Note: The explanation over inclusion of external image is
nice.
It has (I not know in recent year) most important LaTeX reference in
Brazil, but is is not updated on several years. If does not explain
uniformy on all topics, but concentrate in some specific tópics. If
want the portuguese reference, will used in conjunction to [1].
