-</div>Introduction
- <p id="x_c8"></a>LaTeX is a typesetting program used to produce excellently typeset documents. It is extensively used for producing high quality scientific and mathematical documents. It may also be used for producing other kinds of documents, ranging from simple one page articles or letters</p>
-<div class="section" title="1. TeX & LaTeX">
-<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both">
-<a name="tex-latex"></a>1. TeX & LaTeX</h2></div></div></div>
-<div class="section" title="1.1. TeX">
-<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
-<a name="tex"></a>1.1. TeX</h3></div></div></div>
-<p id="x_c9"></a>TeX is a typesetting system designed by Donald Knuth, the renowned Computer Scientist and Emeritus professor at Stanford University. Typesetting is placing text onto a page with all the style formatting defined, so that content looks as intended.</p>
-<p id="x_ca"></a>It was designed with two goals in mind-</p>
-<div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1">
-<li class="listitem"><p id="x_cb"></a>To allow anybody to produce high-quality books using a reasonable amount of effort.</p></li>
-<li class="listitem"><p id="x_cc"></a>To provide a system that would give the exact same results on all computers, now and in the future</p></li>
-</ol></div>
-<p id="x_cd"></a>TeX is well known for it's stability and portability.</p>
-<p id="x_ce"></a>TeX is pronounced as "tech".</p>
-<p id="x_cf"></a>The current version of TeX is 3.1415926 and is converging to π.</p>

-<div class="section" title="1.2. LaTeX">
-<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
-<a name="latex"></a>1.2. LaTeX</h3></div></div></div>
-<p id="x_d0"></a>LaTeX was originally written by Leslie Lamport in the early 1980s. It is an extension of TeX, consisting of TeX macros and a program to parse the LaTeX files. It is easier to use than TeX itself, at the same time producing the same quality of output.</p>
-<p id="x_d1"></a>LaTeX is pronounced either as "Lah-tech" or "Lay-tech"</p>
-</div>
-</div>
-<div class="section" title="2. WYSIWG vs. WYSIWM">
-<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both">
-<a name="wysiwg-vs-wysiwm"></a>2. WYSIWG vs. WYSIWM</h2></div></div></div>
-<p id="x_d2"></a>WYSIWG is an acronym for "What You See Is What You Get". Word processors, are typically WYSIWG tools. LaTeX, TeX or other TeX based tools are not. They are typesetting or text formatting or document description programs. They can be called WYSIWM or "What You See Is What you Mean" systems, since you give a description of how things look, and LaTeX typesets the document for you.</p>
-<p id="x_d3"></a>Here are a few reasons, why you should use LaTeX -</p>
-<div class="blockquote"><blockquote class="blockquote"><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="*">
-<li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: *"><p id="x_d4"></a>LaTeX produces documents with excellent visual quality, especially mathematical and scientific documents.</p></li>
-<li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: *"><p id="x_d5"></a>It does the typesetting to you. Typically, when one works with a word-processor, the user is doing the text formatting or typesetting along with typing out the content. LaTeX allows the user to concentrate on the content leaving aside the typesetting to LaTeX.</p></li>
-<li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: *"><p id="x_d6"></a>It is light on your resources as compared to most of the word processors available today.</p></li>
-<li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: *"><p id="x_d7"></a>It is well known for it's stability and for it's virtually bug free code base.</p></li>
-<li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: *"><p id="x_d8"></a>It encourages users to structure documents by meaning rather than appearance, thereby helping produce well structured documents.</p></li>
-<li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: *"><p id="x_d9"></a>It uses plain text files as input, which have a lot of well known advantages over binary files. To state a few, they can be opened with any editor on any operating system, they are smaller in size compared to the binaries, can be version controlled and can be processed using widely used text processing utilities.</p></li>
-<li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: *"><p id="x_da"></a>The output can be generated in more than one formats.</p></li>
-<li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: *"><p id="x_db"></a>It is free software (free as in freedom) and gratis too.</p></li>
-<li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: *"><p id="x_dc"></a>It is widely used.</p></li>

- Hello, World!
-\end{document}
-
-</pre>
-<p id="x_de"></a>Save the file as
- <code class="literal">hello.tex</code> and open up a terminal to compile your
- <code class="literal">tex</code> file to get the output in a

- </p>
-<div class="mediaobject"><img src="examples/hello.jpg"></div>
-<p id="x_e0"></a>Note: The command
- <code class="literal">latex</code> is often used to get the

