TeX is an excellent typesetting engine created by renowned mathematician and computer scientist Donald Knuth. LaTeX is Leslie Lamport's TeX format, enabling you to access the TeX engine in a structured manner, separating content from style. However it is a language not a word processor, so it can have a steep learning curve, particularly if you have never had any experience using programming languages. This book aims at introducing LaTeX to a non-technical person, including where to get the software and how to get started. There is a summary of all the commands described in the book, which makes for a quick and easy reference on the command's syntax and whether the command is provided by the LaTeX kernel or in a class or package.
Dr Nicola Talbot has taught LaTeX at the University of East Anglia and on UK TeX User Group (UK-TUG) training days. She has written a number of LaTeX packages available on the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN), including the popular "glossaries" and "datatool" packages.
