Summary description: a french guide on LaTeX – for beginners or advanced
users
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
This is a new guide on LaTeX, entirely in French and made by a French guy
who loves LaTeX and thinks there are lots of English guides
available on the Internet (not that they are bad, some are even well
written).
So, if you're French and a complete beginner in LaTeX, or if you're just
interested in LaTeX (and understand French a little), I hope
this guide can be of some use. It is full of MWEs (Minimal Working Example
: documentclass, packages and the main LaTeX code) so it is
more easy to use (I think).
I hope it can help someone ... If you like it or find a mistake, don't
hesitate to leave a comment on the GGform available (link on
the introduction of the guide or in the CTAN page of the guide).
Thanks,
A. B.
