A book for the new user of XeLaTeX, a modern version of LaTeX aimed at meeting their basic needs. The presentation of various topics is done in a simple and comprehensible way and is accompanied by many examples.

There is an in-depth reference to topics on the formatting of simple texts, scientific texts, and presentations or posters for conferences. All that a new user of LaTeX needs to know regarding fonts and text layout is thoroughly explained.

Finally, the process of creating beautiful and practical graphics is described in detail with numerous examples and applications in charts, tables, and figures. The aim of the book – with the help of an extensive index of terms – is to facilitate the reader and user to format simple texts, papers, conference or seminar presentations, articles, books, and even doctoral dissertations.

XeLaTeX is not just a text processor. It is a powerful typesetting program. Its great advantage is portability, as it can be installed and used on any operating system. Its source files are written in a simple text editor, have durability over time, and can be recalled at any moment.

To understand how important these features are, it suffices to think about how many files have become "inactive" after changes and updates of well-known text processors.
