+ <h1>The Very Short Guide to LaTeX</h1>
+ <p>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.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
+ <blockquote>
+ <h4>From the source comments:</h4>
+ <p>This is the Very Short Guide to LaTeX, a 4pp folder designed
+ as an <span class="lang">aide-m&eacute;moire</span> 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
+ <em>not</em> intended as a substitute for full documentation.</p>
+ </blockquote>
+ <h2>Production notes</h2>
+ <p>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.</p>
+ <p>Adobe Acrobat&nbsp;9, for example, can print the PDF two-sided,
+ two-up, landscape on A4 using the <q>Booklet Printing</q> 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</p>
+ <pre>
+pstops -pa4 -b "4:-3L(30cm,0)+0L(30cm,14.85cm),1L(30cm,0)+-2L(30cm,14.85cm)" \
+ veryshortguide.ps | ps2pdf - veryshortguide-imposed.pdf
+ </pre>
+ <p>The weird value of 30cm appears to be due to a bug in
+ <code>pstops</code> (and in <code>psbook</code>: it ought to
+ have been possible to use <code>psbook</code> and
+ <code>psnup</code> for this, but that method does not allow for
+ offsetting).</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
