简介：Nearly twenty years after the first ideas for LaTEX2ε emerged, the
use of LaTEX to produce high-quality technical documents shows no
sign of waning. Indeed, over the past 5 or so years there has been if
anything an upturn in interest in using LaTEX. Better editors, faster computers
and the range of powerful LaTEX packages have all contributed
to this increased uptake.
For the new user, this vibrancy can appear intimidating. The range
of packages available for use with LaTEX is vast, and it is not always
obvious which is the ‘best of breed.’ What new users need therefore
is a guide not just to the basics of the LaTEX approach, but also help
in navigating this ecosystem so that they can produce the documents
they need as rapidly as possible.
Creating well-designed documents is about more than the technical
detail of any typesetting system, and so as well as learning LaTEX it
is also necessary to understand the wider ideas of good writing and
good design if one is to create truly ‘beautiful’ material.
In LaTEX and Friends, Marc van Dongen provides an integrated
solution to these inter-related requirements. Treating the presentation
of beautiful documents as the key aim of the reader, it offers advice on
good practice (both in LaTEX terms and beyond) in the relevant context
for the beginner. It also avoids the problem seen in many texts, which
fall short in supporting the transition from beginner to advanced
user. Thus while new LaTEX users will find the information they need
here, so will more established users, this not only a beginners’
guide but also a reference manual for day-to-day LaTEX users.
