Kopka and Daly provide a highly accessible tutorial for users new to LaTeX. Fully revised to cover the latest version of LaTeX, this second edition presents a thorough explanation of the internals of the system. LaTeX commands not available within the earlier version of LaTeX are highlighted, making the book useful for users still working with the earlier release.
Helmut Kopka was involved in writing one of the first TEX drivers for HP LaserJet and subsequently introduced TEX and LATEX into his home institute, where it has become the standard text processing system.
Patrick W. Daly has written formatting styles for several scientific journals, and has invented a widely-used system for customizing bibliographic styles for use with LATEX.
