What is a TEX File Type?

The TEX files contain plain text, unlike the .DOCX and .ODT created by the Microsoft Word WYSIWYG and FreeOffice Writer programs, which contain text in format. Typically, the TEX file contains markup conventions that define the structure of the document, such as a letter, book or article.

Since TEX contains plain text, it can be opened with n' any text editor. However, TeXworks, LaTeX Editor, LyXMac and Texmaker use the files most often.

TEX files can also use the .LTX extension for LaTeX files.
