Welcome — and happy TeXing

This forum is for all TeX users in the UK. From novice to expert. From Lands End to John O'Groats. From academia to consultancy. Anything UK-related that is also TeX or LaTeX. Even MathJax. It's aim is to promote and support the use of TeX (and LaTeX) and related software in the UK.

This aim is similar to that of UK TUG, the fee-based membership organisation. There's some overlap of membership, but no formal relationship.

Anyone can read the posts in the forum. Anyone sign up directly and post to the forum. (This will change if spammers find us.) After signing up, please introduce yourself.

To get going, we'll use the Debian Code of Conduct. We're looking for a moderator. Jonathan Fine (former Chair UK TUG) started this forum.
