سیستم آمادهسازی نوشتاری متن
LaTeX is a software system that makes it easier to create professionally formatted documents by letting you focus on writing content while the system handles the layout and design. It's particularly valuable because it provides built-in commands for common document elements like chapter headings, footnotes, and bibliographies, which would otherwise require complex formatting instructions.

Source code
The normal way to obtain LaTeX is therefore not to get it from this repository, but through the packaged version available from and automatically distributed as part of major TeX distributions such as TeXLive, MacTeX or MiKTeX. Note that Babel moved to its own repository in 2019: GitHub; any issues related to Babel should be reported there. From 2020 onwards LaTeX includes the L3 programming layer as part of the format. The code for this layer is hosted in its own repository: GitHub; any issues directly related to commands from that layer should preferably be reported there. The LaTeX version is defined in the file ltvers.dtx in the two commands fmtversion (the main version) and patch@level (the patch level). A negative patch level indicates a pretest version. Each component of the core distribution contains a README file which is tagged with the appropriate release string prior to upload to CTAN. Please look at the report generated from latexbug and if it indicates that you are using packages not maintained by the LaTeX Project check if your problem is still present after removing them. If so contact the maintainers of these third-party packages and file a bug report with them. More details on creating issue reports for the core LaTeX distribution are given in our CONTRIBUTING guide. We are unable to provide advice/support here: community sites such as TeX-LaTeX StackExchange and The LaTeX Community are available for general help. See also the help pages on our website for further suggestions.
