[edutex] Seeking feedback on a beginner's guide to LaTex

[Matt Kline]

Hi folks,

I'm working on a beginner's guide for LaTeX that:

1. Is short. (I got started with help from the LaTeX Wikibook and guides in
   CTAN's "Tutorial LaTeX" topic, but those are a bit too long to recommend as
   brief primers. They're _fantastic_ references, but when a coworker asks
   for an intro, throwing >150 pages their way seems counterproductive.)

2. Focuses on modern LaTeX features, such as Unicode input, OpenType support,
   and microtypography. (A beginner coming from other desktop publishing tools
   doesn't need to know - at least not right away - about input encodings,
   font metric files, and so on.)

I'm looking for some review from the LaTeX community, but unfortunately I'm
not quite sure where to turn - is this a good venue for it?
Would you recommend any others?

You can find a draft at https://assets.bitbashing.io/misc/latex-book.pdf
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Best,
Matt Kline
