Summary

In recent times, modern GUI-based publishing tools have augmented the text-based publishing tools that have always been available Linux systems. Powerful open -source publishing tools such as OpenOffice.org are becoming competitive with commercial office suites. Traditional publishing tools such as Groff (which implements traditional troff/nroff text processing) and LaTeX (a TeX macro interface that is particularly suited for scientific and mathematical publishing) are still available with Fedora.

Tools for working with graphics are gaining ground on professional image manipulation programs. Using The GIMP, you can modify your images in a variety of ways.
