LaTeX article for PracTeX Journal
Last year I wrote a bunch of articles for OSNews. The majority were on Java, but one was for Arch Linux, and the other was about LaTeX. My article, LaTeX isn’t for everyone but it could be for you went down very well, and I was pleased when the editor of the online journal, PracTeX contacted me to include it in their next issue.
It wasn’t just the article, though. I thought that the cool thing the editor did here was to plough through the 120+ comments that were left that vent some of the problems that people have with LaTeX in the real world. Quite interesting, I think.
The latest issue has just been released, and a PDF version is due in the near future, I understand.
Oh, and I’ve just received my copy of the LaTeX Companion, 2nd Ed. Fortunately, I’m employed by Pearson, of which Addison-Wesley is an imprint, so I got it 1/2 price
It’s a darn cool book if you use LaTeX on a regular basis and need to get to grips with some of the finer points of the package.
