Word Cloud: A tool of visualization, communication and insights
Published:
A word cloud is a collection or cluster of words described in different sizes. The larger the word appears, the more times it is mentioned in a given text, and the more important it is.
Word to Latex: Writing papers the right way
Published:
LaTeX is a document preparation system for high-quality typesetting. It is most often used for medium-to-large technical or scientific documents, but it can be used for almost any form of publishing.
