A T Structure of a L EXDocument Introduction to Beamer Hafida Benhidour Introduction All latex documents have the following structure: to L A T EX Introduction \ documentclass [ . . . ] { . . . } to Beamer \ usepackage { . . . } \ begin { document } . . . \ end { document } 6 / 49

A T L EXCommands Introduction to Beamer Hafida Benhidour Always begin with a backslash \ : \ documentclass, Introduction \ usepackage. to L A T EX Case sensitive. Introduction to Beamer Consist of letters only. Some have parameters. Square brackets [ ] after the command name are for optional parameters. Curly braces { } after the command name are for required parameters 7 / 49

The Command: \ documentclass Introduction a r t i c l e to Beamer r e p o r t Hafida \ documentclass [ o p t i o n s ] { beamer } Benhidour book Introduction l e t t e r to L A T EX . . . Introduction to Beamer First line of all L A T EXdocuments. Specifies the type of the document: article: Research paper. report: Multi-chapter document. book: For books. letter: For letters. [options] can be used to set font size (10, 11, or 12 pt), set paper size, use one or two columns, etc. Most science publishers (Springer, Elsevier, IEEE, ACM etc.) have their own document classes. These are predefined classes. 8 / 49

Packages Introduction to Beamer Hafida Benhidour \ usepackage { package } Introduction to L A T EX Introduction Packages add new features and commands to LaTeX. to Beamer Common packages: amsmath, amssymb: for math symbols. graphicx: for including graphics and images. Can also define new commands in the preamble, specify page numbering, etc. 9 / 49

Input the Text Introduction to Beamer Hafida Benhidour The body of the text is written after the \ begin { document } command: Introduction to L A T EX \ begin { document } Introduction to Beamer Enter the document content here \ end { document } Remark \ begin { ... } commands always need to be followed (eventually) by \ end { ... } commands. 10 / 49

Cross-referencing Cross references can be made using the commands \ label and Introduction to Beamer \ ref. Hafida Benhidour Example Introduction to L A T EX \ s e c t i o n { I n t r o d u c t i o n } Introduction \ l a b e l { sec : i n t r o } to Beamer This i s the i n t r o d u c t i o n . . . \ s e c t i o n { Conclusion } As mentioned i n Section \ r e f { sec : i n t r o } , we have . . . L A T EXupdates the references automatically. It is possible to use any identifier as a label. It is custom to use the prefixes: sec:xxx for section labels, fig:xxx for figure labels, chap:xxx for chapter labels, tab:xxx for table labels, eq:xxx for equation labels. 17 / 49

Inserting Tables To include tables, you must use the following commands. Introduction to Beamer Example Hafida Benhidour Table \ r e f { t a b l e example } Introduction to L A T EX shows a t a b l e .
