Thanks Jason for a wonderful talk. I would also like to suggest https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/ as a very good and simple resource. regards, Sachintha. On 04/07/2012, at 11:42 AM, Jason White wrote:

The notes and references from my talk at yesterday's Luv meeting are available at http://jasonjgw.net/latex-presentation/ and you will find a list of references at http://jasonjgw.net/latex-presentation/latex-references.html

A few people asked about these after the talk, thus I am posting details here.

As an additional note, if you want word-by-word diffs of revisions of a TeX document in Git, use the --word-diff option of git diff, after adding the following line to your .gitattributes file (creating that file in the top-level repository directory if required). *.tex diff=tex

See the gitattributes(5) manual page and the git-diff(1) manual page for details of word diffs, including colour highlighting support.

git hadn't been invented when I finished my thesii, but wdiff did. I don't know how the outputs compare because I don't have a handy .tex,v right now to do a git diff between, but my standard word diff invocation would be: wdiff -a old.tex new.tex (dunno whether screenreaders can show highlights/strikethrough though!) -- Tim Connors
