It sounds like you're primarily talking about LaTeX issues, rather  
than specifically XeTeX ones. Do you have one (or more) of the  
available LaTeX reference works, such as the LaTeX Companion? Or the  
Not So Short Introduction? As a very-occasional LaTeX user myself,  
I'm not very familiar with all the available resources, but I know  
some exist out there....
