LaTeX Resources for Beginners - Suggestions

Post by localghost »

Another suggestion. This document has recently been uploaded to CTAN and addresses French speaking LaTeX users [1]. My knowledge of the French language is limited to several years in school but to me it seems quite helpful.

[1] Apprends LaTeX! - A French documentation for LaTeX beginners
How to make a "Minimal Example"
Board Rules
Avoidable Mistakes[/size]

¹ System: openSUSE 42.2 (Linux 4.4.52), TeX Live 2016 (vanilla), TeXworks 0.6.1

«LaTeX and friends» by Van Dongen might merit a place in the list.
