  1. Introduction A first L A T EX document Maths mode Tables and Figures Writing complex documents An introduction to L A T EX Emma McCoy Course Notes: Emma McCoy/Phillip Kent November 1, 2017 Emma McCoy An introduction to L A T EX

  2. Introduction A first L A T EX document Maths mode Tables and Figures Writing complex documents Resources This course is for L A T EX “2 ε ” (current standard). The previous version “2.09” works slightly differently - beware! Course website : http://www.ma.ic.ac.uk/~ejm/LaTeX/Website/ References : L A T EX User Guide & Reference Manual by Leslie Lamport (Second edition, Addison-Wesley, 1994). EX by Kopka & Daly (Third edition, A Guide to L A T Addison-Wesley, 1999) (details more advanced features). Emma McCoy An introduction to L A T EX

  4. Introduction A first L A T EX document Maths mode Tables and Figures Writing complex documents Pros Great for typing mathematics Great for complex documents – cross-referencing, labelling, bibliographies... L A T EX output is beautiful – virtually of professional-typeset quality The basic L A T EX system is FREE. L A T EX makes typing “easy”: formatting is automatic emphasis on content over formatting L A T EX is written as plain text compact, portable transferable across the internet/email accepted by all major academic publishers speeds up the publishing process reduces the chance of printing errors Emma McCoy An introduction to L A T EX

  5. Introduction A first L A T EX document Maths mode Tables and Figures Writing complex documents Cons When is it not appropriate? Many L A T EX users make their CVs, presentations and even address their letters in L A T EX but it’s not great for: documents with little text and lots of pictures. incorporating spreadsheets etc. into text. Emma McCoy An introduction to L A T EX

  6. Introduction A first L A T EX document Maths mode Tables and Figures Writing complex documents Where? Free versions of L A T EX exist across all platforms – Microsoft Windows, Linux, Unix and Apple Macintosh. Commercial (non-free) versions offer some extra features, e.g. WYSIWYG package Scientific Word or BaKoMa TeX Word . Power users should use Emacs. We will use MiKT EX: http://miktex.org/ Emma McCoy An introduction to L A T EX

  7. Introduction A first L A T EX document Maths mode Tables and Figures Writing complex documents About T EX L A T EX is a super-set (macro package) of the typesetting language T EX created by Donald Knuth Plain T EX needs programming skills – deliberate policy L A T EX (originally created by Leslie Lamport) adds functionality Originally other T EX macro packages – e.g. AMS T EX and AMS L A T EX – now, incorporated into L A T EX L A T EX and T EX are not two different languages Most T EX commands work in L A T EX Sometimes a conflict where L A T EX has re-defined a T EX command The T EXbook by Donald Knuth – standard reference for T EX Emma McCoy An introduction to L A T EX

  8. Introduction A first L A T EX document Maths mode Tables and Figures Writing complex documents Writing L A T EX Writing L A T EX is like writing computer programs in, say, Fortran or C – and there will be similar frustrations L A T EX s ource file: contains plain (ASCII) text and formatting commands Commands are preceded by a “ \ ”. Nine reserved characters: \ % $ ^ _ & # ~ { } If you want a “%”, type: \% Source file must end in “ .tex ” Emma McCoy An introduction to L A T EX
