It provides "TeX" and "LaTeX". This allows you to do word processing
with a difference. They are a bit like a programming language that
allow you to program nice looking documents. You can think about
"TeX" as a lower level language. It allows you to do all sorts of
intricate and complicated things in a document --- but takes lots of
commands to do simple things. "LaTeX" is the one you are more likely
to want to use. It is like a higher level language --- it allows you
to do powerful document formating very simply.
I use latex for all my word processing needs. It is a bit of a
learning curve at first --- but once you know it, it's very good ---
especially if you want to display mathematical formulae. There is
also a nice package for emacs called "AUCTeX" which provides an emacs
mode perfect for composing latex documents.
If you are interested, I recommend buying a book on LaTeX (there are
several good ones available --- have a look in a good book store).
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Mark.
