The LATEX User's Guide & Reference Manual is a very useful
book which goes into much more detail than we have attempted here, for
those who wish to delve deeper into the intricacies of LATEX. It
is highly recommended, and not very expensive, at least as far as
reference books go. Since Athena officially supports LATEX, you
can ask questions about it using olc, and look through the OLC
Stock Answers for the answers to other commonly asked questions. You
may also wish to look at the online version of the LATEX user's
guide, which is particularly useful when converting documents to
LATEX2e format. It is found at
/afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/tex/share/texmf/doc/latex/base/usrguide.dvi.
You can also come by the SIPB office (in W20-557, just outside the Student Center cluster), or call us on the phone (253-7788), particularly if you have a more obscure or complicated question. As a last resort, The TEXbook describes the TEX typesetting system, which forms the basis for LATEX. It is significantly harder to understand than the LATEX manual.
