Digital Typography using LaTeX

Using clear and concise language this book introduces new users to the use of the TeX system, in particular document preparation using LaTeX. It avoids the pitfalls of having to search through several advanced books on the subject, by collecting together the more frequently required tools and presenting these in a single accessible volume. It also describes the recent developments in multilingual typesetting using TeX that now make it straightforward for users to prepare documents in their own language and alphabet, giving the book a global readership. Topics include: multi-lingual uses of LaTeX; discussion of hardware implementations; use and misuse of particular LaTeX commands; and many others.

In addition, it demonstrates how to develop a single document for use in camera-ready copy, World Wide Web pages, and portable electronic documents. Topics & features:* An all in one, comprehensive introduction to TeX and LaTeX, suitable for both those new to, and experienced with, the TeX software program* Provides detailed description of TeX s and LaTeX s new multilingual features, as well as how to combine languages into a single document* Provides details for obtaining and installing popular versions of LaTeX and necessary utility programs and tools* CD-ROM includes extensive utility programs, tools, and demonstrations presented in the book* Covers areas of advanced typography, such as the addition of Postscript or TrueType fonts to a LaTeX installation, and how to work with graphic images* Describes advanced typesetting systems, including Omega, Lambda, pdfLaTeX, and epsilon-LaTeXAll scientists, engineers, and technical professionals who use LaTeX will find this volume a rich source of methods and tools for their desktop publishing needs The purpose of the book is to introduce new users to the use of the TeX system, in particular document preparation using LaTeX. It seeks to avoid the pitfalls of having to search through several advanced books on the subject, by collecting together the more frequently required tools and presenting these in a single accessible volume. It will also describe the recent developments in multilingual typesetting using TeX that now make it straightforward for users to prepare documents in their own language and alphabet, giving the book a global readership. The main presentation will be independent of any particular type of computer hardware, though a section will contain details of some of the more popular versions of TeX for each type of machine and details of where they can be downloaded on the Internet from, or purchased at low cost on a convenient compact disk. Topics and features: multi-lingual uses of LaTeX; discussion of hardware implementations; use and misuse of particular LaTeX commands; some treatment of graphics; inclusion of exercises with solutions*discussion of common errors; inclusion of many examples This book explores a great number of concepts, methods, technologies, and tools-in one word resources-that apply to various domains of typesetting. These resources have been developed and are used by the members of a very special community of people, which is also a community of very special people: the T^X community. To understand the motivation that led these special people to develop and use these resources, I believe it is necessary to make a short flashback. Since it is true that the past (uniquely?) determines the present and the future, I decided to divide this foreword into three parts: The Past, The Present, and The Future. At this point, I am asking the readers to excuse my tendency of sometimes becoming autobiographic. This is very hard to avoid when talking about people and events important to one's life, and, after all, avoiding it could mean betraying the subject I would like to talk about.
