As a beginner, I'd much recommend it over the above article. Here you go http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Introduction PS: What a dumb request to submit emails before commenting.

I mean , like for someone who knew nothing about latex till this very moment. The reason I am asking is because anything I input from the above article produces errors, so I must be doing it wrong, but, simple as it may seem, I have no idea how to proceed.

The advantage is that I was able to create both pdf (for printing) and html (using latex2html, LaTeX references being converted to html links) for online viewing from the same source. - mathematical equations are really clean compared to other products so if your document contains equations typesetting with LaTeX gives much better results happy typesetting, michal hi,

I’d add some important points concerning LaTeX :

- I’ve written my PhD thesis back in 1993 and I’d still be able to typeset it again if I wanted to modify something ex. a font or page format. ask people who’ve written things at this epoch if they can still read their documents (and preserve the formatting)

- I’ve also used LaTeX for writing a technical documentation. The advantage is that I was able to create both pdf (for printing) and html (using latex2html, LaTeX references being converted to html links) for online viewing from the same source.

- mathematical equations are really clean compared to other products so if your document contains equations typesetting with LaTeX gives much better results

happy typesetting,
michal

References is the most important reason I've written my thesis using LaTeX. I hope have some more time to share some of my settings soon. I think it is worthy to mention BibTeX.

In chapter1.tex there's a line missing (but it's correct in the text above): \begin{description} (after \subsection{Description}) Hmm, just to make a good thing even better, here’s what my LaTeX installation did not like in your tar.gz:
