What is the .TEX file format used for?

Extension .tex primarily denotes the file type/format "LaTeX/TeX Document" ( .tex). LaTeX (“LateX”) is an open/free cross-platform typesetting system and markup language based on TeX (“Tech”). LaTeX/TeX documents use special tags to define the internal logic and structure of the document, regardless of how this document will look externally. As one of the best means of recording and visualizing complex formulas, LaTeX/TeX remains steadily popular in the scientific and academic community.

File .tex contains source TeX document, supplemented and extended through the use of macros and LaTeX extension packages. Before a document can be visually displayed, the LaTeX/TeX source code must be parsed, processed, and executed. Control appearance documents .tex implemented using LaTeX styles.



TEX documents can be created either by direct text editing or using specialized LaTeX/TeX software. In LaTeX editors and with the help of a number of separate utilities, TEX files can be “issued” (compiled) in HTML, PDF and other formats. There are a great variety of LaTeX/TeX editors for almost all platforms, with most of them in the Unix/Linux world.

In addition, the extension .tex(short for "Texture") also refers to various bitmap texture files. Such files .tex used by many computer games and are essentially compressed containers containing multiple images in DXT format (eg DXT5-D2) or other texture formats used by the engines of such games. Depending on the actual file format, there are utilities to extract, edit, and package textures in TEX files. In addition to games, texture files .tex also used by several graphics editors.
