An introduction to typesetting with LATEX

This is the online version of Formatting Information, a book about how to use the LATEX document preparation system. LATEX takes over where wordprocessors and desktop publishing systems leave off, making it possible to automate your formatting consistently, accurately, and reusably, without the tedious and repetitive manual formatting required by other systems.

This book has helped thousands of users get started. It’s now in its eighth edition (2025), but this is also a production release: everything has been tested but some details had to be rewritten and this was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic until the release of of TEX Live (2023). The only things you need are a computer and a copy of LATEX...and a document that you want to typeset. LATEX works on almost any computer, and you can download it from the TUG web site or use one of the online in-browser versions like Overleaf or Crixet.

In the web and eBook editions, this page doubles as the index, but in the print (PDF) edition, the index is at the end. If you haven’t done any typesetting before, I recommend that you start at the beginning. If you’re itching to get started, and you feel you know enough about computers and text-editing already, you can try the Quick Start instead.

Either way, welcome to LATEX. Take it gently for a while, and get used to being able to spend more time actually writing than formatting. If you find mistakes, please let me know so that I can correct them.

Some font conventions are used in the text and the index to distinguish between different meanings. These are listed in § 7 above. The entries in the index are all hyperlinked to their source. In the web and eBook editions, subsequent multiple occurrences give the section number or name. Page or section numbers in bold type indicate a canonical location where the entry is explained.

v. 4 — 1 April 2009

Major revision; Installation and Editors sections reorganised, all package references updated, and new ones added.

v. 3.7 — 22 December 2006

There have again been some small but significant improvements, both in the LATEX code, and in the default installations and implementations. The default colour package is now xcolor; the default output for many people is now PDF; and the advent of XƎTEX means that TrueType fonts and Unicode are now much more easily supported. The DocBook DTD has been updated to 4.4, and the TypeBook DTD shim likewise, and the IGNOREd code from 3.5 and earlier versions has now finally been dropped. XSLT still has the notorious design flaw of ignoring whitespace nodes in mixed content when a DTD is used, but this seems to have gone unnoticed except by the publishing industry. The use of the citetitle element for bibliographic references has been replaced by biblioref.

v. 3.6 — 31 March 2005

Since the publication of the November 2002 edition in TUGboat, several new books on LATEX have been released, and this edition reflects some of the new material and approaches contained in them. See the Bibliography for details of these publications. The only technical change has been to use empty elements for the TEX, LATEX, and other logos instead of the more usual entities so that the HTML version can use CSS to produce better logos. Thanks to whoever wrote the CSS for TEX4ht, which is where I found the styles.

v. 3.5 — 29 July 2004

Modified DTD to add span element type to allow use of external entities for formatted TEX, LATEX, and other logos in the HTML version. Changed entity declaration in the internal subset to enable this, and switched declarations and marked sections in the DTD. This now means it needs Saxon 7 or 8 to process, as Saxon 6 does not handle parameter entities values used as parameter entity declarations.

v. 3.4 — 9 November 2003

Applied all Barbara Beeton’s corrections (see separate emails) and rewrote a few formatting macros to allow the document to fit more easily into the US Letter shape. It would be nice if it would also format for A5 so that it could become a paperback but that’s another day’s work. Started on writing the missing sections (Installing Type 1 CM Fonts and Going beyond LATEX, but these are not finished yet) and rewrote entirely the existing (non-CM) Type 1 font installation procedure in line with the new (unreleased) Gutta-Percha script. Added hidden meanings for CD, DVD, IBM.

v. 3.3 — 20 August 2003

Fixed XSLT bug which wrongly lettered appendices. Fixed problem which called wrong font for examples of Times and Helvetica (thanks to William Adams). Updated numerous typos, added comments about pdftex option to color. Rewrote formatting for TUGboat.

v. 3.2 — 5 March 2003

Finished rewrite. Revised and expanded almost everything.

v. 3.1 — 28 August 2002

Recast in DocBook and reworded some sections. Started the big rewrite.

Technical note: The PDF edition was typeset with LuaLATEX in DejaVu Serif, DejaVu Sans, and Nimbus Mono Narrow, using the XML master document also used in the web and eBook editions, transformed with XSLT 3, Calibre, and kindlegen. Readers of the Kindle (.mobi) version may notice that the TEX and related logos are reproduced in plain text rather than with the special spacing and alignment normally seen; this is to compensate for the many deficiencies of the Kindle file format and the Kindle devices, which are not capable of reproducing microtypographic adjustments. Standard Electronic Publication v3 (EPUB) format eBook readers are not affected by this and show the logos in their correct form.
