The LaTeX Typesetting System

LaTeX is the industry standard typesetting system that is widely used for technical and scientific document generation. It allows for precise control over document formatting and is particularly well-suited for documents that include complex mathematical equations, figures, and references. Below is an example of a simple LaTeX document that demonstrates some of its capabilities. You can copy and paste this code into a .tex file and compile it using a LaTeX editor like TeXShop on macOS or TeXworks on Windows to see how it looks.

% Place your main.c and main.cpp files in the same folder as your .tex file.

If you copy and paste the above .tex file and name it something like CandCppSyntaxColoring.tex you can generate a .pdf with it with the following command line:

pdflatex -shell-escape CandCppSyntaxColoring.tex
