There are quite a few online guides - try searching for something like "latex 
commands". OTOH, if you have the money, the best thing is to buy a book, or 
get one from your local library.  Which one you choose depends on whether you 
want to learn LaTeX from scratch, or just want specific advice about how to 
do specific things.  In the former case, Leslie Lamport's book is still the 
best - after all, he invented the thing. In the latter case, I recommend 
Goosens et al., _The LateX Companion_, which also has some nice tips on 
not-exactly-latex stuff, like pstricks.  If you want to get into heavy TeX 
stuff, then _Making TeX Work_ (I forget the author) is good.  If you want to 
get into _really_ heavy TeX stuff, then Donald Knuth's _The TeXBook_ is still 
the Bible.
