CrApTeX /krap'tekh/ n. [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, {TeX. Source: Jargon File.
