(not SoC related) I'm just starting out with LaTeX and the learning curve is actually quite shallow, except for certain bumps in the road, such as importing bmp files. I couldn't figure out why my graphicx package couldn't recognize bmp's while apperently other people used thier graphicx packages with bmp's all the time.
My first attempt at solving this problem, which is preventing me from finishing my lab report, is to download every latex plugin available online.
(Update: Downloading every package worked. I can now use bmp's.)
