(It's possible that, if you're trying to learn TeX because someone else is making you, they already have a copy they can lend you.) You'll also want a copy of this reference sheet by Joseph H. There really isn't any equivalent that does TeX justice.
You can find some of my recommendations with VS Code here at TeX Stack Exchange.Īdditionally, if you're still trying to learn plain TeX, like me, get yourself a copy of The TeXbook by Donald Knuth. I also found VS Code to be a wonderful modern editor for plain TeX. I use Arch Linux, so I have TeX Live installed (plus other packages such as texlive-science that bundle common TeX/LaTeX packages). I've used LaTeX for the past 5 years now, using backends like MikTeX and TeX Live, and almost exclusively TeXStudio, occasionally vim for editing.įor those who still publish in plain TeX, what tools do you use?Īlso, are there any basic tutorials on just TeX? I found what's effectively a textbook on TeX, but don't see much in the way of distilling that for easier learning.Įdit: I've been using TeX a little bit more frequently now, so I'll share what I've learned. So, I'm a new-ish grad student and my advisor would like plain TeX from me (he's been a professor for a handful of decades).
Alternatives: MetaPost, PSTricks, Asymptote Drawing diagrams, schemas, graphs, and pictures with TikZ ( examples| manual| manual).If you prefer video resources, Michelle Krummel on YT might be for you.The wiki-book on LaTeX: a quick and practical overview of LaTeX.Overleaf (most popular online editor), also has great tutorials and templates.Whether you are just getting started with LaTeX and wondering what the fuss is about, here to share the clever trick you've discovered, or need urgent help with your bibliography, welcome to the LaTeX subreddit!
