Hi Dhruva,
I've been using \LaTeX since the early '90s and would be
happy to provide some example documents. I think LaTeX
is much easier for beginners if they are given some
example files so (letters, articles, etc.) they can treat
them like templates...
Ed
ps - It used to be difficult to produce good-looking
PDFs with LaTeX/dvips but using recent tetex
packages and ghostscript v7.0x:
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/
does a *beautiful* job. The commands are:
latex filename
dvips -Ppdf -G0 filename
ps2pdf filename.ps
and *bang* you have a great-looking typeset PDF
to share on the web. ;-)
