     #the first two field are to separate parts of the file and indicate the current part
     #the third field is just a check that the right file is in the right directory
     #the fourth field is a revision date, so we have one for every paper, html or pdf

=====|abstract

This is the first in a series of columns designed for the beginner or
non-expert TeX or LaTeX user.

<p>This first column is divided into two main parts: the installation
of TeX on your computer, and creating a simple LaTeX document. The
installation section gives an overview of installing TeX on a computer
system, and provides a list of detailed resources for installation on
different computers and operating systems. The section on creating a
sample LaTeX document shows the basic elements of a LaTeX source file
and guides the reader step-by-step in creating a document.
