Fedora 11 Update: texlive-2007-46.fc11

November 12, 2009

Summary

TeXLive is an implementation of TeX for Linux or UNIX systems. TeX takes

a text file and a set of formatting commands as input and creates a

printable file as output. Usually, TeX is used in conjunction with

a higher level formatting package like LaTeX or PlainTeX, since TeX by

itself is not very user-friendly.

Install texlive if you want to use the TeX text formatting system. Consider

to install texlive-latex (a higher level formatting package which provides

an easier-to-use interface for TeX).

The TeX documentation is located in the texlive-doc package.
