1 Outline L A TEX Primer Things you need to know as a starter Jialin He Department of Electrical Engineering Southern Methodist University 05/31/ Introduction How LATEX works? Document structure 2 TEXas... 3 IEEE template 4 Summary What is L A TEX A Sneak Peek A special version of TEX, a typesetting (document preparation,d d) program. Main features: Typesetting journal articles, slide presentations... Control over large documents containing sectioning, cross-references, tables and figures. Typesetting mathmetical formulas Automatic generation of bibliographies Distributions Linux: TEX package or TEX Live Mac: MacTeX Windows: MiKTeX -> protext LATEX code(.tex file): \documentclass[a4paper,12pt] \begin{document} PHD students have to learn LaTeX to finish their papers and thesis, no matter how \emph{reluctant} they are to do so. They manage to understand \begin{equation} I=\frac{1}{2}\log(1+SNR) \end{equation} but find it hard to start with \textbf{latex}. \end{document} What you get: PHD students have to learn LaTeX to finish their papers and thesis, no matter how reluctant they are to do so. They manage to understand but find it hard to start with LaTeX. I = 1 log(1 + SNR) (1) 2

2 Comparison with MS Word How LATEX works? A PDF Compiler MS Word All-in-one WYSIWYG editor Friendly user interface, easy to learn No programming/debug LATEX Powerful equation editing Convinient cross-reference and bibliography management Format uniformity, real template-based editor Everything under control Make you more professional Combing its components, LATEX converts.tex files to.pdf files. Demo: Preparation of paper writing 2 Use template directory created by Dr. Camp. Location: ~/project/wireless/paperwriting /writable_template Replicate the whole directory for your own paper. cp -r template <new_dir_location> change the template.tex file to <shortened_paper_title>.tex and then change the first two lines of the Makefile by substituting <shortened_paper_title> in for template in both place. 2 Tutorial for Creating a Publishing Paper with LaTeX/RCS Document structure Source file types Document structure Structure of.tex files Source file types that we need to feed into LATEX.tex Core of the document, contains most of the content.bib Bibliography database, contains all the reference, optional.cls Class file, provides format information, optional Structure Document Class Statement Package Use Declaration Title Information Document body Title Main body Reference \documentclass[option1, option2,... ]{classname} \usepackage{packagename1, PackageName2,... } \title{titlename} \author{authorname1, AuthorName2,... } \begin{document} \maketitle Text body here... \end{document} Demo: Create a.tex file with minimum components Always create a directory for your LATEX project! Get the Makefile for your LATEX project.

3 Some general rules \begin{element} and \end{element} AND brackets({}) must match; otherwise errors will occur. Sometimes they are hard to locate based on the error messages. Two consecutive returns are needed to seperate two paragraphs. A blank space should not occur in the input file after a left curly bracket({) or before a right curly bracket(} ). Basic format Italic: \emph{} or \textit{} Bold: \textbf{} SMALL CAP: \textsc{} Outline Two equation modes Sections and sub-sections are easy to define. \section{title of Section 1} \subsection{title of Sub-section 1.1} Text for Sub-section 1.1 \subsection{title of Sub-section 1.2} Text for Sub-section 1.2 \section{title of Section 2} \subsection{title of Sub-section 2.1} Text for Sub-section Inline Insert equation between $ $ Situation: Equation/expression in paragraph Explicit Use \begin{equation} and \end{equation} Situation: Equation needs to occupy the whole line and be further referenced. \subsubsection is also possible. Demo:

4 Equation essentials Super- and sub-scripts: Useˆand _. Greek letters: Special control sequences(ex. \alpha α) Standard functions: Special control sequences(ex. \sin{x} sin x); Fraction and root: \frac{x}{y} x y \sqrt[4]{x} 4 x Accent: \overline{x} x \hat{x} ˆx... Change font (normally for vectors): Use \mathbf{} for bold... Example Weak law of large numbers lim Pr( X n µ > ɛ) = 0 n \lim_{n\to\infty }\Pr(\ \overline{x}_n- \mu\ >\epsilon) = 0 Tables Multi-columns (merge) in tables Typical table code Multi-columns require multicols.sty style/package file. \begin{table}[h] \begin{tabular}{ c c c } \hline Nationality & EE & ME \\ \hline US citizen & 56 & 77 \\ International & 20 & 32 \\ \hline \end{tabular} \caption{number of students in EE and ME Dept.} \end{table} % Start of table area % Define columns and vertical lines % Draw a horizontal line % Draw a horizontal line % Draw a horizontal line % End of the table body \usepackage{multicols} Usage \multicolumn{# of combined columns}{format}{content} Result Nationality EE ME US citizen International Table: Number of students in EE and ME Dept. Demo: Equations and tables Build both inline and explicit equations and tables with multi-column.

5 Figures Cross-reference We can insert EPS figures by using the following codes. \begin{figure}[h] \centering Center the figure \epsfig{file=eps file path, width=0.95\linewidth} \caption{figure caption} \end{figure} Will be shown after introducing IEEE style template. Cross-reference is implemented by \label and \ref Same for sections, equations, tables and figures. Add \label{label_name}: under \section or \subsection or within equations, tables and figures area Add \ref{referred_label_name} in the text Demo: Cross-reference Bibliography Bib file Declare the.bib file and bibliography style. \bibliography{.bib file_name1,.bib file_name2,... } \bibliographystyle{style_name} Use \cite{cited_document_name} Sample.bib author = {E. Aryafar and N. Anand and T. Salonidis and E. W. Knightly}, title = {Design and Experimental evaluation of Multi-User Beamforming in Wireless {LANs}}, booktitle = {{ACM MobiCom}}, month = sep, year = {2010}, } Demo: Bibliography Call a bibliography file and cite one document from it.

6 Apply IEEE template Summary Download the class file (IEEEtran.cls, IEEEtran.bst) from IEEE website (already done if you use the template directory) Change the documentclass and the bibliography to IEEE style \documentclass[conference,10pt]{ieeetran} \bibliographystyle{ieeetran} We have discussed: What is LATEX How to use LATEX How to apply IEEE template Demo: IEEE template and figures Apply the IEEE template and insert a figure.
