That's why I have three versions of the source files. (Any one will work fine with LATEX, but some text editors will have a problem with the wrong version.)
LATEX can be learned somewhat like HTML; by looking at some simple examples of LATEX source code and the resulting output, even beginners can quickly get the idea of how various things work. A note about these LATEX file examples I use pdflatex to produce the output for all of my work, so that is how these examples are set up.
