Editing TeX (section)

==Pronunciation and spelling==
The name TeX is intended by its developer to be pronounced {{IPAc-en|t|ɛ|x}}, with the final consonant of ''loch.''<ref>Knuth, Donald E. ''The TeXbook'', Ch.&nbsp;1: The Name of the Game, p.&nbsp;1.</ref> The letters of the name are meant to represent the [[capital letter|capital]] [[Greek alphabet|Greek]] letters [[tau]], [[epsilon]], and [[chi (letter)|chi]], as TeX is an abbreviation of [[techne|τέχνη]] ({{lang|grc|ΤΕΧΝΗ}} {{Transliteration|grc|technē}}), Greek for both "art" and "craft", which is also the root word of ''technical''. English speakers often pronounce it {{IPAc-en|t|ɛ|k}}, like the first syllable of ''technical''. Knuth instructs that it be typeset with the "E" below the baseline and reduced spacing between the letters. This is done, as Knuth mentions in his ''TeXbook'', to distinguish TeX from other system names such as TEX, the Text EXecutive processor (developed by Honeywell Information Systems).<ref>Knuth, Donald E.

Reprinted as chapter 6 of ''Digital Typography''.</ref> Fans like to proliferate names from the word "TeX"—such as ''TeXnician'' (user of TeX software), ''TeXhacker'' (TeX programmer), ''TeXmaster'' (competent TeX programmer), ''TeXhax'', and ''TeXnique''.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/T/TeX.html | title=The Jargon File—TeX | access-date=23 July 2016}}</ref>
