+<h3>Online introductions: LaTeX</h3>
+<p/>Tobias Oetiker&rsquo;s &lsquo;(Not so) Short Introduction to LaTeX2e&rsquo;, is
+regularly updated, as people suggest better ways of explaining things,
+etc. The introduction is available on CTAN, together with
+translations into a rather large set of languages.
+<p/>Peter Flynn&rsquo;s &ldquo;Beginner&rsquo;s LaTeX&rdquo; (which also started as course
+material) is a pleasing read. A complete copy may be found on
+CTAN, but it may also be browsed over the web
+(<a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/info/beginlatex/html/">http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/info/beginlatex/html/</a>).
+<p/>Harvey Greenberg&rsquo;s &lsquo;Simplified Introduction to LaTeX&rsquo; was written
+for a lecture course, and is also available on CTAN (in PostScript
+only, unfortunately).
+<p/>The fourth edition of George Gr&auml;tzer&rsquo;s book &ldquo;Math into LaTeX&rdquo;
+contains a &ldquo;short course&rdquo; in LaTeX itself, and that course has
+been made publicly available on CTAN.
+<p/>Edith Hodgen&rsquo;s
+<a href="http://www.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/~david/latex/notes.pdf">LaTeX, a Braindump</a>
+starts you from the ground up &mdash; giving a basic tutorial in the use
+of <i>Linux</i> to get you going (rather a large file...).
+Its parent site, David Friggens&rsquo;
+<a href="http://www.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/~david/latex/">documentation page</a> is a
+useful collection of links in itself.
+<p/>
+<a href="http://www.andy-roberts.net/misc/latex/">Andy Roberts&rsquo; introductory material</a>
+is a pleasing short introduction to the use of (La)TeX; some of the
+slides for <em>actual</em> tutorials are to be found on the page, as
+well.
+<p/>Chris Harrison&rsquo;s
+<a href="http://www.chrisharrison.co.uk/xophbook/mybooks/tex/index.html">TeX book</a>
+presents basic LaTeX with useful hints for extensions
+<p/>Nicola Talbot&rsquo;s
+<a href="http://theoval.cmp.uea.ac.uk/~nlct/latex/novices/">LaTeX for complete novices</a>
+does what it claims: the author teaches LaTeX at the University of
+East Anglia. That is one of several of Nicola&rsquo;s
+<a href="http://theoval.cmp.uea.ac.uk/~nlct/latex/">introductory tutorials</a>,
+which include exercises (with solutions). Other tutorials include
+those for writing theses/dissertations with LaTeX, and for using
+LaTeX in administrative work. (The page seems to be an adjunct to
+her LaTeX courses &mdash; fortunate people, the people of UEA!).
+<p/>An interesting (and practical) tutorial about what <em>not</em> to do is
+<i>l2tabu</i>, or &ldquo;A list of sins of LaTeX2e users&rdquo; by Mark
+Trettin, translated into English by J&uuml;rgen Fenn. The
+tutorial is available from CTAN as a PDF file (though
+the source is also available).
