Summary
In recent times, modern GUI-based publishing tools have augmented the text-based publishing
tools that have always been available with Linux. Powerful open source publishing tools such as
OpenOffice.org are becoming competitive with commercial office suites. Traditional publishing
tools such as Groff (which implements traditional troff/nroff text processing) and LaTeX (a TeX
macro interface particularly suited for scientific and mathematical publishing) are still available
with many Linux distributions.