-<p id="x_eb"></a>During the course of this session we will learn how to do various things in LaTeX and try to produce the sample document provided.</p>
-</div>
-<div class="section" title="5. Some Basics">
-<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both">
-<a name="some-basics"></a>5. Some Basics</h2></div></div></div>
-<p id="x_ec"></a>Before we get started with creating the document, let's try to understand a few things that would be useful during the course of this session.</p>
-<div class="section" title="5.1. Spaces">
-<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
-<a name="spaces"></a>5.1. Spaces</h3></div></div></div>
-<p id="x_ed"></a>LaTeX treats multiple empty spaces (or lines) as a single space (or line). An empty line between two lines of text is considered as a change of paragraphs.</p>
-</div>
-<div class="section" title="5.2. Line & Page Breaks">
-<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
-<a name="line-page-breaks"></a>5.2. Line & Page Breaks</h3></div></div></div>
-<p id="x_ee"></a>LaTeX usually does the job of breaking up your content into lines and pages, and does it well. But under some circumstances, you might want to instruct LaTeX to break line or start a new page at a particular point.</p>
-<p id="x_ef"></a>
- <code class="literal">\\</code> or
- <code class="literal">\newline</code> command is used to create a new line at the point where the command is issued. Appending
- <code class="literal">*</code> to
- <code class="literal">\\</code>, instructs LaTeX to create a new line, without creating a new page at that point.
- </p>
-</div>
-<div class="section" title="5.3. Paragraphs">
-<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
-<a name="paragraphs"></a>5.3. Paragraphs</h3></div></div></div>
-<p id="x_f0"></a>As already mentioned, LaTeX considers an empty line between two lines of text as a new paragraph.
- <code class="literal">\par</code> command may also be used to start a newline. It is equivalent to the blank line.
- </p>
-<p id="x_f1"></a>By default LaTeX indents new paragraphs. If you do not wish to have the paragraph indented, you can use the
- <code class="literal">\nointend</code> command at the beginning of the paragraph.
- </p>
-</div>
-<div class="section" title="5.4. Special Characters">
-<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
-<a name="special-characters"></a>5.4. Special Characters</h3></div></div></div>
-<p id="x_f2"></a>LaTeX associates special meaning to the characters
- <code class="literal">~ # $ % ^ & _ { } \</code>.
- </p>
-<p id="x_f3"></a>To have these characters in the text of your document, you need to prefix a backslash to them.
- <code class="literal">\~ \# \% \$ \^ \& \_ \{ \} \textbackslash</code>
- </p>
-</div>
-<div class="section" title="5.5. Commands">
-<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
-<a name="commands"></a>5.5. Commands</h3></div></div></div>
-<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="*">
-<li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: *"><p id="x_f4"></a>All LaTeX commands start with a backslash
- <code class="literal">\</code>.
- </p></li>
-<li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: *"><p id="x_f5"></a>Like the commands in Linux, they are case sensitive.</p></li>

-<p id="x_fd"></a>As already stated, the

- </p>
-<p id="x_fe"></a>Note that the top matter of the document appears in a different page for the report class.</p>
-<p id="x_ff"></a>Some of the LaTeX classes that you may want to use are, article, proc, report, book, slides, letter.</p>
-<p id="x_100"></a>The
- <code class="literal">documentclass</code> command also accepts a few optional parameters. For example:
- </p>
-<p id="x_101"></a>\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside,draft]{report}</p>
-<p id="x_102"></a>
- <code class="literal">12pt</code> specifies the size of the main font in the document. The relative sizes of the various fonts is maintained, when the font size is changed. If no size is specified,
- <code class="literal">10pt</code> is assumed by default.
- </p>
-<p id="x_103"></a>
- <code class="literal">a4paper</code> specifies the size of the paper to be used for the document.
- </p>
-<p id="x_104"></a>
- <code class="literal">oneside</code> specifies that the document will be printed only on one side of the paper. The
- <code class="literal">article</code> and

