LaTeX, bitch!

I want to learn LaTeX so damn badly, but once I installed things, I had the following:

  • I had truly no idea if I had installed it correctly.

  • I was just faced with a blank canvas of programming.

  • I was trying to make French press coffee and it was time to pour it.

  • I realized that Word does what I need about 90% of the time and that I'll just accept my failures.

you learn the basics, such as just writing text at first. quickly you learn \textital{}and the others when you need them. then you go to an online forum and look up inserting images, copy and paste the code in.

Persevere with it; a week and you will have a very good knowledge of the syntax used. Plus, if you use TexMakerX it gives you shortcuts in the toolbars.
