TeX/LaTeX seems unique in lacking a good online manual. Different people prefer different presentations. I read EVERYTHING I could find on LaTeX (including the not-so-short-introduction), but I still could not put the pieces together. I even purchased and read a spiral-bound copy of Knuth's "The TeX Book". Ironically, I had run across a copy of Kopka & Daly a year or more previously, but I had passed it up. Not until I purchased and Kopka & Daly did I begin to understand LaTeX as a system and develop proficiency with it. Kopka & Daly did for me what all the other books and manuals failed to do.
