It is no longer necessary to use TeX in order to be able to make all the
fancities you can imagine. Using LaTeX, you can create heart-shaped
paragraphs if you mind, but you can also include all sorts of graphics,
build tables of any complexity, change the style of your whole document
by simply changing a few parameters, use all possible character fonts,
and generate Postscript, HTML or Pdf at will. See the invaluable series
of books published by Addison-Wesley.
