About

It’s easier to add information than it is to decide that information is no longer needed: questions are therefore not deleted but are “retired” (removed from the main index) over time.

The learnlatex.org site is aimed at providing a basic introduction to LaTeX. To make the material accessible, it is broken down into a series of small lessons. The demonstration files provided are also hosted on-line to let new users get started straight away.

The LaTeX ecosystem is rich and complex, and this can be intimidating to new users. To avoid overload, this site therefore is quite deliberately limited in scope, covering essential ideas using core LaTeX packages and classes, and leaving further help to other places.

The key point is that you can use the examples without any issues. You do not need to reference them, you do not need to share them when you modify them: you can just use them.
