TeX, LaTeX i s-ka
W języku TeXa napisano wiele tzw. //formatów//, czyli zestawów poleceń wysokiego poziomu służących do . . . składu. Najbardziej znane to: plain TeX ===== Napisany przez samego Knutha. Jego zaletą . . . prostota; jest to zarazem wada, ponieważ plain TeX nie wspiera automatycznego numerowania równań, . . . skutki uboczne w innym. Wiele osób, mówiąc //TeX//, ma na myśli właśnie plaina, w odróżnieniu od . . . LaTeXa; w niniejszym serwisie słowo //TeX// jest używane . . .

Zbyt duże spacje po kropkach
Nieraz widuję plik, w którym spacje np. po skrótach z kropką są zbyt duże w porównaniu do pozostałych, . . . ten jest chyba obcy polskiej typografii). TeX przestrzega tej reguły, jednak (oczywiście) nie . . . kropki kończącej skrót (z wyjątkiem inicjałów; TeX domyślnie nie zwiększa spacji po kropce, która . . . literze).

Zmienianie wysokości indeksów dolnych
