TEX on Linux

Image
This is not really a Web Dev tip, but I thought it worth quickly noting for those who have a need to produce properly formatted mathematical (and other) high quality textual output on Linux. T E X  is a typesetting system - it lets you format text at the quality of a formal publication like a book, magazine or journal, including complex text formats like equations.  It includes a ( Turing-complete ) language making it extremely powerful. Installing it to use on Linux, is not difficult, however installing MiKTeX with TexWorks  on Ubuntu/Pop!_OS 19.10 as I have requires some additional steps. MiKTeX MiKTeX is a system that brings together a large set of  T E X  related programs.  One system that comes bundled with it is TexWorks.  Using these two works well for normal mathematical formulae that I've tested. TexWorks TexWorks is a convenient  T E X  editor.  You can write your  T E X  and immediately create PDF output...

Correcting PS1 From Resetting The Title There is one situation in which the above may seem not to work: when the screen title is set within the Unix prompt construction. How The Unix Terminal Prompt is Set The in a Shell , the PS1   environment variable controls what texts is shown at the prompt. Every time a shell command completes and the prompt is shown, PS1 is evaluated. Since it is a shell variable, anything that can be done in the context of shell variables is possible with the PS1 prompt - in fact arbitrary shell code is possible to be run dur...
