How cross-references are made, and how an index of important words and bibliography generated are also explained in detail. Apart from the students and researchers the book can be used with advantage by lawyers, media persons and even the lay public. KEY FEATURES: Plenty of illustrative examples with the LaTeX code for each topic and example displayed alongside Detailed coverage of mathematical equations Suggestions and instructions for running a hands-on workshop Some computer related information for the benefit of nearly computer illiterate beginners
