  10. Introduction What is L A T EX? What is L A T EX? L A T EX is a sophisticated document preparation system and desktop publishing utility. L A T EX has . . . Footnotes and endnotes Bibliography support Reference tracking Stylistic uniformity Crazy algorithms However . . . L A T EX is not a word processor! Benjamin Barenblat (SIPB/MIT) Introduction to L T EX January 12, 2011 10 / 50 A

  11. Introduction What is L A T EX? What is L A T EX not? L A T EXis a programming language, not a word processor. L A T EX will not . . . Spell-check your documents Give you complete control over the way your document looks Let you see your document while you are writing it Core L A T EX philosophy: You take care of writing; we’ll take care of presentation. Humans write text. Computers figure out how to display the text. Benjamin Barenblat (SIPB/MIT) Introduction to L T EX January 12, 2011 11 / 50 A

  12. Introduction Why should I use L A T EX? Why should I use L A T EX? Sometimes, presentation gets in the way of content. Example: underlining vs. italics Word processor way: set italics and/or underlining each time L A T EX way: tell L A T EX to emphasize ; set what that means later Example: journal article / thesis Word processor way: risk accidentally modifying provided template L A T EX way: write your text, let L A T EX worry about layout Benjamin Barenblat (SIPB/MIT) Introduction to L T EX January 12, 2011 12 / 50 A

  13. Introduction Why should I use L A T EX? Why should I not use L A T EX? Generally slower (exception: mathematics) Lack of complete control Benjamin Barenblat (SIPB/MIT) Introduction to L T EX January 12, 2011 13 / 50 A

Solution 1 Type x and hit enter 2 Fix the error 3 Re-run L A T EX Benjamin Barenblat (SIPB/MIT) Introduction to L T EX January 12, 2011 21 / 50 A

  22. Basic Language Features Sample document 1 “Synthesizing Congestion Control Using Replicated Archetypes” Generated by SCIgen, the automatic computer science paper generator pdos.csail.mit.edu/scigen/ Benjamin Barenblat (SIPB/MIT) Introduction to L T EX January 12, 2011 22 / 50 A

  23. Basic Language Features Commands Declarations and environments Declarations . . . Are stated once Take effect until further notice Can be constrained using curly braces Example: \ documentclass Environments . . . Have corresponding \ begin and \ end declarations Apply formatting to their contents Example: \ begin { document } / \ end { document } Benjamin Barenblat (SIPB/MIT) Introduction to L T EX January 12, 2011 23 / 50 A

  24. Basic Language Features \ documentclass The \ documentclass declaration \ documentclass tells L A T EX what basic document template to use. Other templates (“classes”): book report letter revtex4-1 thesis beamer Benjamin Barenblat (SIPB/MIT) Introduction to L T EX January 12, 2011 24 / 50 A

  25. Basic Language Features Structure Sectioning declarations \ part (book only) \ chapter (book and report only) \ section \ subsection \ subsubsection \ paragraph \ subparagraph \ subsubparagraph Example: \ chapter { A Mad Tea-Party } Benjamin Barenblat (SIPB/MIT) Introduction to L T EX January 12, 2011 25 / 50 A
