[nfbcs] LaTeX [was "Re: Computer science mentors?"]

[Sarah Jevnikar]

Thanks everyone! Also thanks to whoever changed the subject line.
I currently have MiKTeX, Winedt and Notepad++ installed and am making use of bookshare books and Google, but I've been spoiled with step-by-step courses in life so need to get used to a more self-directed way of learning. I also need to get over the intimidation factor. And learn how to use Winedt...
Thanks again!
Sarah

I do exactly the same things. I've been using latex since long before the world wide web existed but now a days, I google it. The wikibook on latex is an excellent place to start. After creating the doc in latex, I convert it to a pdf with pdflatex and that's the document I sent out. 
This is all linux, of course. That's another issue.
