The following are known to us: LaTeX is free software and is distributed under the LaTeX Project Public License. LaTeX is heavily utilized by the academic and scientific community. LaTeX produces beautiful type and is written in a language that is fairly intuitive. This article will discuss a brief history, introductory usage examples, front-ends, and further readings. LaTeX is the de-facto standard for the communication and publication of scientific documents. LaTeX is available as free software. LaTeX was first released in 1985 by Leslie Lamport as an extension of TeX. Tex was developed by Donald E. Knuth. It was first released in 1978. LaTeX is used, as mentioned, earlier in academic environments for book publication and article publication. Not to go off-topic, but LaTeX is also used to create the formulas displayed on wikimedia applications such as Wikipedia. In addition to its ability to display formulas and beautifully created pages, LaTeX can do much more but that goes beyond the scope of this article. Look at LaTeX's homepage for further documentation on LaTeX. However if you run into any issues, go back and install the texlive-full package. On Fedora: On ArchLinux you will have to grab this package from the AUR.

This will simplify some of the things I would like to go over. However, you can create.tex files in any text editors, programmers editors such as vim, geany, etc. But lets cover the basics of the language first. For example backlashes usually indicate the beginning of a control sequence such as a formula or a specific symbol such as \alpha. Dollar signs indicate switching between normal text and text representing mathematical formals. Brackets are used to group characters together. Carat and underscore represent your standard super and sub scripts. The basics of the document structure depend on the sort of document you wish to create. For basic articles the \documentclass, \begin, and \end sequences should suffice. Writing some of this may seem repetitive but no worries, many front ends to LaTeX come preinstalled with many templates for different sorts of documents (I'll cover this later). So lets get down to some actual examples. To create the formula for time value of money, I would write the following in my text editor of choice. As shown below: However, you could have used vim or any other text editor (ensure you save your document as a.tex). In TeXworks, I would now press the green play button. In Bash, I would issue the following: TeXworks goes one step further by displaying a pdf. I could also get this functionality in Bash by doing something like: But the Gordon Model makes constant growth valuation a breeze. The Gordon Model for constant valuation is:I also used the \sum sequence to display summation. Now I'll cover some front ends to LaTeX I'll show you several and provide their respective URLS. I'll also briefly cover one additional tool that utilizes LaTeX's features. For this article, I used TeXworks: From its website: The TeXworks project is an effort to build a simple TeX front-end program (working environment) that will be available for all today's major desktop operating systems Its homepage is located here. Another front-end which acts as a WYSIWYM (What You See is What You Make) is LyX. LyX is fairly beefy project that is cross platform and open source. It has a features page. Which in addition to outlining its features, contains a screen cast outlining all the features that it provides (most of those features are merely an interface to LaTeX's more powerful features that may be new to the unfamiliar user). Check out this information at LyX's homepage here. Below is a screen shot of LyX. It has many of the features of LyX and TeXworks. Kile (shown below) is a QT interface to LaTeX's features. All three (LyX, TeXworks, and Kile are Open Source, Cross Platform, and come with a galore of templates.It isn't a front end to LaTeX, however it allows for the usage of LaTeX as a plugin. Run the following linux command s to install Zim: Now whenever you are jotting down notes you can also capture those complex equations that you could never type up before. Screen shot of Zim below: From here, I would recommend checking out the documentation from LaTeX's homepage. They offer links to many tutorials, how-to's, and document in several formats about LaTeX. Its a fairly extensive and powerful program. Once, you start learning the basics and have a need, you will realize the documentation exists you will find that learning new features are fairly easy. Documentation links from their page that discuss many more advanced topics such as displaying limits, functions, Greek letters, integrals, various misc.Quite frankly, I would have to write a book to cover all the functionality that is found in LaTeX.

Browse other questions tagged bibtex bibliographies or ask your own question. Not only in PDF format, but also as HTML or within a MediaWiki. Is this possible? And how? Some information is given in this question. It doesn't feature man as an output format, however (I'm not sure if your question is about the man format itself or about documentation formats in general.) It's a pretty nice format file to look at, I think: you don't have dozens of different packages, half of which have to patch over things that other packages didn't do quite right, like you do in LaTeX:-). Once you have documentation written using Sphinx, you can easily produce html, LaTeX, and PDF. Python documentation is written using Sphinx, and I know about Sphinx from working on Sage, but the Sphinx web page provides links to many projects which use it for their documentation. It is possible to use LaTeX math commands within Sphinx, essentially verbatim; the resulting PDF is produced from LaTeX, and so it looks good, as you can imagine. The resulting html looks best if you use it in combination with jsMath, and I expect Sphinx to support MathJax eventually. Or you can use extended markdown too, and convert it to almost anything. XMLMind has a free personal edition that works pretty well. As much as I like latex, any complex document is going to be too much for something like Tex4ht to handle well (or at least this has been my experience). Please be sure to answer the question.

