LaTeX Resources

• The Indian TeX Users Group provides excellent resources.
  
  
• The Definitive Guide for LaTeX : LaTeX User's Guide and Reference Manual : Leslie Lamport. Addison Wesley Publications. 1994. (Indian reprint available under Pearson Education Asia).
  
  
• Alternative guides for LaTeX.
  
  
• The LaTeX Companion : Goosens, Mittelbach, and Samarin. Addison Wesley Publications. 1994.
  
  
• The LaTeX Graphics Companion : Goosens, Rahtz, and Mittelbach. Addison Wesley Publications.
  
  
• The Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN)
  
  
• Almost all packages available in common Linux distributions.
  

• Two excellent tutorials on beamer: tutorial by Rouben Rostamian, and slides by Charles Batts.
  
  
• ps2eps and ps2epsi are useful converters. (I have added extension "txt" to "ps2epsi" so that the broswer preseves line breaks.)
  
  
• Example files, slides, additional packages used in the talk on Making Slides Using LaTeX, Pstricks, and Beamer in Prabhat Workshop held on 28 Aug 2010.
  
  
  
  • Slides used in the lecture :   Source file and the generated pdf file. These slides use package pst-rel-points along with the default pstricks package.
  
  
  • Slides by Charles Batts that we used to illustrate the creation of overlays.
    
    
  • Some sample source files: sample_text1.tex, sample_graph1.tex.
  
  
  
• Other soft resources.
  
  Some of the following are copyrighted documents meant for personal use rather than commercial use. They are being made available here in good faith that the copyrights of the respective authors will not be violated by the persons downloading the documents.
  
  
  • The TeX cookbook containing a list of math and common commands and hints for typesetting math formulae.
    
  
  
  • The latex font catalogue. A collection of many not-so-common but very useful fonts.
    
    
  • There are two versions of pstricks manuals and they are by the same author :-). This earlier version is a logically complete version but it does not have commands for trees.  This other version seems to have additional commands for trees but some other pages are missing.
    
    
  • Package pst-rel-points for relative coordinates in pstricks. (Hoping to make a short manual available soon.) Here's a two-pager.
    
    
  • Package flexiprogram for formatting programs
    
    
  • Package pst-chem-formula for typesetting chemical formulae.  And here's two-pager.
    
    
  • A document illustrating some finer aspects of typeseeting using LaTeX. (Written by Prof. Soumen Chakrabarty.)
