Chapter 4 - Specialities
When putting together a large document, LaTeX will help with some special features like index generation, bibliography management, and other things.  A much more complete description of specialities and enhancements possible with LaTeX can be found in the LaTeX Manual and The LaTeX Companion.

4.1 Including Encapsulated PostScript

 PostScript
LaTeX provides the basic facilities to work with floating bodies, such as images or graphics, with the figure and table environments.  There are several ways to generate the actual graphics with basic LaTeX or LaTeX extension package.  A much easier way to get graphics into a document is to generate them with a specialised software package and then include the finished graphics in the document.  LaTeX packages offer many ways to do this through Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) graphics, because it is quite easy to do and widely used.
