An Introduction to LaTeX

Helping you learn to use LaTeX

Resources

All of the slide sets, my notes, and example LaTeX documents will be posted on the GitHub for this site.

As you learn $\LaTeX$, you may find some of these resources helpful. I'm going to update this any time I find new ones.

Books

  • "$\LaTeX$: A Document Preparation System", Leslie Lamport. Second Edition, 1994. Addison-Wesley, Inc.

  • "The $\LaTeX$ Companion", Frank Mittelbach, Michel Goossens, Johannes Braams, David Carlisle and Chris Rowley. Second Edition, 2004. Addison-Wesley, Inc.

Websites

CTAN

CTAN is the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network. It's the place to find new packages to do things, or to find official documentation on any package.

TeX Stack Exchange

A part of the venerable Stack Exchange network, this is a question-answer site with plenty of answered questions, including others that you may come across.

The LaTeX Wikibook

This is one of the best online resources. It's an excellent introduction, and has immense range. However, it's long, and I don't find that its presentation is the best.
