Abstract

Creation of the documentation is practically hardest part of any engineering, software development or scientific project containing large amount of knowledge. In Bauman University every TMM project includes main document (thesis) which contains explanation of all calculations performing through development of the project. To reduce time of preparation for such technical texts the complete software solution with formulae support needed. In this paper usage of (as common free solution) is considered in comparison with most known free and proprietary solutions such as MS Word, Open Office and T-Flex DOCs.
