The VFP report writer has made great advances in VFP 9 but it may not be suited to all tasks. What if you wanted to generate a book complete with cross-referenced tables, figures, mathematical equations, scientific notations, bibliographies, table of contents, indexes and more? For these purposes you might use TeX (pronounced 'Tekh') or a superset called LaTeX (lay-tekh). LaTeX is a markup language used mainly by mathematicians, scientists, and engineers in academia to create documents due to its strong typesetting characteristics. For this months meeting Kevin Cully will be demonstrating how to use a set of VFP classes to drive the process of creating LaTeX documents, tables, indexes, etc. and then turn them into PDF documents suitable for publishing.
