1 L A TEX Workshop An Introduction to L A TEX Rakesh Jana j.rakesh@iitg.ernet.in Date: 2018/08/24 Research Scholar Department of Mathematics IIT Guwhati

2 Overview 1. What is L A TEX? 2. First L A TEX document 3. Text & Paragraph Format Rakesh Jana, IITG LATEXWorkshop 2018/08/24 1 / 18

3 What is L A TEX?

4 Why Should I use L A TEX? Takes worry out of typesetting a document and allows you to just worry about content. Gives a good Focus on the contents. Professionally crafted layouts are available. Typesetting mathematical formulae is supported in a convenient way. Complex structure such as footnotes, references, table of contents and bibliographies can be generated easily. Add-on packages exist for many tasks not supported by basic L A TEX. L A TEX is highly portable and free. It can run on almost any hardware platform.

10 Example Let s start with the simplest working example: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} This is my First document. This is a simple example, with no extra parameters or packages included. \end{document} Rakesh Jana, IITG LATEXWorkshop 2018/08/24 5 / 18

11 Example Let s start with the simplest working example: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} This is my First document. This is a simple example, with no extra parameters or packages included. \end{document} Your L A TEX code must consist with \documentclass[ ]{ } \begin{document} \end{document} See 1-start.tex Rakesh Jana, IITG LATEXWorkshop 2018/08/24 5 / 18
