Getting to Grips with LaTeX - LaTeX Tutorials by Andrew Roberts @ School of Computing, University of Leeds Here are some tutorials I have written for getting up to speed with this excellent document processing system. Funnily enough I wouldn't consider myself an expert, per se, but I'm learning all the time. I recall finding it quite taxing when I started to learn LaTeX, which is why I have started these tutorials. However, I hope that my experience plays to your advantage because I cover sort of questions and problems I had when I first learning LaTeX which are probably typical for most beginners. Benefits LaTeX pre-dates modern graphical word processors, if not modern graphical operating systems! For a more detailed account, see my article regarding the numerous advantages. Tutorials
LaTeX - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks This is a guide to the LaTeX markup language. It is intended to form a useful resource for everybody from new users who wish to learn, to old hands who need a quick reference. TeX and LaTeX TeX is a computer program for typesetting documents, created by Donald Knuth. The book is organized in different parts. Getting Started will provide you with the very first steps to print your first document: general concepts (very important!) Contents[edit] If you have questions related to LaTeX, ask at the Q&A.

LaTeX:Layout From AoPSWiki This article outlines some of the basics of layout in LaTeX. Note: Rather than typing up all the examples, you can copy-paste the examples into your TeXnicCenter files. We highly recommend opening up your TeXnicCenter and trying out each of the examples as you go. It takes almost no time at all to just copy-paste, compile, and view the results. Source File Format The source file of a LaTeX broadly consists of two parts, the preamble and the document itself. Our next three sections deal primarily with preamble items, while the rest cover tools you might use within your document. The Preamble Document Class The first line of the file sets the document class with the \documentclass[''options'']{''class''} command. article . book report , and letter .) \documentclass , but generally they can be left to their defaults. Packages Packages are included after the \documentclass statement using \usepackage[''options''][''packagename''] . Page Setup The Easy Way \usepackage[margin=2.5cm]{geometry} . The

For what it's worth, I work on a Linux system using TeX Live , which is also available for Windows, but many students may work with these examples on Windows systems using MikTeX or some other flavour, , and some work on Macs . That's why I have three versions of the source files. A note about these LATEX file examples I use pdflatex to produce the output for all of my work, so that is how these examples are set up. pdflatex simple from the directory in which the files are placed. If you get errors indicating pdflatex cannot be found, try typing PATH=%PATH%;"C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin" or PATH=%PATH%"C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin;" at the command prompt after installing MiKTeX. Here's an ogg video showing how a document is taken from a text file to a pdf file. Topics covered Simple LATEX file examples LATEX list example
Nature Publishing Group : science journals, jobs, and information Getting to Grips with Latex - Tables - Latex Tutorials by Andrew Roberts @ School of Computing, University of Leeds by Andrew Roberts In academic writing, tables are a common feature, often for summarising results from research. It is therefore a skill that needs mastering in order to produce good quality papers. However, if there is one area about Latex that I feel is the least intuitive, then I am afraid that this is it. Basic tables are not too taxing, but you will quickly notice that anything more advanced can take a fair bit of construction. So, we will start slowly and build up from there. The Tabular environment To begin, we shall first get familiar with some Latex terminology. \begin{environment-name} ... ... The tabular is another such environment, designed for formatting your data into nicely arranged tables. Once in the environment, Note, any white space inserted between these commands is purely down to ones' preferences. There also exists a handy array package which extends some of the features of the tabular environment. Very basic table Expanding upon that by including some vertical lines:
