Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. I've used LaTeX wikibook mostly. It's a really good resource when writing mark-up which is the easiest and fastest way to learn. Unfortunately, proper maintenance of the LaTeX Wikibook has gone astray. Quite a lot of the provided information is a bit outdated. Since it is very hard for a beginner to judge the quality of advice, maybe it's better to choose another document for now.
I think that all the answers should be in the answers so that it's easier for people to compare them; also, what I said is true: it is the one that I use and continually go back to.
Earlier editions were called "Math into LaTeX"; it's not a sequel. Especially if you're learning LaTeX for typesetting mathematics or related areas, this is a wonderful book — it includes, for example, chapters on the several AMS environments for multiline equation displays, making presentations with Beamer and other classes, and BibTeX — all things that you're likely to need at some point.
Several samples from the book are available on CTAN. Among actually free books, take a look at the LaTeX book on Wikibooks ; its excellent quality may surprise you! It starts with the basics of what a LaTeX document is, how it's laid out, what components it can and should have, etc. Most important to me were the many examples scattered throughout, so that if you have some idea of what you're trying to do you usually don't have read an entire section but just flip through until you find an appropriate example and then try something similar.
It has lots of fully-explained examples and up-to-date tips. See: Publisher's book page. SE member Nicola Talbot. Therefore you can open it, as well, in your PDF viewer with texdoc dickimaw-novices it got this name to be unique among all other documents. For example, it has a long chapter on TikZ.
On Springer's web site of this book several parts may be read on line or downloaded as PDF. The book has also been reviewed on the TeX User Group site. There's also a short film about the book. Ah, I remember my first steps: somehow I stumbled upon LaTeX Primer which was not only a great introductory text, but was a real beauty typography-side. I personally call this book "the book" along with Gratzer's "the book" ;.
The Art of LaTeX is a page intro to the subject with a lot of parallel " LaTeX -code : typeset-result" examples throughout the text. They are filled with examples, well-formatted and cross-indexed. Written by Helin Gai, formerly of Duke University. In practice the source I have found most useful and convenient is this LaTeX wikibook. It is very useful especially for troubleshooting purposes when compiling errors when the code gets more sophisticated. I am writing a book and subdivide into chapter by file.
Chapter 1 one tex file. The master file controls the overall includes bibliography cover page,preface etc. For one simple page really beginner stuff it is easy, you don't need this. The site is current in beta so the design is not ready , but the core content is there. It's been developed by several 'strong' contributors to the StackExchange site, and has 'live' demos available in most of the 16 lessons, some exercises and additional support materials.
I think that a great start is some of the above mentioned like: The Art of Problem Solving. Griffiths and Desmond J. Learning LaTeX. The above link references the original edition. A second edition , published in , has been highlighted by a commentary by the authors. I recommend Peter Flynn's Formatting Information to people -- it seems to have the right pace and style for many, being well-written and reasonably brisk.
Another unusual advantage is that it's more sympathetic towards humanities users than many introductions. The most important is to learn by doing. Take some small piece you want to typeset and make a most simple possible document. Then start to make it more compilicated. Additionally, there is the useful list of LaTeX symbols. Takes an effort, but at least some knowledge of internal workings of plain TeX is in my opinion indispensable for typesetting non-trivial documents.
One bumps to the limits LaTeX pretty quickly. I learn a lot by setting TeX Stack Exchange as my homepage. So every time I launch the internet, I'm triggered to look at the questions on the site. This way I've really learned a lot about the possibility's of LaTeX, and also good practice We created slides for a LaTeX introduction for physics students, explaining the basics, mathematics, biblatex and some typographical issues.
But the book is clear, very clear. You can buy it, download it, and not only the PDF These resources may be of interest as supplementary materials for independent learners or to people teaching LaTeX to others. Since they are materials prepared for workshops, they are not intended as standalone or self-sufficient materials for people learning alone. However, some of the material may be of use to people teaching themselves, if used in conjunction with one or more of the comprehensive introductions featured in other answers.
The materials are prepared for workshops taught for Cardiff University's Doctoral Academy and are updated from time-to-time. However, it seems impossible to edit an Overleaf project once published. Slides, notes and exercises adapted from UK TUG's introductory training course and prepared for an introductory postgraduate workshop:.
Slides, notes, exercises and supplementary handouts prepared for a series of four intermediate postgraduate workshops:. The notes for these workshops all include appendices featuring various kinds of additional information and topic-specific pointers to further resources. You enter some editor that saves plain text files. Then, you type text freely until you need something special, such as italic font or a complex mathematical expression. It was the desire to have high quality, low cost publications in mathematics and related disciplines that caused Knuth pronounced Kah-nooth to invent TeX pronounced Tek in the late 's.
Originally believing that he could write a program in less than a year that could typeset documents, he actually ended up defining an entire branch of research in computer science. It was 10 years later that he published his seminal book, The TeX Book , but he published articles along the way, and he permanently changed the way mathematical documents are prepared. LaTeX pronounced Lah-tek or Lay-tek is a collection of macros built on top of TeX that "represents a balance between functionality and ease of use".
LaTeX 2e is the current version, developed by a team of volunteers: Johannes L. Braams, David P. Looking for slides for your LaTeX course?
