Information about the package, texlive, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The texlive package is designed for, Binaries for the TeX formatting system.
Package Name:
texlive
Summary:
Binaries for the TeX formatting system
Description:
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.
