'''LaTeX''' is a [[computer language]] for [[mathematical]] [[markup]]. It was designed and developed by Leslie Lamport<ref>Gratzer, G. ''First Steps in LaTeX''. Birkhauser, Boston; p. xiv (1999) [http://books.google.com/books?id=mLdg5ZdDKToC&lpg=PP1&pg=PR14#v=onepage&q&f=false]</ref> as an extension of TeX, an existing typesetting language developed by [[Donald Knuth]]. LaTeX is used nearly universally by [[mathematician]]s, [[physicist]]s, [[engineer]]s, [[computer scientist]]s and other scientists in need of technical [[formatting]] in their publications.
