Accessibility written at an introductory level, the book explains how high-quality results can be obtained by someone with only a little TeX background. In a straightforward manner, it details why TeX approaches its subject in the way it does, and provides the context into which it fits. Special emphasis is placed on document structure and practical work. This book is a carefully paced, tutorial introduction for people first learning the system.
Special emphasis is given to what can go wrong, and how to fix it when it does.
