Changed "TeX" to "$\mathrm{\TeX}$"

| Dec 19, 2023 at 13:37 | comment | added | Timothy Chow | That $\mathrm{\TeX}$ is a must is truer than one might realize. If you ever leave academia and try to submit a serious research paper to the arXiv or a journal that is not written in $\mathrm{\TeX}$, then you run a serious risk of being rejected for that reason alone. | |

| Oct 25, 2021 at 23:18 | comment | added | Arshak Aivazian | @JérômeJEAN-CHARLES Oh yeah! Have you heard if there are technologies for typesetting documents in which you say what you mean? Seems like it should be easy to do some sort of Coq + Tex integration? | |

| Nov 21, 2010 at 2:34 | comment | added | Jérôme JEAN-CHARLES | Yes and it is such a sad thing that compare with asking today programmers to know COBOL. TeX is a typist language : you don't say what you mean but what it should look! | |
