- The Very Short Guide to LaTeX
-
- This is the 22 January 2013 revision of the Guide. It is designed for
- printing on A4 paper, double-sided, and folding once to A5.
-
- This revision corrects some minor typographical inconsistencies and
- rephrases some descriptions for greater clarity. The preformatted
- version uses commercial typefaces: if you use CM or something else you
- may have to rearrange the text a little, as space is very tight.
-
- From the source comments:
-
- This is the Very Short Guide to LaTeX, a 4pp folder designed as an
- aide-mémoire for people who have just done a course in LaTeX and
- need something by them on their desk the next day to refresh their
- memories. It is not intended as a substitute for full documentation.
-
-Production notes
-
- An earlier (Jan 2008) version was typeset on two A4 landscape pages
- ready to print, but this restricted the ways people wanted to print it,
- so this version is set as four normal A5 pages, leaving the imposition
- up to your printer driver.
-
- Adobe Acrobat 9, for example, can print the PDF two-sided, two-up,
- landscape on A4 using the "Booklet Printing" option, and a
- ready-imposed PDF generated this way is included below. A similar
- effect can be achieved by preprocessing the PS output with the command
-pstops -pa4 -b "4:-3L(30cm,0)+0L(30cm,14.85cm),1L(30cm,0)+-2L(30cm,14.85cm)" \
- veryshortguide.ps | ps2pdf - veryshortguide-imposed.pdf
-
-
- The weird value of 30cm appears to be due to a bug in pstops (and in
- psbook: it ought to have been possible to use psbook and psnup for
- this, but that method does not allow for offsetting).
-
- The page margins are set to 12mm, because many desktop inkjet printers
- cannot print the bottom 12mm of a sheet; it was felt best to equalise
- this all round, at the small expense of making the printable area
- slightly smaller.
