LaTeX2e is the current version of LaTeX, since it replaced LaTeX 2.09 in 1994.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Scavo |first=Tom |title=TeX, LaTeX, and AMS-LaTeX |url=http://web.syr.edu/~trscavo/latex/latex-history.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19981203013048/http://web.syr.edu/~trscavo/latex/latex-history.html |archive-date=3 December 1998 |access-date=6 September 2018}}</ref> {{As of|2020||df=}}, LaTeX3, which started in the early 1990s, is under a long-term development project.<ref name="Latex3planning"/> Planned features include improved syntax (separation of content from styling), [[hyperlink]] support, a new user interface, access to arbitrary fonts and a new documentation.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Frank Mittelbach, Chris Rowley |date=January 12, 1999 |title=The LaTeX3 Project |url=//www.latex-project.org/guides/ltx3info.pdf |access-date=2007-07-30}}</ref> Some LaTeX3 features are available in LaTeX2e using packages,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Wright |first=Joseph |title=Why is LaTeX3 taking so long to come out? |url=https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/986/ |website=TeX - LaTeX Stack Exchange}}</ref> and by 2020 many features have been enabled in LaTeX2e by default for a gradual transition.<ref name="Latex3planning"/>

There are many commercial implementations of the entire TeX system. System vendors may add extra features like added [[typeface]]s and [[help desk|telephone support]]. [[LyX]] is a [[free software]], [[WYSIWYM]] visual document processor that uses LaTeX for a back-end.<ref>{{Cite web |title=LyX: What is LyX? |url=https://www.lyx.org/WhatIsLyX |access-date=2019-07-20 |website=www.lyx.org}}</ref> [[TeXmacs]] is a free, [[WYSIWYG]] editor with similar functionalities as LaTeX, but with a different typesetting engine.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Welcome to GNU TeXmacs (FSF GNU project) |url=https://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/home/welcome.en.html |website=www.texmacs.org}}</ref> Other WYSIWYG editors that produce LaTeX include [[Scientific Word]] on Windows and [[macOS]].

Many community-supported TeX distributions are available.
