+These are the book and the practice files for a LaTeX introduction
+that I gave several times at the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen.
+
+This is a getting-started style introduction, with pointers
+to further resources, and with advice for getting a TeX system up
+and running.
+
+BUILDING THE BOOK
+
+The master file, latexcourse_rug.tex, is suitable for screen
+viewing, with pdf bookmarks and hyperlinks.
+
+The pdf should print just fine. But if you do not want (colored)
+hyperlinks or your setup has trouble with non-standard paper sizes,
+then you can add a document option a4 or letter, e.g.:
+
+\documentclass[a4]{coursebook}
+
+The samples are already included as pdfs, with cropped margins where
+appropriate. Therefore, you only have to compile latexcourse_rug
+itself, with pdflatex and with a biber (not bibtex) run for
+bibliographic references.
+
+RECOMPILING AND CROPPING SAMPLE FILES
+
+All sample sources are also included as pdfs.
+
+- Most samples can be compiled with one or two runs of pdflatex.
+
+- The font_* samples which use the fontspec package need xelatex or
+ luatex and some system fonts.
+
+- The bib[la]tex samples in the bibsamples directory naturally
+ require a bibtex- or biber run.
+
+- For cropping, I used epspdf with a -b option for cropping and
+ sometimes a -p option for page selection. pdfcrop should do as
+ well (not tested).
+
+- Beamer_* and nobeamer samples do not need cropping.
+
+The scripts subdirectory contains a bash script compile_samples
+which does all this.
+
+OCTOBER 2014 VERSION
+
+Compared to the original release from July 2014, there have been
+some minor textual changes, mainly to de-emphasize the RUG
+installation. Also, the book got a new, more compact layout.
+
+DECEMBER 2015 VERSION
+
+Information on external software, screenshots and references have
+been updated. Scripts for compiling samples and for packing for CTAN
+have been added. Small changes in the samples and some rephrasings.
