[vox-tech] beginning latex

[Jonathan Stickel]

I just started using LaTeX this past year and now use it for all of my 
documents.  I got started with a wonderful free guide called "A (Not So) 
Short Introduction to LaTeX2e."  It can be downloaded from a number of 
sites, but here is one:

It was necessary to buy "The LaTeX companion" when I wanted to do some 
more advanced math formulae and figures, but it is actually a very 
difficult read.  Buy the way:  I prefer to TeX in Emacs because it has a 
built in LaTeX mode.  Good luck!
