This TeX history was written for the IEEE Annals of the History of Computing 2018 and 2019 special issues on desktop publishing.
Part 1 was published in vol.40, no.3, July–Sept. 2018, pp.78–93.

Preprints available below.

• Preprints of the two parts of the paper.

• Additional notes and references for Part 1 and Part 2 additions; the page numbers in these notes and additional references refer to the published (not preprint) print and PDF versions. They were not included with the published parts of the paper because of the Annals limitation to 20 references in a paper.

• How TeX is Extended—an appendix to Part 2. Part 1 referred to this appendix; the appendix is here for readers of Part 1 before Part 2 was published. References 7, 8, and 9 in the text are:

  • Victor Eijkhout, TeX by Topic, Addison-Wesley, 1991, particularly chapters 11–14, ctan.org/pkg/texbytopic.
  • David Salomon, The Advanced TeXbook, Springer-Verlag, 1995.

• Summary chart of the Euler typeface development project; this chart was left out of Part 1 to save on page count.
