If you want to learn how to write your documents with LaTeX, this introduction

is for you. It contains the basic information about setting up a LaTeX system

and using it to write documents. The current stable version of the package may

be found on [CTAN][ctan-english-url]. Many translations exist (though not

necessarily up to date) and can be found [here][ctan-url].

## Building from source

The newest version of the document is available on [GitHub][github]. To build

the document yourself you will need reasonably recent versions (mine are listed

in the parentheses) of the following programs:

- `TeXLive` (`2022`, `full`)

- `git` (`2.36.1`)

- `GNU make` (`4.3`)

- `pygments` (`2.12.0`)

After installing them there are just three steps:

1. Clone the repository with submodules.

   `git clone https://github.com/oetiker/lshort.git --recurse-submodules`

2. Change to the cloned directory.

   `cd lshort`

3. Compile.

   `make`

Note that compiling for the first time takes a _really_ long time. This is

because `pygments` and example cache need to build. Subsequent runs should be

significantly faster.

The current development builds are also available on [Actions][ci-url] page.
