CrApTeX

/krap'tekh/ (University of York, England) Term of abuse used

to describe {TeX} and {LaTeX} when they don't work (when used

by TeXhackers), or all the time (by everyone else). The

non-TeX enthusiasts generally dislike it because it is more

verbose than other formatters (e.g. {troff}) and because

(particularly if the standard Computer Modern fonts are used)

it generates vast output files.

See {religious issues}.
