Synopsis

Just a few years ago, LaTeX set TeX users free. LaTeX liberated them from mundane chores such as formatting and equation numbering, allowing writers to concentrate instead on the document content. Now, to help those who wish to take an extra step beyond the structures imposed by LaTeX, author J. Kenneth Shultis presents a collection of proven tricks, techniques, and recipes for harnessing the full potential afforded by this powerful typesetting program.
