Which book (free or otherwise) was the most useful to you when you started learning LaTeX?  I am frequently asked this question by friends who want to learn LaTeX, and I recommend the book which got me started, , but I feel that there might be better options around.  Also see .

I'm in the process of thesis writing. I'm LaTeX newbie and have its limited knowledge and experience. I'm thinking to use LaTeX or LyX for my thesis. Which one is better for thesis write up? If I go with LaTeX then how can I use it more efficiently. In case of LaTeX I'd like to have separate .tex file for each chapter and each chapter will have its own bibliography. Then how can I combine all chapters and other issue would of cross references. I have to my Univ. template for thesis write up. I'd highly appreciate if someone provide me general guidelines to manage and write a long document like thesis in LaTeX.

In the spirit of a free-form Friday on StackOverflow, I'd like to know if I should consider learning ConTeXt.  What got me into LaTeX way back in 1994 was having structural markup that made longer documents easier to write.  What got me into XeTeX was being able to use my Mac's fonts just like I could in a word processor.  What makes ConTeXt users passionate about it or at least willing to forsake LaTeX?  Edit: Thanks for all the answers and great discussion in the comments.  The whole page deserves a green check.  Success! I am now interested in ConTeXt.

As opposed to LaTeX, which is addressed in another question.  Most of the references I've seen get too complex too quickly. I'm looking for something that gives me a top-down view of the language - what the parts of a document are and how (and when) each is processed before proceeding to infinite detail like character classes (e.g.). Something heavily example-based, with real-world examples, would be helpful as well. I just find the language incredibly obscure and difficult to grok.

Is there something like indent for LaTeX? I have a collaborator that is using Scientific Workplace and the code it produces is totally messed up; I know I shouldn't expect miracles, but any machine support would be useful.  EDIT: This question is quite undefined without my comment to KeithB's answer; the idea is to save VC-friendly one sentence/one paragraph per text file line structure which SWT "fixes" by wrapping everything into fixed column width format.

Is there any way to produce doc/docx files from LaTeX?

I'd like to use LaTeX to typeset a novel. Could you recommend me any template?  What I mean is a template (some .tex file) where I can include my chapterN.tex files (mainly plain text) and get a pretty good design with zero work :)

Is there any package in LaTeX available to typeset poems. I referred this link  but it didn't help me out!!!!

I'd like to learn and use LaTeX on Ubuntu.  What packages do I need?  What is the best editor for LaTeX code on Ubuntu for a new LaTeX user?  I'd also like the ability to see the code in one pane and the results in a second pane, if possible -- not necessarily WYSIWYG, though.

I wish to write a paper about linguistics, so I thought about trying LaTeX. Sadly I couldn't figure out how to write the unique characters I need for my work, for example epsilon with a little tilde above it, i with two dots above it, velar nasal and so on.  I know I can write stuff like ó with \'{o}, but I couldn't figure out how to put the epsilon in there, or how to write more unique characters.

I would like to convert a large LaTeX project (i.e. spanning multiple files) into plain text. The purpose is generation of statistics, so representing mathematics is not an issue. In fact, all mathematics is ideally ignored.  I have found  but could not get it to run. It seems unfinished, but is exactly what I am looking for otherwise.

I know that there are a already number of questions on this site about good instructional (La)TeX materials for users at different levels.  What I am interested in, though, is what set of documents will give me (in which reading order) as complete an understanding as possible of TeX and LaTeX. If one would like to know all, why bother with "intros" anyway ;-)  I was gonna write that for TeX the best first document (and, in the sense described above, technically the only necessary one) should be "The TeXbook", but then there's e-TeX, which is not covered. And I don't know to what extent there is other, hidden advanced knowledge one can only learn only from various advanced tutorials or from looking at the source code.  Let's, for simplicity, assume that I am excluding knowledge about LaTeX packages from this question. For those, the best way is to read the package documentation. One should skim the package documentation of certain frequently used packages (those one is using) anyways.  Once one has an understanding of (e-)TeX, I have the same question for LaTeX 2e.  One reason for asking this question is that I never cease to be amazed at what gems of obscure tricks there exist. There's gotta be a way of acquiring this knowledge in a most efficient way other than by "reading around randomly and perusing the source code".