If you have used HTML, or edited a wiki then you will be familiar with the idea of using symbols or commands within a text file to describe the layout of text. LaTeX is commonly used in scientific publishing. It helps you to make well formatted papers, with good looking formulae. It also helps keep track of figure and equation numbers. LaTeX files can be converted into a huge number of formats such as PDF, PostScript, DVI, and HTML. A LaTeX file is a plain text file (ASCII or Unicode) containing the text to be printed and markup commands to specify its appearence. It can be written in a text editor such as Gedit or vim. It is converted into an output format using a LaTeX compiler. Some people like to write LaTeX files in a more integrated environment, with menus and buttons for formatting commands. There are also many add on packages that add features to LaTeX. Rather than find and install them all you use a LaTeX distribution. LaTeX distributions in the Ubuntu repositories are: TeX Live teTeX (teTeX is no longer supported and is mentioned here for legacy purposes; some of the teTeX packages in Ubuntu are transitional packages to TeX Live). This is a general TeX distribution that is actively maintained by the TeX Users Group. To install TeX Live, simply install texlive using the Ubuntu Software Centre (or aptitude, apt-get, or synaptic). This will install a basic subset of TeX Live's functionality. To install the complete TeX Live distribution, install texlive-full. This method is well documented and not technically challenging, but you will need some elementary familiarity with the Linux command-line (terminal mode). Installing TeX Live directly does not interfere with Ubuntu, and ensures that you have the latest releases of all TeX and LaTeX packages. The downside is that you periodically have to update your installation manually, using the TeX Live Package Manager. This program has a GUI and is easy to use. Choose one or the other. If you opt for TUG TeX Live, you might still find it necessary to install some additional packages from the repository, to satisfy some mutual program dependencies, but there is no problem in doing this. See the Debian documentation for details. If you just want TeX and LaTeX, and aren't fussy about living at the cutting edge of TeX development, then use the Ubuntu repository. But if you are using a part of the LaTeX family of packages that is in current development, then use the TeX Live distribution directly from TUG. Then there are incremental updates throughout the year. As of October 2013, the texlive package that ships with Ubuntu (TeX Live 2013) is more or less up to date, thanks to the efforts of its maintainer. But in past years, the Ubuntu repository versions of TeXLive have sometimes lagged behind the current TeX Live annual release by one or even two years. This made the installation of TeX Live directly from TUG more attractive for people who wanted to have up-to-date versions of rapidly-evolving packages. Installing from the Ubuntu repositories is definitely easier. Point and click. Installing directly from TUG's TeX Live distribution is a bit more fiddly, but gives you more fine control over installation details, and gives you the ability to keep the TeX Live files up to date, and the responsibility for doing so. There's a final wrinkle. The Ubuntu repo version of the texlive package will be frozen for most of the year. But starting from 2013, to mitigate this drawback, texlive it will also include the tlmgr updating program, preset to run in user mode (see the tlmgr's man page or this blog entry for usage). So you can install the repo, and then use tlmgr yourself as desired, to selectively update parts of the distribution.It is in the Main and Universe Ubuntu repositories and can be installed with synaptic or apt-get. At a minimum you will need to install the packages tetex-base, and tetex-bin. Extra packages for teTeX can be found in tetex-extra. As of May 2006 teTeX was no longer actively maintained and its former maintainer Thomas Esser recommended TeX Live as the replacement. Packages can either be installed using Ubuntu's packaging system, or by manually copying the files to the respective locations and updating TeX's file index using mktexlsr. It is preferable to use Ubuntu's packaging system, or the TeX Live Package Manager that both provide menu-driven interfaces for selecting and de-selecting packages. However, if you want to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty, this is what you do. If they do, download the archive containing the files. This can be done in two ways.The advantages of this solution are that if we migrate our files to a new computer, we will remember to take our texmf tree with us, resulting in keeping the same packages we had. The disadvantages are that if multiple users want to use the same packages, the tree will have to be copied to each user's home folder. It is a good idea to name directories after the packages they contain. The -p attribute to mkdir tells it to create all the necessary directories, since they don't exist. Now, using either the terminal, or the file manager, copy foo.sty into the directory labeled foo.The advantages are that every user on the computer can access these files. First, go to the folder your foo is located.In xdvi, the default is Ctrl-Left click. In kdvi, Middle click is the default. For information see. Download and install the LaTeX package srcltx. There is help on installing a LaTeX package manually. Once srcltx is installed, you need to include it in your LaTeX file.Ensure that the path you have added is correct. To change a command, just click on the button at the end of the corresponding line and select the command in the file browser: texmaker will adapt automatically the syntax of the command.During typing, if there is an error, the word is underlined by a red underline. A right-click on the word opens a contextual menu in which there are some replacement suggestions. Click on the desired word to make the replacement.Block selection is available by using the Alt key while moving the mouse cursor. All you need to do is to click on any item (label, section.) and you will be taken to the beginning of the corresponding area in the editor. When you have already defined three bookmarks, you must remove one of them to add a new bookmark. To jump to the line corresponding to a bookmark in the editor, just click on the buttons in the status bar. Note: this dialog allows you to type directly the code in the cells. The corresponding LaTeX code is automatically inserted in the editor. The cells can be directly completed. Remark: a summary of the latex errors and warnings is displayed before the full log file. With a click on his name, Texmaker will open it. Examples (on linux system). The easiest way to generate this final output is to use Overleaf. Otherwise, if you need to learn how to compile documents in your computer, this article describes how to generate PS, DVI and PDF output from a L a T e X file. There are many T e X distributions available for different operating systems: For example the well known editors emacs and vim have both a Template:LaTeX extension, as do Atom, VS Code and Sublime Text.It is also themeable, so you can choose the same syntax highlighting of some of the aforementioned editors. You can find these settings by clicking on the Overleaf menu icon, above the file list panel in your Overleaf project.To generate a specific output the document has to be compiled by running a command in a terminal (Linux and macOS) or the command prompt (windows).See the reference guide for a schematic description of commands and output formats.PostScript is, until now, a standard in desktop publishing areas. If you are required to produce a DVI file from your Overleaf project, here's what you can do:You can usually go with pdfLaTeX, but choosing a compiler depends on each project's needs.If all the images in your project are.eps files, then this compiler setting is recommended. They are therefore recommended if you need to typeset non-Latin scripts on Overleaf, in conjunction with the polyglossia pacakge. They also support all of the.png,.jpg,.pdf and.eps image formats. It is necessary to include the correct numbers in the table of contents, list of images, reference numbers to theorems and so on.You can change -pdf to -dvi to set a different file type.
