A practical reference for working with LaTeX 2e

Centered on the standard LaTeX 2e release, this revised manual documents the system’s expanded styles, functions, font support, and graphics capabilities. It also addresses areas that had prompted user questions, with selected explanations reworked to clarify difficult concepts and functions. Updated coverage of MakeIndex and BibTeX extends the book beyond page layout into index and bibliography preparation. Its combined guide-and-reference approach makes it a structured companion for preparing typeset documents while navigating the features of the revised software release.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Users learning or working with the LaTeX 2e typesetting system
  • Document creators needing reference coverage of fonts, styles, and graphics
  • Users preparing bibliographies or indexes with BibTeX and MakeIndex

Book overview

This authoritative user's guide and reference manual for the LATEX computer typesetting system has been revised to document features available in the standard software release LATEX 2e. These features include additional styles and functions, improved font handling and enhanced graphics capabilities. Other parts of the book have been revised, also, reflecting several years of user comments and suggestions. Selected sections have been rewritten to explain difficult concepts or function, and the descriptions of both MakeIndex and BibTeX have been updated.
