LaTeX is the text-preparation system of choice for scientists and academics,
and is especially useful for typesetting technical materials. This popular book
shows you how to begin using LaTeX to create high-quality documents. The book
also serves as a handy reference for all LaTeX users. In this completely revised
edition, the authors cover the LaTeX2ε standard and offer more details,
examples, exercises, tips, and tricks. They go beyond the core installation
to describe the key contributed packages that have become essential to LaTeX
processing.
Inside, you will find:
- Complete coverage of LaTeX fundamentals, including how to input text, symbols,
and mathematics; how to produce lists and tables; how to include graphics
and color; and how to organize and customize documents
- Discussion of more advanced concepts such as bibliographical databases and
BIBTeX, math extensions with AMS-LaTeX, drawing, slides, and letters
- Helpful appendices on installation, error messages, creating packages, using
LaTeX with HTML and XML, and fonts
- An extensive alphabetized listing of commands and their uses
New to this edition:
- More emphasis on LaTeX as a markup language that separates content and form--consistent
with the essence of XML
- Detailed discussions of contributed packages alongside relevant standard
topics
- In-depth information on PDF output, including extensive coverage of how
to use the hyperref package to create links, bookmarks, and active buttons
As did the three best-selling editions that preceded it, Guide to LaTeX,
Fourth Edition, will prove indispensable to anyone wishing to gain the
benefits of LaTeX.
The accompanying CD-ROM is part of the TeX Live set distributed by TeX Users
Groups, containing a full LaTeX installation for Windows, MacOSX, and Linux,
as well as many extensions, including those discussed in the book.
