How to get help

-

So you’ve looked at all relevant FAQs you -can find, you’ve looked in any books you have, and -scanned relevant tutorials… and still you -don’t know what to do. -

If you are seeking a particular package or program, look on your own -system first: you might already have it — the better TeX -distributions contain a wide range of supporting material. The -CTAN Catalogue can also identify packages that might help: you -can search it, or you can browse it - -“by topic”. - -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). -

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 comp.text.tex via -Google groups, -and the mailing list texhax via its -archive, or (as a long shot) -the archives of its ancient posts on CTAN. -

If those “back question” searches fail, you’ll have to ask the world -at large. To ask a question on comp.text.tex, you can use -your own news client (if you have one), or use the “start a new -topic” button on http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex. -To ask a question on texhax, you may simply send mail to -texhax@tug.org, but it’s probably better to subscribe to the -list (via http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/texhax) -first — not everyone will answer to you as well as to the list. -

Other alternative sources are the -“LaTeX community” site or -TeX, LaTeX and friends Q&A site. -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. -

Do not try mailing the -LaTeX project team, -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. -
