Other TeX Resources
Other valuable resources for a TeX user
- TeX-related publications
- The (La)TeX Navigator. (Owing to lack of staff, French and German versions are no longer maintained. Volunteers to provide translation support are welcome; please contact Denis Roegel if you can help.)
- Hypertext Help with LaTeX from the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (even rocket scientists need to read the manual!)
- CTAN -- the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network, with locations around the world.
Use the CTAN search facility, implemented by Jim Hefferon, to look for the name of a file you need, or search Graham Williams' TeX Catalogue by keyword
The TeX Catalogue contains concise descriptions of TeX and LaTeX tools and packages, mostly available from CTAN, and includes additional links to many informative Web pages and authors' home sites.
The search screen also contains pointers to other information sources.
