TeX

tex logo

TeX is a typesetting system created by Donald Knuth at Stanford University in 1978. TeX works by reading a source file containing text and macro definitions which instruct the TeX engine how to typeset the document. It also reads TFM files containing character widths, ligatures, and other information relevant to a particular font. After processing the source document, TeX outputs a DVI file which is a device-independent binary file containing the positions of all characters in the document. The DVI file is then supposed to be processed by a device-specific program that combines the DVI file with the necessary fonts to create something that can be sent to a printer. Nowadays it is more common to use one of the extensions to TeX, e.g. pdfTeX which outputs a pdf file instead of a DVI file.

This project acts as a backend for the gitlab plantuml integration. It can be used as a standin for any plantuml server and - as far as plantuml is concerned - it is completely transparent. If the user configures the environment.env in such a way that the properties point to a plantuml server all that functionality still works as it has before.
