2 LA T EX is a Document Preparation System which is useful for the preparation of all Abstract kinds of reports. It is particularly suited, but not limited to, scientic and mathematical papers and reports. In association with various of support packages it is possible to produce high quality output which can be electronically submitted to a number of Journals. In addition, the separation of form and content allows the same text to be formatted to dierent specications with only a few simple changes. The aim of this talk is to introduce the LA T EX Document Preparation System, to explain its capabilities, its limitations, how it works within the UNIX environment of the Faculty of Engineering, and to introduce some of the support programs which are used in conjunction with LA TE X. 2

3 L A TEX { What is L A TEX? { Capabilities, Limitations and Comparisons L A TEX Documents and L A TEX commands Support Programs { BibTEX, dvips, Graphics, Converters and other programmes Some L A TEX Classes and Packages Getting Started Further Information Overview 3

4 L A TEX is a document processing system in which you specify the content layout(style) separately and Many powerful features: Mathematics, Labels, Refs, Equation Numbers, Numbers, Table of Contents, List of Figures, List of Tables, Section Style Features: Multi-column, Paper Size, Headers, Footers, Page Reference Style, etc. Numbering, Available on many systems Limitations: Tables, not WYSIWYG, learning threshold, typesetting conventions LATEX Glossaries, Indexes, etc. 4

5 Documents communicate ideas (journal articles, class material, books, memos), in multiple formats reports, Need cross-platform means for converting formats as well as presentation L A TEX is a high quality, inexpensive, typesetting system. Can easily handle PostScript les Can easily handle bibliography databases. Conversion to HTML, PDF, DVI, and Postscript formats is simple L A TEX is Structured Why \Document Processing"? 5

6 articles (expository, research, informative) letters books bibliographies Hardcopy Electronic Forms (PostScript, dvi, pdf, html) Documents for communication Forms for dissemination 6

7 Why LATEX 2 " WYSIWYG wastes time better spent on content (forget about how it 4. until it contains what you want to discuss!) looks and not Word Processors? 1. good cross-platform compatibility. 2. Inexpensive or free. 3. Better quality typesetting. Why not LATEX isn't supported. 2. 2e is better packaged with a more natural programming ow. 7

8 A Comparison of LATEX and Word L A TEX Word WYSIWYG No Yes Figures Yes Yes Mathematics Yes (Yes) Style Changes Yes (Yes) Cross References Yes No Citations & References Yes No Multi-platform Yes No Free Yes No 8

9 TEX the basic system (a low level programming language for documents). LATEX a set of macros dening document styles (higher level language). or AMS-LATEX set of macros, which can be used instead of AMS-TEX A TEX. L all of these are somewhat interesting in their own right, we will focus While L A TEX 2 ". on What are all these TEX things? LATEX209 the old version of L A TEX. LATEX 2 " the current version of L A TEX. 9

10 Document contains Description of contents rather than detailed of contents, e.g., Format L A TEX uses style sheets or document classes Content and Format \section{introduction} rather than \Bold 14pt" 1. Introduction 10

11 \ is used to start command names while % is used to start a comment & $ # _ ^ { } and ~ are special characters Words are separated by one or more spaces. Paragraphs are separated by one or more blank lines. The output is not aected by adding extra spaces or extra blank lines to input le. the ` and ' create `Quotes' or \Double Quotes" -- and --- produce en dashes ({) and em dashes ( ) Bold and emphasised text are easy. Understanding LATEX Documents 11

12 General Form of a LATEX 2 " document % This is a comment \documentclass[options]{type} % Must be in document \usepackage{package name} % Multiple packages <Header: options and configuation>.. \begin{document} % Must be in document. <document content>. \end{document} % Must be in document 12

13 in the header are denitions of new commands, \usepackage commands Also suchlike. and Header Content The Header consists of items such as: \title{ Document Title } \author{ Document Author } \date{ Date for paper } %% this is optional and then, in the document content use \maketitle. 13

14 Tables of Contents, Lists of Figures, etc. Sectional Units Text Mathematics Lists Tables and Figures (graphics) Bibliographies Document Content Documents consist of 14

15 of Contents, Lists of Figures, Lists of Tables are produced by the Tables commands: following \tableofcontents \listoffigures \listoftables Tables of Contents etc. 15

16 \section{title} \subsection{title} \subsubsection{title} \paragraph{title} and reports also have \chapter{title} and can have dierent parts Books by \part{title}. dened \appendix command changes the numbering scheme for sections to The letters. Sectional Commands The sectional units in an article are produced by the following commands: 16

17 was originally designed to presentation mathematics well. L A TEX TEX uses the same commands with a few modications. The equation: basically Z 1 Many symbols and operators are available: ), 8,,, Q n Mathematics (s) = (t)e?st dt = Lf(t)g 0 is created using the commands \[ \Theta(s) = \int_0^\infty \theta(t)e^{-st}\,dt = \mathcal{l} \{\theta(t)\} \] i=1,,, a, 6, $,, m, H, etc. 17

18 enumerate: Numbered lists itemize: Bulletted lists List Environments For example, use the list environment: \begin{enumerate} \item This is a two item list \item This is the second item \end{enumerate} to produce: 1. This is a single item list 2. This is the second item 18

19 Tables and Figures The Table 9.00 { { { Monday Applicable Mathematics I Basic Engineering I Engineering Design I Tuesday Applicable Mathematics I Basic Engineering I Engineering Practice I Table 1: First Year Timetable is produced by: \begin{table} \begin{tabular}{ l c c c } \hline & & & \\ \hline Monday & Applicable Mathematics I & Basic Engineering I & Engineering Design I \\ \hline Tuesday & Applicable Mathematics I & Basic Engineering I & Engineering Practive I \\ \hline \end{tabular} \caption{first Year Timetable} \end{table} 19

20 using L A TEX 2 " it is better to use \usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}, When than the old L A TEX method of including graphics. Then use: rather Including Postscript Files \begin{figure}[htbp] \begin{center} \includegraphics[height=3in,width=4in,angle=270] {figure.ps} \caption{this is the Caption} \label{fig:label} \end{center} \end{figure} It is easy to include gures! 20

21 use list or itemize environments. use thebibliography environment use BibTEX: Use the \cite command in the text to cite the required and let BibTEX create the bibliography at the end of the references Bibliographies and BibTEX document 21

22 BibTEX References database and citation (X)Emacs Context sentitive editor xdvi Show output on screen dvips Convert output suitable for printing on a PostScript printer. ghostview Show PostScript on screen xg Useful for diagrams Support Programs latex2html Convert L A TEX source to HTML rtf2latex Convert RTF to L A TEX Others Many programs exist which can be used in conjunction with L A TEX. 22

23 you probably use the same reference in numerous papers, so why bother Idea: them in multiple times? typing to construct a bibliography le (use a.bib sux). This will be the Need for all your references! database (X)Emacs will do much of the formatting for you (you simply ll in However, blanks for the bibliography le). the BibTEX \cite{gawbal97}.. \bibliography{/home/mech/group/references/common} \bibliographystyle{ifac} 23

24 A TEX les can be edited using any text editor. Under Unix, one approach is L use Emacs in combination with Auc-TeX; this allows for the whole to of your document to occur without needing to leave your editor, development perhaps to construct gures using XFig or other programs. except Editing Documents: Emacs 24

25 printer should be replaced with the name of the printer on which you where to print. If it dierent from you PRINTER environment variable. If you wish Printing To print a standard le: dvips filename.dvi -Pprinter are doing 2-up, then you need to specify the orientation: dvips filename.dvi -Pprinter -t landscape 25
