The Visual LaTeX FAQ (or more accurately The Visual LaTeX FAQ, since the original is in English) is a document that apparently has now published more than three years, but I just discovered. Never too late.
is a PDF document containing odd number of solved examples of situations that have lived more than a few times while composing LaTeX documents, such as two figures in the same environment who want to align the top, change margins half the document beginning of a paragraph with a "drop cap" (larger than the other), double-spaced text, enumerations interrupted by a paragraph then be resumed, and so on.
document striking thing is the way it presents all this information. The visible text is not really important (not more than filler text in Latin). What is important is that each of these "examples" can be seen directly resolved in the PDF and surrounded by a green box, without further explanation. By placing the mouse over the green box, I get a popup (only if you're viewing with Acrobat Reader) that explains more of what this particular case.
For example (bottom) at the foot of the first page, where would the page number, we see a rectangle empty green border. Leaving the mouse over the popup says "How to get rid of page numbers." And if we click on that point, the Web browser opens and takes us directly to the FAQ entry which resolves this doubt.
In some places the rectangles are red instead of green, indicating that in this case has received an unexpected or erroneous (eg blurred text in PDF, word stuck, or incorrect page references.) In this case the link leads to the explanation and solution.
is difficult to explain, and it is best you see for yourself . I thought a very original and effective way to summarize many common questions, with links to their solutions.
