TeX Directory Structure
Directory hierarchy in typesetting software
In typesetting software, TeX Directory Structure (TDS) is a directory hierarchy for macros, fonts, and the other implementation-independent TeX system files. The top-level directories are
| Directory | Description |
|---|---|
| tex | TeX files (including LaTeX and other macro packages) |
| bibtex | BibTeX files |
| doc | user documentation |
| fonts | font-related files |
| metafont | METAFONT files |
| metapost | MetaPost files |
| scripts | platform-independent executables |
| source | sources |
TDS is used by several TeX distributions, including teTeX, TeX Live and MiKTeX.
