The first priority for authors is to write the content of the manual, but the manual isn't just a simple PDF. Authors should use LaTeX language to mark up the text. You don't have to learn the whole language to do your job as an author; there are specific tags that are used. Our <a href="http://files.ubuntu-manual.org/style-guide.pdf">style guide</a> (PDF) should teach you all you need to know about LaTeX.

By compiling the manual you will find any syntax errors in the LaTeX markup. You can fix the errors and review your work more easily. It isn't necessary for authors to compile the manual, but we encourage you to do so in order to be able to fix any possible errors and see what your work looks like.
