LaTeX for the masses
Comparison: LaTeX and word processors
For ALL platforms: Unix, Windows and Mac !!!
Where to learn LaTeX and friends, and where to find help
- All about TeX/LaTeX
- LaTeX instructions:
here, here, or here. If absolutely nothing helps, here.
- LaTeX examples:
- latex file (pay attention to additional
packages inserted as \usepackage{...}, these packages are part of the
standard installation), and the corresponding pdf
file. Download the latex file and try to typeset it on your
computer.
- A very simple latex file and the
corresponding pdf file
- Graphics in LaTeX: Possible on Windows, Mac, and Unix, impossible with the LaTeX window. Better use "pdflatex". You need to have your graphics file as a pdf file, say "filename.pdf", in the place where your .tex file resides. Put "\usepackage{graphicx}" before "\begin{document}". In the place you want your graphics put "\includegraphics[width=Ncm]{filename}" (N=some number) and enjoy. Download testgraphics.tex and testfile.pdf and try.
Happy TeXing !
