<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label whereFAQ</title>
</head><body>
<h3>Where to find FAQs</h3>
<p/>Bobby Bodenheimer’s article, from which this FAQ was developed, used
to be posted (nominally monthly) to newsgroup
<i>comp.text.tex</i>. The (long
obsolete) last posted copy of that article is kept on CTAN for
auld lang syne.
<p/>
The sources of the present FAQ
are available from CTAN.
<p/>This FAQ and others are regularly mentioned, on
<i>comp.text.tex</i> and elsewhere, in a “pointer FAQ”
which is also saved at <a href="http://tug.org/tex-ptr-faq">http://tug.org/tex-ptr-faq</a>
<p/>A 2006 innovation from Scott Pakin is the “visual” LaTeX FAQ.
This is a document with (mostly rubbish) text formatted so as to
highlight things we discuss here, and providing Acrobat hyper-links to
the relevant answers in this FAQ on the Web. The visual
FAQ is provided in PDF format, on CTAN; it works
best using Adobe Acrobat Reader 7 (or later); some features are
missing with other readers, or with earlier versions of Acrobat Reader
<p/>Another excellent information source, available in English, is the
<a href="http://tex.loria.fr">(La)TeX navigator</a>.
<p/>Both the Francophone TeX user group Gutenberg and the Czech/Slovak
user group CS-TUG have published translations of this FAQ, with
extensions appropriate to their languages.
<p/>Herbert Voss’s excellent
<a href="http://texnik.de/">LaTeX tips and tricks</a>
provides excellent advice on most topics one might imagine (though
it’s not strictly a FAQ) — highly recommended for most
ordinary mortals’ use.
<p/>The Open Directory Project (ODP) maintains a list of sources of
(La)TeX help, including FAQs. View the TeX area at
<a href="http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Typesetting/TeX/">http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Typesetting/TeX/</a>
<p/>Other non-English FAQs are available (off-CTAN):
<dl>
<dt>German<dd>Posted regularly to <i>de.comp.tex</i>, and archived
on CTAN; the FAQ also appears at
<a href="http://www.dante.de/faq/de-tex-faq/">http://www.dante.de/faq/de-tex-faq/</a>
<dt>French<dd>An interactive (full-screen!) FAQ may be found at
<a href="http://www.frenchpro6.com/screen.pdf/FAQscreen.pdf">http://www.frenchpro6.com/screen.pdf/FAQscreen.pdf</a>, and a copy
for printing at <a href="http://frenchle.free.fr/FAQ.pdf">http://frenchle.free.fr/FAQ.pdf</a>;
A FAQ used to be posted regularly to
<i>fr.comp.text.tex</i>, and is archived on CTAN —
sadly, that effort seems to have fallen by the wayside.
