TeX was one of the Engineering and technology good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | |||||||||||||

The article (and also the List of TeX extensions article) would be substantially enhanced by the presence of a family tree diagram, a bit like this one for Unix. Such a family tree would include major derivatives/extensions/etc of TeX, such as LaTeX, pdfTeX, XeTeX and LuaTeX, and help readers to visualise the ways in which those pieces of software relate to each other in terms of chronology and functionality.
@ Cmglee:, might you be interested in taking on that challenge? Please ping me if you reply, in case I am not watching this page. Thanks! Zazpot ( talk) 21:33, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

Why is the current version number have the same digits as pi? I searched for pi in the article using Ctrl+F and didn't find anything. I think it would be good to include an explanation of why the current version is very similiar to pi's decimal expansion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ScientistBuilder ( talk • contribs) 23:20, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

"mathematical formulas" would be enough in my opinion. and formulae is no more correct than formulas, according to most dictionaries, people, and regular humans. 176.54.4.163 ( talk) 14:39, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
