Hi,

Welcome to the beginnings of Tufte LaTeX package to help you produce Tufte-style handouts, reports, and notes.

== Quick Start

Try typesetting sample-handout.tex with the following sequence of commands,

pdflatex sample-handout bibtex sample-handout pdflatex sample-handout pdflatex sample-handout

The result should look like sample-handout.pdf.

The sample book can be compiled with the following:

pdflatex sample-book bibtex sample-book texindy --language english sample-book.idx

or makeindex sample-book.idx

pdflatex sample-book pdflatex sample-book pdflatex sample-book
