Using LaTeX to typeset your written documents

TLDR

The aim of this page is to give a super simple quick start for using LaTeX to typeset your documents.

What is...?

LaTeX is a set of tools for turning marked up text into beautiful documents.

Why?

Word (& word processors in general) are pretty bad for any substantial piece of writing. LaTeX is one alternative that you should consider. However, like most general and powerful tools, it requires a bit of knowledge to help you get started.
