  3. What is T EX? • Donald E. Knuth started implementing the T EX engine in the late 70s. • Released in 1982 with some enhancement from the original version. • The version is converging to π and is now 3.14159. • Pronounced as Tech , not Tax . In ASCII, written as TeX . • First • Prev • Next • Last • Go Back • Full Screen • Close • Quit

  4. What is L A T EX? • A macro package built on top of Knuth’s T EX engine. • Originally written by Leslie Lamport. • Now maintained by Frank Mittelbach. • Pronounced as Lay-tech or Lah-tech . In ASCII, LaTeX . EX2 ε is pronounced as Lay-tech two e , and typed as • L A T LaTeX2e • First • Prev • Next • Last • Go Back • Full Screen • Close • Quit

  5. In the Human World... • A human author writes a manuscript and sends it to a publishing company. • One of the book designers will decide a layout , e.g. page margins, fonts, headings...etc. • The book designer records the instructions in the manuscript. • The manuscript is sent to a typesetter. • The typesetter types the manuscript according to the instructions. • First • Prev • Next • Last • Go Back • Full Screen • Close • Quit

  6. In the L T EX World... A • L A T EX is the book designer. • T EX is the typesetter. • YOU are the author. • YOU will give L A T EX instructions – L A T EX Commands. • VERY different to the WYSIWYG (MS Word, StarOffice) approach. • First • Prev • Next • Last • Go Back • Full Screen • Close • Quit

  7. To L A T EX or not to L T EX A If you want good layout, need math formulas, or many graphs/tables, using LaTeX is worth it, some might say essential. If you don’t need any of that, and must have a WYSIWIG editor, you might be able to struggle and get by with Word plus a bibliography program like Endnote. http://gomez.physics.lsa.umich.edu/˜mph/physics/ thesis/tradeoffs.html • First • Prev • Next • Last • Go Back • Full Screen • Close • Quit

  8. Common (WRONG) Assumptions Many unskilled authors often make some wrong assumptions: • MS Word is good because I can easily use some 50 odd fonts in my manuscript. • MS Word is good because I can make my manuscript look good artistically with minimal effort. • MS Word is good because I can easily add lots of photos/pictures throughout my article. All these assumptions are aimed at the aesthetics . • First • Prev • Next • Last • Go Back • Full Screen • Close • Quit

  9. The Truth • Your document/article/thesis is to be stored in the library and read by people, NOT hung up in a picture/art gallery. • Readability and understandability is far more important than how beautiful your work is. • With WYSIWYG tools, people can, and do make documents aesthetically good-looking, but with little or no consistency in structure. • L A T EX prevents this common mistake by forcing authors to declare the logical structure, L A T EX then chooses the most suitable layout. • First • Prev • Next • Last • Go Back • Full Screen • Close • Quit

  10. Advantages • Professionally crafted layouts are available. • Supports typesetting of mathematics in a convenient way. • All mathematics are in ASCII, and interpreted at run-time. Thus reducing the L A T EX file size. • Only need to learn a few easy-to-understand commands. • Force you to concentrate on the structure and logic, not the aesthtics, of your document. • Many free add-on packages. • First • Prev • Next • Last • Go Back • Full Screen • Close • Quit

  11. • Highly portable and FREE! • Compatible with almost ALL hardware and platforms. • FREE PDF conversion! • First • Prev • Next • Last • Go Back • Full Screen • Close • Quit

  12. Disadvantages • Does not work well for people who care only about aesthetics, not the contents. • The design of a whole new layout is difficult, and takes LOTS of time. – But almost always one can use the default template, such as article , report ...etc. • Very hard to write unstructured and disorganised articles that looks beautiful. • First • Prev • Next • Last • Go Back • Full Screen • Close • Quit

  13. Basic Structure A L A T EX document always has the basic structure: \documentclass[options]{format} \begin{document} ... \end{document} For example: \documentclass[a4paper, 11pt]{article} \title{This is a Title} \author{Here is an Author} \begin{document} \maketitle ... \end{document} • First • Prev • Next • Last • Go Back • Full Screen • Close • Quit

Commonly Used Pacakges \usepackage{alltt} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{color} \usepackage{enumerate} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{longtable} \usepackage{xspace} \usepackage{url} • First • Prev • Next • Last • Go Back • Full Screen • Close • Quit

  16. Viewing your L A T EX Documents Save your file with a .tex extension (e.g. foo.tex ), then there are two ways: 1. In command line (DOS-Prompt): • latex foo • pdflatex foo 2. Use Emacs or XEmacs with AuCT EX! • First • Prev • Next • Last • Go Back • Full Screen • Close • Quit

  24. Quotations The quote environment provides quoted paragraphs. The material in the environment is typeset with slightly indented margins and offset from the surrounding text. \begin{quote} Short quotes can be included between quotation marks, but longer quotes should be included in a ‘‘quote’’ environment. \end{quote} There are also two other environments for providing quotation: quotation , which indents paragraphs (quote does not) and verse , which can be used for poetry. • First • Prev • Next • Last • Go Back • Full Screen • Close • Quit

  25. verbatim Environment The verbatim environment provides a way of presenting verbatim text. All characters are treated literally and are presented in a typewriter font. This is useful for presenting the text of computer programs or for showing the output they produce. The output of verbatim environments is printed flush against the left-hand margin. It can be useful to embed a verbatim environment within a quote environment to make it stand out a little more. • First • Prev • Next • Last • Go Back • Full Screen • Close • Quit
