The -CTAN Catalogue can also identify packages that might help: you -can <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/search">search it</a>, or you can browse it - -“<a href="http://mirrors.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/bytopic.html">by topic</a>”. - -Each catalogue entry has a brief description of the package, and links to -any known documentation on the net. In fact, a large proportion of -CTAN package directories now include documentation, so it’s -often worth looking at the catalogue entry for a package you’re considering -using (where possible, each package link in the main body of these -FAQs has a link to -the relevant catalogue entry). -<p/>Failing all that, look to see if anyone else has had the problem -before; there are two places where people ask: browse or search the -newsgroup <i>comp.text.tex</i> via -<a href="http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex">Google groups</a>, -and the mailing list <code>texhax</code> via its -<a href="http://tug.org/pipermail/texhax/">archive</a>, or (as a long shot) -the archives of its ancient posts on CTAN. -<p/>If those “back question” searches fail, you’ll have to ask the world -at large. To ask a question on <i>comp.text.tex</i>, you can use -your own news client (if you have one), or use the “start a new -topic” button on <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex">http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex</a>. -To ask a question on <code>texhax</code>, you may simply send mail to -<a href="mailto:texhax@tug.org"><i>texhax@tug.org</i></a>, but it’s probably better to subscribe to the -list (via <a href="http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/texhax">http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/texhax</a>) -first — not everyone will answer to you as well as to the list. -<p/>Other alternative sources are the -<a href="http://www.latex-community.org/">“LaTeX community” site</a> or -<a href="http://tex.stackexchange.com/">TeX, LaTeX and friends Q&A site</a>. -Neither of these is particularly long-established (the “friends” -site is still in beta state at -the time of writing), but they’re already popular and helpful. -<p/>Do <b>not</b> try mailing the -<a href="FAQ-LaTeX3.html">LaTeX project team</a>, -the maintainers of the TeX Live or MiKTeX distributions -or the maintainers of these FAQs -for help; while all these addresses reach experienced (La)TeX -users, no small group can possibly have expertise in every area of -usage so that the “big” lists are a far better bet. -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>texhax ‘back copies’</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/digests/texhax">digests/texhax</a>; <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org//help/Catalogue/entries/texhax.html">catalogue entry</a> -</dl> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=gethelp">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=gethelp</a> -</body> |
