The LaTeX Tutorial -- A Primer was published by the Indian TeX Users Group
in 2002. The intended audience were the novice users of LaTeX, particularly
the students and researchers who're disgruntled with the wordprocessors
(which promise a lot with dismal delivery!). The tutorial has been very
popular among this community. There were shortcomings by way of typos,
errors in the verbatim code listings and lack of a comprehensive index.
Since the Indian TeX Users Group is now non-functional, Sayahna Foundation
has taken up the publication of this valued documentation and released this
second edition.

It is only a pre-release version 1 for the user community to go through the
book and suggest further modifications, corrections, etc. Many persons have
contributed to this volume, but notable among them is Dr E Krishnan, an
ardent free software and math education activist who served as the chief
editor of the book.

The chapter on boxes have been revised, so also a new chapter on graphics
inclusion has been added as the replacement of the very basic original
content about the topic in the floats chapter of previous edition. An
exhaustive index has also been added.

A release candidate version 2 is also planned which will happen on the last
week of February 2020 with two more chapters added (i) how to write a
thesis or dissertation using LaTeX and (ii) typesetting documents with
Indic scripts with special reference to Malayalam script. Readers are also
requested to contribute to this volume if they can.