-<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
-<a name="parts-chapters-and-sections"></a>6.2. Parts, Chapters and Sections</h3></div></div></div>
-<p id="x_107"></a>Often documents are divided into various parts, chapters, sections and subsections. LaTeX provides an intuitive mechanism to include this in your documents. It has various commands like
- <code class="literal">part</code>,
- <code class="literal">chapter</code>,
- <code class="literal">section</code>,
- <code class="literal">subsection</code>,
- <code class="literal">subsubsection</code>,
- <code class="literal">paragraph</code> and
- <code class="literal">subparagraph</code>. Note that all these commands are not available in all the document classes. The
- <code class="literal">chapter</code> command is available only in books and reports. Also, the
- <code class="literal">letter</code> document class does not have any of these commands.
- </p>
-<p id="x_108"></a>Let us now give our document some structure, using these commands.</p>
-<p id="x_109"></a>Note that you do not need to provide any numbers to the commands. LaTeX automatically takes care of the numbering. Also, you do not need to enclose the text of a block within
- <code class="literal">\begin</code> and
- <code class="literal">\end</code> commands. LaTeX starts a new block each time it finds a sectioning command. :
- </p>
-<pre class="programlisting">\section[Short Title]{This is a very long title and the Short Title will appear in the Table of Contents.}
-
-
-</pre>
-<div class="section" title="6.2.1. Section Numbering">
-<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title">
-<a name="section-numbering"></a>6.2.1. Section Numbering</h4></div></div></div>
-<p id="x_10a"></a>As already, you don't need to explicitly do any numbering in LaTeX. Parts are numbered using roman numerals; Chapters and sections are numbered using decimal numbers. When the table of contents is inserted into a document, all the numbered headings automatically appear in it.</p>
-<p id="x_10b"></a>By default LaTeX has numbering up 2 levels, i.e, the parts, chapters, sections and subsections are numbered. You can change this by setting the
- <code class="literal">secnumdepth</code> counter using the
- <code class="literal">\setcounter</code> command. The following command removes numbering of the subsections. Only parts, chapters and sections are numbered. :
- </p>
-<pre class="programlisting">\setcounter{secnumdepth}{1}
-
-</pre>
-<p id="x_10c"></a>A sectioning command appended with an asterisk gives an unnumbered heading that is not included in the table of contents. :</p>
-<pre class="programlisting">\section*{Introduction}

-<div class="section" title="6.3. Top Matter">
-<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
-<a name="top-matter"></a>6.3. Top Matter</h3></div></div></div>
-<p id="x_10d"></a>The information about the document such as it's title, the date, the author(s) information etc, is collectively known as the topmatter. Though there is no command called
- <code class="literal">topmatter</code>, the term topmatter is frequently used in LaTeX documentation.
- </p>
-<p id="x_10e"></a>Let us input the top matter for our document now. :</p>
-<pre class="programlisting">\title{LaTeX - A How-to}
-\author{The FOSSEE Team}
-\date
-
-</pre>
-<p id="x_10f"></a>The commands
- <code class="literal">\title</code> and
- <code class="literal">\author</code> are self explanatory. The
- <code class="literal">\date</code> command automatically puts in today's date into the document. Now let us compile and look at the result.
- </p>
-<p id="x_110"></a>You would observe that the details do not appear in the document after recompilation. This is because, LaTeX has not been instructed what to do with the top matter information that you have given it. Use the
- <code class="literal">\maketitle</code> command within the document environment to instruct LaTeX to place the top matter information into the document.

-<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">

-<p id="x_111"></a>Lets now place and abstract in the document using the
- <code class="literal">abstract</code> environment of LaTeX. The abstract appears in the document after the topmatter but before the main body of the document. :

- <code class="literal">\tableofcontents</code> command places a the ToC, where the command has been issued.
- </p>
-<p id="x_114"></a>The counter
- <code class="literal">tocdepth</code> specifies the depth up to which headings appear in the ToC. It can be set using the
- <code class="literal">\setcounter</code> command as shown below. :
- </p>
-<pre class="programlisting">\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}
-
-</pre>
-<p id="x_115"></a>Unnumbered sections can be placed in the table of contents using the

-

-<p id="x_116"></a>Note: To get the correct entries in your table of contents, you will need to run one extra compilation, each time. This is because, the entries of the table of contents are collected during each compilation of the document and utilized during the next compilation.</p>

- Beautiful is better than ugly.
- Explicit is better than implicit.
- Simple is better than complex.
- Complex is better than complicated.
- Flat is better than nested.
- Sparse is better than dense.
- Readability counts.
- Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
- Although practicality beats purity.
- Errors should never pass silently.
- Unless explicitly silenced.
- In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
- There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
- Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
- Now is better than never.
- Although never is often better than *right* now.
- If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.

