1 Introduction<br />

L A TEX was originally developed in 1985, based on the TEX typesetting system<br />

released by Don Knuth in 1979 (Lamport 1986; Knuth 1986). You can<br />

easily set <strong>for</strong>mulas like ∃x(φ(x) ∧ ψ(x)), or greek text, e.g., when discussing<br />

Aristotle’s ἄπειρον.<br />
