some showcases demonstrate TeX's flexibility in creating special effects, embedding 3D objects, generating music scores, or producing beautiful book designs with fine typography control.
Submissions to the showcase require PDFs and optionally source files, with instructions for contributions via email, aiming to highlight TeX's capabilities across various domains.
