Introduction to Latex CE Dep, IAUSDJ.ac.ir (14 Dec, 2016)

 high typographical quality of the documents  LaTex is de facto standard and is installed at many universities  Can be run on most operating systems  Equations, citations, figures, tables, etc., can be labeled so that cross referencing is automated  LaTex is free!  LaTex is not WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get)

 First consider what type of paper you are writing so that you know whose packages to install.  Physics uses The Physical Review Packages  Math uses The AMS packages, which is also useful for writing just a general document or a Logic report.  Chemistry even uses some specialized packages, but much of its writing can be achieved through AMS. If you are interested in exploring chemistry packages further follow the link to get started. Click Here.Click Here.  Most can just be searched on Google, or found using the MikTex package manager.

 Keep all of the associated files in a single directory.  Latex was probably originally made for linux, so it is a little picky about path names.  Path names should have not special symbols or spaces. In fact the folder that you place the files in should be kept in the root directory on a windows machine.  Also if you use any specialized style files they should also be kept with the projects files. These are.sty files.

 Download and run the Basic MiKTeX installer from  IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings  blishing/templates.html blishing/templates.html  IEEE Article Templates and Instructions  blishing/templates.html blishing/templates.html

 TeX is essentially a Markup Language (like HTML, XML and RTF)  LaTex is an extension of TeX  Macro packages to make TeX easier to use Presentaion is based on Troy D. Milner and Simon Cuce slides

History Late 1970s -> 1989: TeX by Don Knuth  Decent typesetting by the authors!  Same output now as in the future  Low level, but powerful  Frozen development Starting early 1980s: LaTeX by Leslie Lamport  High level language (macros, really) for TeX  Easy to use!  Current version is Latex2e

LaTeX as in “latex” or…? Some say LAY-teck Some say LAH-teck Some say LAY-tech (as in “Bach”) Some say LAY-tex … According to Wikipedia: Knuth says /tex/ (as in Bach) Lamport says “whatever…”

 High typeset quality  Easy to include math formulas  Source file format is not bounded to a particular OS or platform  Latex implementations exists for all platforms (DOS, Windows, Unices,..)

 De facto standard for scientific publishing  Very few bugs  Good for large documents  Can run even on 386 PC  Not very easy to learn!

 \documentclass{article}  \title{Simple Example}  \author{Rouhollah Nabati}  \date{December 2016}  \begin{document}  \maketitle  Hello world, Salam!  \end{document}

 Document Class ▪ There are 4 main predefined classes: article, letter, report, book, and slides.  Packages used ▪ Added Functionality (graphics, reference style,...).  Main Body ▪ Text and Bibliography References.

 Document Class ▪ \documentclass[options]{class} ▪ options = a4paper, 11pt, 12pt, 10pt, twocolumn, landscape,... ▪ class = article, report, book,...  Packages ▪ \usepackage{package name} ▪ epsfig = insert PS pictures into the document ▪ fancyhdr = easy definition of footer and header

 Start with \begin{document}  End with \end{document}  Typesetting Text  \\ or \newline and \newpage  % comments  Bold \textbf{……………} or \bf  Italics \emph{…………} or \textit{………} or \it  Underline \underline{…………} or \ul

 Including Multiple Files  \input{filename.tex}

 The Physical Review package ads something new to the title. It ads the Abstract section.  \begin{abstract} Abstract text  \end{abstract}  After this section you can put the make title command.

 Sections  \section{…} = 1. Latex is Great  \subsection{…} = 1.1 Why Latex is Great  \subsubsection{…} = Reason One  \appendix - changes numbering scheme  \chapter{…} - To be used with book and report document classes  Titles, Authors and others  \title{…} \author{…}  \footnote{…}

 \maketitle - Display Title and Author  \tableofcontents - generates TOC  \listoftables - generates LOT  \listoffigures - generates LOF  Labels  \label{marker} - Marker in document.  \pageref{marker} - Displays page no. of marker.  \ref{marker} - Displays section location of marker.  Itemize  Use either enumerate, itemize or description.  see handout for example.

 Source  \begin{itemize}  \item Apple  \item Orange  \end{itemize}  Result  Apple  Orange

 Enumerate instead of itemize gives a numbered list  Lists can be recursive

 Something between  \begin{name}  \end{name}  Many command, for example \bf affect the text until the end of environment  Environments can be recursive  Examples:  itemize, center, abstract

 Group is some text between { and }  Many commands work until the end of the group  Code  put {one word \bf in bold} here  Result  put one word in bold here

 Environments center, flushleft, flushright  Example  \begin{flushright}  Right aligned  \end{flushright}  Result  Right aligned

 \documentclass{article}  \title{Simple Example}  \author{Rouhollah Nabati}  \date{December 2016}  \begin{document}  \maketitle  Hello world!  \end{document}

 Columns  \begin{tabular}{|…|…|}  \end{tabular}  Rows  & - Split text into columns  \\ - End a row  \hline - Draw line under row  e.g & 34.00\\ \hline Two Columns l = automatically adjust size, left justify r = automatically adjust size, right justify p = set size e.g p{4.7cm} c = centre text

 \begin{tabular}{|l|r|c|} \hline  Date & Price & Size \\ \hline  Yesterday & 5 & big \\ \hline  Today & 3 & small \\ \hline  \end{tabular}

 Floating objects can stop splitting of tables and images over pages.  \begin{figure}[options]  \end{figure}  \begin{table}[options]  \end{table}  They will now appear in the  List of Figures (LOF) and  List of Tables (LOT). Options (recommendations) h = place table here t = place at top of page b = place at bottom of page

     Latex math symbols  /symALL.html /symALL.html LaTex project page   Google is your friend… amsmath It contains the advanced math extensions for LaTeX. The complete documentation should be in your LaTeX distribution; the file is called amsdoc, and can be dvi or pdf. For more information, see the chapter about Mathetics.Mathetics amssymbIt adds new symbols in to be used in math mode. amsthm It introduces the proof environment and the \theoremstyle command. For more information see the Theoremssection.Theorems array It extends the possibility of LaTeX to handle tables, fixing some bugs and adding new features. Using it, you can create very complicated and customized tables. For more information, see the Tables section.Tables babel It provides the internationalization of LaTeX. It has to be loaded in any document, and you have to give as an option the main language you are going to use in the document. For more information see the Internationalization section.Internationalization biblatexAdvanced bibliography handling. It is the package to use for writing a thesis. bm Allows use of bold greek letters in math mode using the \bm{...} command. This supersedes the amsbsy package. booktabs provides ex­tra com­mands as well as be­hind-the-scenes op­ti­mi­sa­tion for producing tables. Guide­lines are given as to what con­sti­tutes a good ta­ble in the package documentation. captionAllows customization of appearance and placement of captions for figures, tables, etc. cancel Provides commands for striking out mathematical expressions. The syntax is \cancel{x} or \cancelto{0}{x} chemmacrosPart of a bundle to typeset chemistry easily and consistent. changepageTo easily change the margins of pages. The syntax is enumitemAdds support for arbitrarily-deep nested lists (useful for outlines). See List Structures.List Structures esintAdds additional integral symbols, for integrals over squares, clockwise integrals over sets, etc. eucalOther mathematical symbols. fancyhdr To change header and footer of any page of the document. It is described in the Page Layout section.Page Layout
