\LaTeX{} is a tool for creating beautiful writing,
or a torture device that drives you to the brink of madness
every\enspace time
you\enspace see\quad
bad\quad spacing\quad for the rest of your\,life.
One of the two.
Despite origins that can be traced back four decades,
it remains one of the best typesetting programs around.
Many of its guides, however, haven't aged as well.
This short book will get you started with \LaTeX{}
without bogging you down in nonsense that lost its relevance
back in the 90s. % I was in a very famous TV show.
