I'd like to forward this mail by Herbert which was obviously directed to
the list but did not appear there, at least not on its relay at
Gmane.org, so far, FWIW.

Regards,
Jürgen.

Or `Guide to LaTeX,' 4th Ed., Kopka & Daly, which falls between
Lamport's book and LaTeX Companion or `More Math Into LaTeX,' 4th Ed.,
Grätzer, especially if you do lots of maths.
