Scott Pakin's La Te X stuff
I'm a big fan of the
La Te X typesetting
system . To make it even better I've authored a number of packages
(written in La Te X
itself), scripts (written in other programming languages), and
documents (written in English and typeset with
La Te X). All of
my
La Te X-related
packages, scripts, and documents are freely available from
the Comprehensive
Te X Archive Network (CTAN) . In 2017
the Te X Users
Group posted
an interview with me
discussing my
La Te X
work .
