This TeX history was prepared for the IEEE Annals of the History of Computing's 2018 and 2019 special issues on desktop publishing.
Part 1 was published in vol. 40, no. 3, July-September 2018, pp. 78–93.
Part 2 was published in vol. 41, no. 2, April-June 2019, pp. 29–41.
- Notes and additional references for Part 1 and for Part 2; the page numbers in these notes and additional references refer to the published print and PDF versions of the two parts of the paper.
These were not included with the published parts of the paper because of an Annals limitation to
20 references in a paper.
- Preprints of
the two parts of the paper

chapters 11–14, ctan.org/pkg/texbytopic.
