TeX resources

Here are the example files from the talk I gave Friday, October 27.

If you plan to use TeX very much at all, you should definitely pick up a copy of Donald Knuth's "The TeXbook", and, for LaTeX, a copy of "LaTeX: A Documentation Preparation System", by Leslie Lamport. Both should also be available at the library. The former is also available on line (see below), but you'll want a hard copy too (trust me).

Other useful links:

• Download The TeXbook or The METAFONTbook (in TeX format)
• The TeX User's Group Homepage
• useful list of TeX resources from the AMS
• A Gentle Introduction to TeX: a tutorial that was mentioned in the meeting
• CTAN: The Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (Their search page is particularly useful.)
• TeXsis implements popular LaTeX features (for example, automatic handling of cross-references) on top of Plain TeX.
