Recently a friend asked me if I could send him some links on Emacs and Latex. After sending it to him, thought it might prove useful to others, so I'm reposting it here.


Preliminaries:

http://kieranhealy.org/emacs-starter-kit.html (Setting up Emacs and
latex in Windows, Mac, or Linux)
http://www.kieranhealy.org/files/misc/workflow-apps.pdf (overview of
what's in the kit, and why you might want to use it - targeted at graduate students in the social sciences, but still fairly general)


Emacs (Note: After setting up, use the built in tutorial first):

http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/index.html
(Reference manual - is built into the editor as well)
http://home.uchicago.edu/gan/file/emacs.pdf (cheat sheet)

Latex:

http://www.techscribe.co.uk/ta/latex-introduction.pdf ( One page overview)
http://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/info/lshort/english/lshort.pdf (main reference)
http://www.andy-roberts.net/misc/latex/ (tutorials for various levels)
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX (Wikipedia's unfinished book on latex)
