+<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label tutbitslatex</title>
+</head><body>
+<h3>Specialised (La)TeX tutorials</h3>
+<p/>The AMS publishes a &ldquo;Short Math Guide for LaTeX&rdquo;, which is
+available (in several formats) via
+<a href="http://www.ams.org/tex/short-math-guide.html">http://www.ams.org/tex/short-math-guide.html</a>
+<p/>Herbert Voss is developing a parallel document, that is also very
+useful; it&rsquo;s part of his &ldquo;<a href="FAQ-doc-dirs.html">tips and tricks</a>&rdquo; and
+a copy is maintained on CTAN.
+
+<p/>Two documents written more than ten years apart about font usage in
+TeX are worth reading:
+<a href="href=&rsquo;http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb14-2/tb39rahtz-nfss.pdf">Essential NFSS</a>
+by Sebastian Rahtz, and
+<a href="http://tug.org/pracjourn/2006-1/schmidt/schmidt.pdf">Font selection in LaTeX</a>,
+cast in the form of an FAQ, by Walter Schmidt. A general
+compendium of font information (including the two above) may be found
+on the <a href="http://www.tug.org/fonts/">TUG web site</a>.
+<p/>Peter Smith&rsquo;s
+
+
+ &ldquo;<a href="http://www.phil.cam.ac.uk/teaching_staff/Smith/LaTeX/">LaTeX for Logicians</a>&rdquo;
+covers a rather smaller subject area, but is similarly comprehensive
+(mostly by links to documents on relevant topics, rather than as a
+monolithic document).
+<p/>Keith Reckdahl&rsquo;s &ldquo;Using Imported Graphics in LaTeX2e&rdquo; is an
+excellent introduction to graphics use. It&rsquo;s available on
+CTAN, but the sources aren&rsquo;t available (promised &ldquo;some time
+soon&rdquo;).
+<p/>Kjell Magne Fauske offers a set of examples of the use of the drawing
+packages
+<a href="FAQ-drawing.html">PGF and TikZ</a>; the
+<a href="http://www.fauskes.net/pgftikzexamples/">examples catalogue</a>
+includes examples (with output) from the package documentation as well
+as code written by the author himself.
+<p/>Vincent Zoonekynd provides a set of excellent (and graphic) tutorials
+on the programming of
+<a href="http://zoonek.free.fr/LaTeX/LaTeX_samples_title/0.html">title page styles</a>,
+<a href="http://zoonek.free.fr/LaTeX/LaTeX_samples_chapter/0.html">chapter heading styles</a>
+and
+<a href="http://zoonek.free.fr/LaTeX/LaTeX_samples_section/0.html">section heading styles</a>.
+In each file, there is a selection of graphics representing an output
+style, and for each style, the code that produces it is shown.
+<p/>An invaluable step-by-step setup guide for establishing a &ldquo;work
+flow&rdquo; through your (La)TeX system, so that output appears at the
+correct size and position on standard-sized paper, and that the print
+quality is satisfactory, is Mike Shell&rsquo;s <i>testflow</i>. The
+tutorial consists of a large plain text document, and there is a
+supporting LaTeX file together with correct output, both in PostScript and
+PDF, for each of A4 and &ldquo;letter&rdquo; paper sizes. The
+complete kit is available on CTAN (distributed with the
+author&rsquo;s macros for papers submitted for IEEE publications).
+The issues are also covered in a later
+<a href="FAQ-dvips-pdf.html">FAQ answer</a>.
+<p/>Documentation of Japanese TeX use appears at least twice on the web:
+Haruhiko Okumura&rsquo;s page on
+
+<a href="http://oku.edu.mie-u.ac.jp/~okumura/texfaq/japanese/">typesetting Japanese with Omega</a>
+(the parent page is in Japanese, so out of the scope of this
+FAQ).
+<p/>One &ldquo;Tim&rdquo; documents pTeX (a TeX system widely used in Japan)
+in his
+
+
+ &ldquo;<a href="http://www.users.waitrose.com/~nihilist/English_Notes_on_pTex.pdf">English notes on pTeX</a>&rdquo;.
+<p/>Some university departments make their local documentation available
+on the web. Most straightforwardly, there&rsquo;s the simple translation of
+existing documentation into HTML, for example the INFO
+documentation of the (La)TeX installation, of which a sample is the
+LaTeX documentation available at
+<a href="http://www.tac.dk/cgi-bin/info2www?(latex)">http://www.tac.dk/cgi-bin/info2www?(latex)</a>
+<p/>More ambitiously, some university departments have enthusiastic
+documenters who
+make public record of their (La)TeX support. For example, Tim Love
+(of Cambridge University Engineering Department) maintains his
+deparment&rsquo;s pages at
+<a href="http://www-h.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/textprocessing/">http://www-h.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/textprocessing/</a>
