-I am neither a mathematician nor a physicist, but I've been fascinated with typography for as long as I can remember. I finally decided to take the plunge and learn \LaTeX{}, but because I have a project-based mind, I needed a project to learn it. I ended up creating a zine about Linux, typeset entirely in \LaTeX{}. It's been a fun ongoing project, and I've learned a lot as a result. I finally decided that instead of keeping notes everywhere (mostly in the preambles the documents I've been working on) I decided to write a little book that recorded what I've learned to use as a reference guide. If I had something like this when I started, things probably would have gone much more smoothly for me.

A lot of this material has been previously published in that zine, but there is quite a bit here which is new.

 \section{\texttt{\}\%} is Your Best Friend}
 
+If you are getting an error in a long line (long because it has a lot of commands in it), you can try commenting out the entire line by placing a \texttt{\%} at the beginning of it. If that clears up the problem, you can isolate which command is causing the issue by placing \texttt{\}\%} at the end of next to the last command and recompiling. If the error goes away then you know the problem lies in the last command.
 
+If it doesn't, move the to the end of the second next to the last command and try again. In this way, you can determine which command is causing the problem.
 
+Keep in mind that the error may not be in the line in question. The line where \LaTeX{} is indicating where it is stumbling. The error may be in a variable you called somewhere else, or in how you loaded the package in the preamble.

+\section{Learn How to Ask Good Questions}
+
+If you get serious about learning anything, you'll eventually find yourself with a problem which you can't solve, which means that you will need to ask for help, most likely in one of forums listed on page \pageref{othersources}. If you spend any amount of time on those forums, you will quickly learn (if you are observant) that there are good ways to ask questions and bad ways to ask a question. 
+
+In general, a good question has three parts:
+
+\begin{enumerate}[noitemsep]
+	\item A statement of what you are trying to achieve.
+	\item What you have already done to achieve that.
+	\item What results you are actually getting.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\noindent{}Examples of bad question include:
+
+\begin{itemize}[noitemsep]
+	\item Questions without an MWE.
+	\item Saying ``it doesn't work'' but you not explaining what you were expecting and/or what results you are getting.
+	\item Homework questions that are basically ``how do you do \texttt{<thing>}?'' but for which it is quite apparent that you have done no actual research yourself, much less tried to do yourself.
+	\item Thinly disguised complaints about how \LaTeX{} works, or the structure of the forum, or how a package is documented, etc.\footnote{To be fair, not all packages are documented equally. \LaTeX{} has contributors from all over the globe, and the package documentation which \textit{you are reading in English} may well have been written by someone for whom English is a second, third, or fourth language. Asking for \textit{clarification} about something in the documentation is perfectly fine; \textit{complaining} about it is not.}
+	\item Questions which could be very easily answered by simply reading the package documentation.
