LaTeX2e Help Top Level

LaTeX2e Help Top Level

These help screens are part of the "Guide to the School of Computing Science TeX Installation" document. They contain mostly new, updated or more comprehensive material than the printed guide.

Please email Grant Heinrich leroy@socs.uts.edu.au with comments and to report mistakes.


You can browse via the index, or by selecting a topic below.
  • Learning LaTeX/LaTeX2e

  • Packages installed at UTS.

  • The CTAN (major TeX / LaTeX / LaTeX2e) archives; instructions are also available for unpacking and installing new packages.

  • Fonts

  • The local TeX library organisation.

  • Converting LaTeX files to LaTeX2e.

  • Instructions for systems staff on installing TeX packages.

  • Makeindex (which is better covered in the Companion, Chapter 12, pp. 345-370):

  • BibTeX (also better covered in the Companion, Chapter 13, pp. 371-420)

  • References:
    • Chris Maltby's Introduction to TeX and Friends, a guide to LaTeX, in dvi or postscript formats; or read the tex file directly.
    • Grant Heinrich's Guide to the UTS TeX Installation: dvi, postscript, or tex.
    • Tobias Octiker's A not very short introduction to LaTeX2e is only available as postscript. That document has not been read, so I can't vouch for its accuracy. (If you do read it, please mail me your opinion.)
    • LaTeX2e font selection commands (dvi or postscript).
    • LaTeX2e maths symbols in (dvi or postscript).
    • The dvips manual (dvi or postscript).
    • The kpathsearch manual (dvi or postscript).

Additional help

Pointers are provided here for: A series of help screens for LaTeX (NOT LaTeX2e), BibTeX and MakeIndex have been compiled by the CTAN organisation. The next three pointers are for local copies of this material. It all appears correct, but hasn't been that closely checked for accuracy. Read at your own risk.
