Chapter 12. Getting Support on the Internet

In this chapter, we will talk about:

  • Exploring online LaTeX resources
  • Using web forums
  • Framing a really good question
  • Creating a minimal example

Introduction

In the early times of LaTeX, most support came from user groups, for example, installation disks and personal assistance. With the rise of the Internet, most information is just a fingertip away. There are still user groups such as TUG and DANTE behind the major resources, such as CTAN. But you can install updates and locate information very independently. Furthermore, you can get help from the TeX online communities. This chapter will show you how.