-<p id="x_141"></a>When there is not enough space on a page, to fit in a table or figure, it is floated over to the next page filling up the current page with text. LaTeX has float environments called table and figure for tables and images, respectively.</p>

LaTeX automatically numbers your tables and figures and you need not include numbers in the captions that you write. The caption appears below or on top of the image (or table), depending on whether you place it after or before the
- <code class="literal">importgraphics</code> (or
- <code class="literal">tabular</code>) command.

-<p id="x_15b"></a>Bibliography or references can be added to LaTeX documents in two ways - using the

-<p id="x_15c"></a>Writing bibliographies in LaTeX using the
- <code class="literal">thebibliography</code> environment is pretty easy. You simply have to list down all the bibliography items within the bibliography environment.
- </p>
-<p id="x_15d"></a>Each entry of the bibliography begins with the command
- <code class="literal">\bibitem[label]{name}</code>. The name is used to cite the bibliography item within the document using
- <code class="literal">\cite{name}</code>. The label option replaces the numbers from the auto enumeration with the labels given. :

-<p id="x_15f"></a>The previous section explained the process of listing references at the end of a document and embedding cross references. In this section let us explore the BibTeX environment for keeping track of references.</p>
-<p id="x_160"></a>Using BibTeX is a very convenient method to use, when writing multiple documents in a single area or field. BibTeX allows you to create a database of all your references and use them as and when required.</p>
-<p id="x_161"></a>The BibTeX database is stored in a
- <code class="literal">.bib</code> file. The structure of the file is quite simple and an example is shown below. :
- </p>
-<pre class="programlisting">@book{Lamport94,
-author = "Leslie Lamport",
-title = "A Document Preparation System: User's Guide and Reference",
-publisher = "Addison-Wesley Professional",
-year = "1994",
-edition = "second",
-note = "illustrations by Duane Bibby"
-}
-
-</pre>
-<p id="x_162"></a>Each bibliography entry starts with a declaration of the type of the reference being mentioned. The reference is in the above example is of the book type. BibTeX has a wide range of reference types, for example,
- <code class="literal">article, book, conference, manual, proceedings, unpublished</code>.
- </p>
-<p id="x_163"></a>The type of reference is followed by a left curly brace, and immediately followed by the citation key. The citation key,
- <code class="literal">Lamport94</code> in the example above is used to cite this reference using the command
- <code class="literal">\cite{Lamport94}</code>.
- </p>
-<p id="x_164"></a>This is followed by the relevant fields and their values, listed one by one. Each entry must be followed by a comma to delimit one field from the other.</p>
-<p id="x_165"></a>To get your LaTeX document to use the bibliography database, you just add the following lines to your LaTeX document. :</p>
-<pre class="programlisting">\bibliographystyle{plain}
-\bibliography{LaTeX}
-
-</pre>
-<p id="x_166"></a>Bibliography styles are files that tell BibTeX how to format the information stored in the
- <code class="literal">.bib</code> database file. The style file for this example is
- <code class="literal">plain.bst</code>. Note that you do not need to add the
- <code class="literal">.bst</code> extension to the filename. If you wish to achieve a particular style of listing the bibliography items and citing them, you should use an appropriate style file.
- </p>
-<p id="x_167"></a>The
- <code class="literal">bibliography</code> command specifies the file that should be used as the database for references. The file used in this example is
- <code class="literal">LaTeX.bib</code>

- </p>
-<p id="x_177"></a>Exponents and subscripts can be typeset using the carat
- <code class="literal">^</code> and the underscore
- <code class="literal">_</code> respectively. Most of the math mode commands act only on the next character. If you want a command to affect several characters, they need to be enclosed in curly braces.
- </p>
-<p id="x_178"></a>The
- <code class="literal">\sqrt</code> command is used to typeset the square root symbol. LaTeX of the root sign is determined automatically. The nth root is generated with
- <code class="literal">\sqrt[n]</code>.
- </p>
-<p id="x_179"></a>To explicitly show a multiplication a dot may be shown.
- <code class="literal">\cdot</code> could be used, which typesets the dot to the center.
- <code class="literal">\cdots</code> is three centered dots while
- <code class="literal">\ldots</code> sets the dots on the baseline. Besides that
- <code class="literal">\vdots</code> for vertical and
- <code class="literal">\ddots</code> can be used for diagonal dots.
- </p>
-<p id="x_17a"></a>A fraction can be typeset with the command
- <code class="literal">\frac{..}{..}</code>
- </p>
-<p id="x_17b"></a>The integral operator is generated with
- <code class="literal">\int</code>, the sum operator with
- <code class="literal">\sum</code>, and the product operator with

- <code class="literal">^</code> and
- <code class="literal">_</code> like subscripts and superscripts.
- </p>
-<p id="x_17c"></a>LaTeX provides all kinds of braces as delimiters. The round and square brackets can be produces using the keys on the keyboard and appending a backslash. Other delimiters can be produced using special commands of LaTeX. Placing
- <code class="literal">\left</code> in front of an opening delimiter and
- <code class="literal">\right</code> in front of a closing delimiter, instructs LaTeX to automatically take care of the sizes of the delimiters.

