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?

Learn LaTeX easily with newest books:

The LaTeX Beginner's Guide: 2nd edition and perfect for students writing a thesis

The LaTeX Cookbook: 2nd edition full of practical examples for mathematics, physics, chemistry, and more

LaTeX Graphics with TikZ: the first book about TikZ for perfect drawings in your LaTeX thesis

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 ^_^ .
