ShareLaTex
LaTex
This website is not designed to teach you how to use LaTeX. Resources for learning LaTeX are free, easy to find and are likely to do a better job than this website ever could.
To this end, if you would like to learn LaTeX, please consider the following resources:
1. The LaTeX WikiBooks book is a very comprehensive resource full of examples and descriptions for almost everything you could possibly need to know about LaTeX.
2. LaTeX Community is an excellent resource for answering any questions you have about LaTeX. Very supportive of new users.
3. The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX 2e by Tobias Oetiker, Hubert Partl, Irene Hyna and Elisabeth Schlegl. This is another very well known resource that aims to teach LaTeX to a beginner, perhaps in a more analytical fashion than the WikiBooks book.
4. The TeX Users Group website. This website was founded in 1980 as a resource for users of TeX and LaTeX. Specifically, this page lists many resources available for LaTeX both online and in print. (TeX Resources on the Web)
