A Beginner’s Book of Tex by Silvio Levy (PDF)

Description

This book is a friendly introduction to TEX, the powerful typesetting system designed by Donald Knuth. It is addressed primarily to beginners, but it contains much information that will be useful to aspiring TEX “wizards”. Moreover, the authors kept firmly in mind the diversity of backgrounds that characterizes TEX users: authors in the sciences and in the humanities, secretaries, technical typists… The book contains a careful explanation of all fundamental concepts and commands, but also a wealth of commented examples and “tricks” based on the authors’ long experience with TEX. The attentive reader will quickly be able to create a table, or customize the appearance of the page, or code even the most complicated formula. The last third of the book is devoted to a Dictionary/Index, summarizing all the material in the text and going into greater depth in many areas.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐recommended by ConTeXt developer.good companion book to Donald Knuth’s TeX Book.This book is praised by among others the TeX master Hans Hagen. I find it a worthy addition to my shelf of TeX books, ranking just below “TeX for the Impatient” and more approachable than “TeX by Topic” which is written for a more experienced audience. It must be emphasized that this book deals with plain Tex, and not the most popular variant LaTeX. But since I work in plain TeX or Context almost exclusively it is fits my needs well.John CulletonAble Indexers and Typesetters[…]Buen libro para familiarizarse con las rutinas básicas de TeX. No se hace tan pesado como TeXBook, es más fácil de entender.
