The fifth part is again a little bit more advanced and covers both standard material defining commands counters etc and material that is usually avoided in elementary textbooks but which is essential in many situations for instance the use of keys In the sixth part I was impressed by the chapter on the use of OpenType fonts al though this material is for more advanced users The book covers everything a beginner needs to know as well as a significant number of topics not present in elementary textbooks Van Dongen s style is easy to read and never dull The author avoids the temptation of covering entire areas or describing all the packages dealing with a particular subject He prefers instead to focus on the subject and on a small number of appropriate packages What I particularly like is his attention to detail You can find many small things which are usually skipped but which contribute to the effectiveness of the book In fact this is one of the very few books on ATEX that really takes into consideration the beauty of the document as a whole and not just particular constructions You can have beautiful fonts or beautiful equations and IXTEX is famous for them but it is rare that a IXTEX user knows how to arrange them esthetically on the page Van Dongen s book itself is a good example of its principles I liked very much the book s page design as well as the appearance of figure and table captions There is however a
