CrApTeX
/kraptekh/ , n. [University of York, England] Term of abuse used to describe
TeX and LaTeX when they don't work (when used by TeXhackers), or all the
time (by everyone else). The non-TeX-enthusiasts generally dislike it
because it is more verbose than other formatters (e.g. troff ) and because
(particularly if the standard Computer Modern fonts are used) it generates
vast output files. See religious issues , TeX.
