What is LaTeX? LaTeX refers to a document preparation system, which makes use of a special markup-language (like html) to custom typeset documents. For more information, visit the LaTeX Project.

My LaTeX Templates. The templates are just tex files that you can download and use. The article template includes a couple of style files and an example external bibliography. All files come with everything you need to compile them; the examples include a PDF of what it looks like when it is done.
