Hi :)

I'm new to LaTeX, but would like to learn more. I'll be asking people quite a few questions here ^_^.

BTW, any good tutorials off the top of your head?

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

Topic: LaTeX resources for beginners

I recommend lshort (AKA "The (Not So) Short Introduction to LaTeX") and the Wikibook personally.

Be prepared for a steep learning curve. It will require reading a lot of manuals and other documents. But the final result will be worth the effort.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Thanks guys. And yes, I know full well that it won't be easy. I've picked the below reading:

My company needs to be able to have a single set of documentation from which we can make PDFs and HTML, hence my interest in LaTeX ^_^ .
