[nfbcs] LaTeX [was "Re: Computer science mentors?"]

[Doug Lee]

LaTeX is a MacPort. Not sure if it can be had also via Homebrew but I bet so. It's also available in Cygwin on Windows, and I'm sure via other means as well. I have it in Cygwin and on my Mac though I haven't had occasion to
use it much in many years. I used it regularly in college, but that was back when LaTeX files tended to start with \documentstyle rather than the more modern \documentclass. My knowledge of LaTeX syntax is therefore a bit out
of date. Nevertheless I always liked using it in college.

While you're waiting for Tyler, I'll just say that I used on line tutorials
and examples when learning LaTeX. For example, if I want to use LaTeX to write
a personal letter, I'll Google for LaTeX and letters and find a ton of samples
to choose from and use as a starting point. I use pdflatex to turn my LaTeX
markup into a PDF document.
