LaTeX

LaTeX is a high-quality typesetting system, with features designed for the production of technical and scientific documentation. LaTeX is the de facto standard for the communication and publication of scientific documents. (From latex-project.org.)

Many DP projects that require technical, such as math or scientific, markup are formatted using LaTeX.

For more specific details about how DP uses LaTeX markup in various roles, see the resources below.
