latex documentation
I'm having a go at latex. Somewhere on the net I've read that documentation for using latex many packages could be found under /usr/share/doc/texmf/tex/latex and the name of the package. Well, under ***WOODY*** I can find those directories but they're empty. Anyone knows where I can find those info? Ciao Vittorio

Re: Latex documentation for beginners?
Is there any introduction to LateX available somewhere? I do not want to buy a book (and they are quite expensive here) before knowing enough to decide whether I want to use the product seriously. Johann Spies The most complete source of information and collection of documentation on TeX, LaTeX, METAFONT, BibTeX etc., I have found is the (La)TeX navigator at: a href=http://www.loria.fr/tex/english/;(La)TeX navigator/a Most of the documents are DVI and PostScript, so you need viewers, xdvi and Ghostview.

Latex documentation for beginners?
I relatively new to Linux and totally new to TeX and LateX. I downloaded Debian 1.1 and enough of the TeX an LateX-files to get LateX running on my computer. My problem is that the documentation supposes a fair degree of knowledge of the philosophy behind TeX and LateX. As a tradisional Wordperfect user in a Dos-environment, I do not know where to start, how to create and view a document, how to print and I do not find anything in the Info-manual that could explain it to me except the reference to two books I should read about Latex. The documentation explains a of commands, but there is no introduction to Latex. Is there any introduction to LateX available somewhere?

Re: Latex documentation for beginners?
Hi you can find some manuals in the /usr/lib/texmf/texmf/doc/latex/general there is a manual called guide.dvi anyway you could look for the latexcook book in starlink home page. http://star-www.rl.ac.uk if you want I can send you several manuals. cheers miguel On Thu, 5 Sep 1996, Johann Spies wrote: I relatively new to Linux and totally new to TeX and LateX.
