Hello,
Sorry for a questioin that is a bit off-topic.
I'm a bit confused about the TeX terminology. I know what is what, but
I don't know how all these programs/packages/macros are officially
called in English.
How would you explain those in an encyclopedy with no more than one sentence?
* plain TeX, LaTeX, ConTeXt are ...
? TeX formats ? (but ConTeXt is not just that)
I would say plain and latex are 'TeX macro packages'. ConTeXt is
more like a 'typesetting system with TeX and MetaPost at it's core'
* TeX, eTeX, pdf(e)TeX, Aleph, Omega, XeTeX are ...
? TeX engines/extensions, an extended version of TeX ?
Variants?
