Easy to follow LaTeX tutorial on layout?
- by lexu
I want to layout a page using LaTeX and distribute text snippets/blocks in predefined locations.
Something like this
+--------------------------------------------------------+
| +-------------+ |
| |bla bla bla| |
| |bla bl ab lab| +-------------+ |
| |bla bla bla| |bla bla bla| |
| |bla bl ab lab| |bla bl ab lab| |
| +-------------+ |bla bla bla| |
| |bla bl ab lab| |
| +-------------+ +----+ |
| |more| |
| Ich und Du |text| |
| Müllers Kuh +----+ |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------+
My guess is that I should go about this using a minipage or using boxes like
\begin{minipage}[b][2cm]{8cm}
\mbox{more} \newline
\mbox{text} \newline
\end{minipage}
Is there a tutorial or a 'how to' page that you know, that shows me how to do this - not a list all LaTeX idioms, I have some books for that. But my books are more focused on command lists, scientific publishing and math ..
