Tex by Example: A Beginner's Guide

By Arvind Borde

Based on the premise that people learn best by imitation or example, this innovative guide to TeX is written for absolute beginners - people who want simply to use TeX, but who have no desire to understand the programme's inner working. The bulk of this guide has two interwoven parts. Pages on the right, called output pages, explain the basic features of TeX and illustrate some of the things the programme can do. Pages on the left contain input boxes that show what was typed to produce the output. By glancing at these input boxes you can see quickly how a typesetting or formatting effect is obtained, without having to read long explanations. The examples in this book illustrate the standard features of TeX - they cover everything that one would need to produce a letter, technical report, or other document.
