What is a LATEX file?

A latex file extension is a high-quality typesetting system file that prepares a source document known as the TEX file. TEX file contains text, symbols, mathematical expressions, and graphics used for formatting documents. Latex uses the TEX file to formatting its output written in the TEX.MACRO language. The file is widely used for communication and publication of scientific documents in many fields. It is mostly used in electrical engineering, statistics, computer science, economics, and typesetting articles and publications. Latex file contains mark-up conventions that explain the structure of a document, such as published books or articles. You can use the Latex file as a stand-alone document preparation system or use it as an intermediate format. Thankfully the commands used to put together a Latex document don’t vary from one operating system to another. It is easy to open and use the file despite the system you choose to operate on.