- </p>
-<p id="x_183"></a>To write a
- <code class="literal">beamer</code> presentation, it is recommended that you use one of the templates that beamer provides. We shall use the
- <code class="literal">speaker_introduction</code> template to get started with beamer.
- </p>
-<p id="x_184"></a>As you can see, the document begins with the
- <code class="literal">documentclass</code> being set to beamer.
- </p>
-<p id="x_185"></a>The
- <code class="literal">\setbeamertemplate</code> command sets the template for various parameters. The
- <code class="literal">background canvas</code>,
- <code class="literal">headline</code> and
- <code class="literal">footline</code> are being set using the command.
- </p>
-<p id="x_186"></a>
- <code class="literal">\usetheme</code> command sets the theme to be used in the presentation.
- </p>
-<p id="x_187"></a>Notice that each slide is enclosed within
- <code class="literal">\begin{frame}</code> and
- <code class="literal">\end{frame}</code> commands. The
- <code class="literal">\begin{frame}</code> command can be passed the Title and Subtitle of the slide as parameters.

-<p id="x_189"></a>The
- <code class="literal">listings</code> package can be used to embed source code into your LaTeX document. We shall briefly explore inserting python code into our document.
- </p>
-<p id="x_18a"></a>Obviously, you first need to tell LaTeX that you want it to use the
- <code class="literal">listings</code> package, using the
- <code class="literal">\usepackage</code> command. :
- </p>
-<pre class="programlisting">\usepackage{listings}
-
-</pre>
-<p id="x_18b"></a>Then, we tell LaTeX that we are going to embed Python code into this document. A simple code highlighting for Python code can be achieved using this. :</p>
-<pre class="programlisting">\lstset{language=Python,
- showstringspaces=false,
- }
-
-</pre>
-<p id="x_18c"></a>You might want to customize the code highlighting further using other variables like
- <code class="literal">basicstyle</code>,
- <code class="literal">commentstyle</code>,
- <code class="literal">stringstyle</code>,
- <code class="literal">keywordstyle</code> etc. For detailed information on all this, you should look at the
- <code class="literal">listings</code> package documentation.
- </p>
-<p id="x_18d"></a>You include a block of code into your document by enclosing it within the
- <code class="literal">lstlisting</code> environment. :
- </p>
-<pre class="programlisting">\begin{lstlisting}
-string="Hello, World! "
-for i in range(10):
- print string*i
-\end{lstlisting}
-
-</pre>
-<p id="x_18e"></a>You can also include source code files directly into your latex document, using the
- <code class="literal">lstinputlisting</code> command. :
- </p>
-<pre class="programlisting">\lstinputlisting[lastline=20]{lstexample.py}
-
-</pre>
-<p id="x_18f"></a>This command includes the first 20 lines of the file

-<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
-<a name="including-files"></a>11.3. Including files</h3></div></div></div>
-<p id="x_190"></a>When working on a large document, it is convenient sometimes, to split the large file into smaller input files and club them together at the time of compiling.</p>
-<p id="x_191"></a>The
- <code class="literal">\input</code> or
- <code class="literal">\include</code> commands may be used to embed one LaTeX file into another. The
- <code class="literal">\input</code> command is equivalent to a copy and paste of the document, just before the compilation. The
- <code class="literal">\include</code> command is exactly similar, except for the fact that it creates a new page every time it is issued.
- </p>
-<p id="x_192"></a>
- <code class="literal">\input{file}</code> or
- <code class="literal">\include{file}</code> commands will include the file
- <code class="literal">file1.tex</code> with in the file where the command has been issued. Note that you do not need to specify the
- <code class="literal">.tex</code> extension of the file.
- </p>
-<p id="x_193"></a>The
- <code class="literal">\includeonly</code> is useful for debugging or testing the LaTeX document that you are creating, since it restricts the
- <code class="literal">\include</code> command. Only the files which are given as arguments to the
- <code class="literal">\includeonly</code> command will be included in the document (wherever a
