Hello,

I want to learn LaTeX. I've searched the web and there are clearly an abundance of tutorials around.

What do you consider to be the most complete tutorial on learning LaTeX? This could be in video form (as a video series) or a pdf/book form.

Thank you.

Another remark:
Sometimes I click on a reply button here only to see how they wrote the formulas.
You just have to delete the stuff before responding by chance. It also is remembered by the editor here sometimes, so it will remain.
Beside this, it's a short way to learn something.
