You'll never learn TeX from the man page. That'll only tell you how to 
invoke the tools. I think it's fair to say the TeX document preparation 
is an art. Certainly a skill, and not one easily come by, for the most 
part. And certainly WYSIWYG it ain't! (Though for all I know there are 
WYSIWYG front-ends for synthesizing TeX equations.)

There's tutorial information out there, but I'm not qualified to make 
suggestions. Search the net.
