Basic structure of a document:Basic structure of a document:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}\begin{document}

\end{document}

Title and AuthorTitle and Author

\title{My test document}

\author{Humpty Dumpty}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

Page 12: Giving Effective Feedback

Sectioning:Sectioning:

  The sectioning commands available depend on the document class. Important ones are:

    \section   \subsection

   \subsubsection    \chapter

Page 13: Giving Effective Feedback

Plain text:Plain text:

• Plain English text needs few LaTeX commands.  

• LaTeX does the formatting.

•  Several blanks are treated like one.

• Text is usually set left and right aligned.

• An empty line starts a new paragraph.

Special characters:Special characters:

    { and }    group things in LaTeX      %        starts a LaTeX comment       $         starts or ends maths mode $$ starts or ends maths display mode      \          starts a LaTeX command

To type a special character, precede it with a \

e.g. \$ prints $ and \% prints %.

Changing Fonts:Changing Fonts:

   LaTeX supports different fonts, e.g. bold face, italics, etc.

Bold: {\bf he}llo  appears as hello.italics:      {\it he}llo   appears as hello .underline:  {\underline he}llo appears

as hello. 

Page 16: Giving Effective Feedback

Environments:Environments:

LaTeX supports different environments:

\begin{....}

\end{...}    

Page 17: Giving Effective Feedback

Itemizing:Itemizing:

\begin{itemize}     \item bread     \item butter

\end{itemize}                         appears as

• bread• butter

Page 18: Giving Effective Feedback

Enumerating:Enumerating:

\begin{enumerate}     \item bread     \item butter

\end{enumerate}                  appears as

  1. bread2. butter

Page 19: Giving Effective Feedback

Description Environment:Description Environment:

\begin{description}     \item[bread]  (multi grain)     \item[butter]  (unsalted)

\end{description}                   appears as

bread   (multi grain) butter  (unsalted)

Page 20: Giving Effective Feedback

Making Tables:Making Tables:\begin{tabular}{ l l c  r }

    bread & 1 loafs & 500 g & \$2.50 \\

    chocolate & 2 bars & 100 g each & total \$ 2.40 \\ \end{tabular}   appears as

bread 1 loaf 500 g $2.50 chocolate 2 bars 100 g each total $2.40

Page 21: Giving Effective Feedback

Borders:Borders:

If two columns are separated with a

vertical bar | there will be a vertical

line between these columns in the

table.

Page 22: Giving Effective Feedback

Typing Mathematics:Typing Mathematics:

   Mathematics is typed in a special mode, the maths mode.

    $ ..... $  or \{ .... \}    

    For example, the intersection $A \cap B $ of the sets A and B.

Page 23: Giving Effective Feedback

Displaying Mathematics:Displaying Mathematics:

   The displayed maths mode is enclosed in

   $$ .... $$ or \[ ... \]               

Displayed mathematics is set centred on a line by itself.

Mathematical Symbols

There are many. See handout.

e.g. \alpha, \beta Greek alphabet

\sum, \product

\rightarrow

and many more

New Environments:New Environments:

The following definition before\begin{document} defines anenvironment for theorems:

\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}[section]

Cross Referencing:Cross Referencing:

\begin{equation}\label{eq:sum}     x = y + z \end{equation}

  By Equation (\ref{eq:sum}) we can seethat....                 

Page 27: Giving Effective Feedback

                        appears as:  

  x = y +z                             (11) By Equation (11) we can see that

Labelling other Environments:Labelling other Environments:

You can also label other environments, e.g. sections.

When using cross referencing,make sure you run LaTeX at least twice.
