Seeing as we already have a Frontends section, why not add another section for useful packages such as LaTeX-beamer? Liyang 06:52:26, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
The first sentence and paragraph lacks clarity and is therefore a bad introduction. A rewrite of some or most of it is needed. Here are some points:
Hello fellow Wikipedians,

Our article on KaTeX, a javascript library of the Khan Academy for formatting LaTeX-like mathematical expressions, has been nominated for deletion, with the nominator suggesting that one potential outcome might be a merge to this article. Please comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/KaTeX with your opinions of this potential merge or on the proposed deletion more generally. — David Eppstein ( talk) 19:56, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
The article should mention the diffrence between them, and the fact that LaTeX only extends TeX and built on top of it, that means that LaTeX is compiled to TeX. Galzigler ( talk) 20:20, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
Please can someone add something about how LaTeX works for people using non-visual browsers (such as a blind people using a screen reader)? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:11, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
"LaTeX ( /ˈlɑːtɛx/ LAH-tekh or /ˈleɪtɛx/ LAY-tekh), stylized within the system as LaTeX, is a software system for document preparation."
The wording here is a bit clunky. How about "stylized within itself as"? Thoughts? Will change unless anyone has objections. CampWood ( talk) 00:22, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
For the pronunciation of the word LaTeX, two options are given: (/ˈlɑːtɛx/ LAH-tekh or /ˈleɪtɛx/ LAY-tekh).
However both incorrectly use x (ch in loch) as the final coda position consonant. The non IPA transcription is also wrong. A more appropriate transcription would be:

Both you and St.nerol are wrong. The Latex Project website as referenced in source 2 says LaTeX is pronounced "to rhyme with «blech» or «Bertolt Brecht»". This is a bit confusing, since the coda of Brecht is /çt/, but the sensible interpretation is that LaTeX is supposed to be pronounced ending in /ç/, since neither /x/ nor /ks/ come close to rhyming with Brecht. Of course /ç/ is not an english phoneme, so how people actually pronounce the word will be different and should be reflected in the article Tasimnal ( talk) 10:03, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
