Hello all,

Sorry for the late reply.

Using the same template linked in my first post, I still couldn't built the PDF. And no, I didn't touch the Makefile :)

If I understand the Makefile properly, a "make book-web" or "make book-blurb" is sufficient for my case. But running them doesn't produce ...

Ah, I forgot the tell you the template I'm actually editing is available on this page .
It's inspired by the template linked on the first post.

I'm not at home. Will upload my modifications as soon as I get home.

Of course I'll prefer customizable photos and text layout ...

I and several photography enthusiasts are working on a hobby (non-commercial) project, and we decide to make a photobook. Currently, we use Adobe InDesign for that goal. Yet somehow I'm curious to build the book myself using LaTeX.

A quick Google search pointed me to: LATEX TEMPLATES FOR POD ...

Let's say we have this hypothetical family tree
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{verbatim}
%\usepackage[active,tightpage]{preview}
%\PreviewEnvironment{tikzpicture}
%\setlength\PreviewBorder{15pt}%
\usetheme{default}
\usetikzlibrary{trees}
\begin{document}

Ah that works. Thank you

I was asked to make presentation slides that depicted our family tree.
And then I decided to try beamer for that purpose.

Based on these 2 examples, I made my first attempt:
http://www.texample.net/media/tikz/examples/TEX/family-tree.tex
http://www.math.umbc.edu/~rouben/beamer/quickstart-Z-H-3.html ...

Is there any LaTeX package that can be used to draw family tree (hopefully it's relatively easy)?
Something like this:

The rectangle means men, and rounded rectangle means women.
Oh the left, there are numbers which are meant to indicate the number of the generation.

Now I'm using Texmaker, because it's a good cross platform LaTeX IDE (previously using WinShell). One feature from WinShell that I think missing in Texmaker is the Project Viewer.

Does Texmaker have it? It's nice to manage LaTeX projects which contains multiple source files, images, etc.

I'm looking for comprehensive browsable LaTeX manual, something like http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/ or http://php.net/manual/en/index.php. Is such thing available?

Here is a paragraph I made involving lettrine.

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{lettrine}

\begin{document}

\lettrine{T}he American Kennel Club (AKC) breed standard calls for a natural range of size, with a desired freighting size of 23 inches (584 mm) and 75 pounds (34 kg) for ...
