Unlike traditional word processors, LaTeX is not WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). Instead, it relies on a markup-based approach, ensuring precise, structured, and consistent formatting. This allows you to focus on your content while maintaining a polished and professional layout every time.
LaTeX provides a high-quality typesetting system; it includes features designed for the production of technical and scientific documentation. LaTeX is the de facto standard for the communication and publication of scientific documents.
