A free tool that may interest people who typeset documents

MiKTeX is an up-to-date implementation of LaTex/ Tex along with other related programs. It is free because it is open source, which also means you may be able to redistribute this program under certain circumstances. This piece of software is suitable for document typesetters who wish to add complex mathematical formulas into their documents.

Donald Ervin Knuth created Tex, which is a typesetting system that allows people to create beautiful looking books. He created it with the hopes it would help create beautiful books; even if those same books contained mathematics. The setup wizard will walk you through the installation process. It is just as easy to install this software as it is any modern game that you may buy from GOG.com or Steam. When the software is installed on your computer, you will find that you have a complete set of add-ons that will now be available for you to use when typesetting your documents. It includes additions such as different styles, new programs and alternative fonts.Only install the packages you needYou get to choose which packages you download and install because you are the one responsible for manually keeping your MiKTeX software up to date.
