A very, very basic A very, very basic introduction to LaTeXintroduction to LaTeX
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
Sectioning:Sectioning:
The sectioning commands available depend on the document class. Important ones are:
\section \subsection
\subsubsection \chapter
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 $$ starts or ends maths display mode \ starts a LaTeX command
To type a special character, precede it with a \
e.g. \$ prints $ and \% prints %.
Changing Fonts:Changing Fonts:
LaTeX supports different fonts, e.g. bold face, italics, etc.
Bold: {\bf he}llo appears as hello.italics: {\it he}llo appears as hello .underline: {\underline he}llo appears
as hello.
Environments:Environments:
LaTeX supports different environments:
\begin{....}
\end{...}
Itemizing:Itemizing:
\begin{itemize} \item bread \item butter
\end{itemize} appears as
• bread• butter
Enumerating:Enumerating:
\begin{enumerate} \item bread \item butter
\end{enumerate} appears as
1. bread2. butter
Description Environment:Description Environment:
\begin{description} \item[bread] (multi grain) \item[butter] (unsalted)
\end{description} appears as
bread (multi grain) butter (unsalted)
Making Tables:Making Tables:\begin{tabular}{ l l c r }
bread & 1 loafs & 500 g & \$2.50 \\
chocolate & 2 bars & 100 g each & total \$ 2.40 \\ \end{tabular} appears as
bread 1 loaf 500 g $2.50 chocolate 2 bars 100 g each total $2.40
Borders:Borders:
If two columns are separated with a
vertical bar | there will be a vertical
line between these columns in the
table.
Typing Mathematics:Typing Mathematics:
Mathematics is typed in a special mode, the maths mode.
$ ..... $ or \{ .... \}
For example, the intersection $A \cap B $ of the sets A and B.
Displaying Mathematics:Displaying Mathematics:
The displayed maths mode is enclosed in
$$ .... $$ 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....
appears as:
x = y +z (11) By Equation (11) we can see that
More Cross Referencing
\begin{theorem}\label{MyTheorem}
A fabulous result.
\end{theorem}
By Theorem~\ref{MyTheorem}
Theorem 7.1
A fabulous result.
By Theorem 7.1
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.
