-Now, in parallel with the development and growth of LaTeX, other folks were
- creating their own custom macro packages for TeX, ones to make slides or
- articles for math journals and so on.
- Some used the raw TeX facilities to do this, others began modifying LaTeX.
- To try and unify this mess, a team of LaTeX-nicians began to work on LaTeX2e,
- the current version of LaTeX, during the late 1980's.
- This new version of LaTeX has commands which provide an easier-to-use interface
- to TeX's macro-creating commands, aid in the use of new fonts, and so on.
- In fact, LaTeX is quite an extensive language in its own right! Users around
- the world have been creating their own add-ons for LaTeX beyond the standard
- ones.
