    33 \label{sec-1}

    34 

    35 

    36 \begin{enumerate}

    37 \item Compile and produce a pdf output of \texttt{example1.tex}.

    38 \item Modify \texttt{example1.tex} replacing \texttt{LaTeX} with \texttt{\textbackslash{}LaTeX}.

    39 \item Add a title, author and date to the document.

    40 \item What happens if \texttt{\textbackslash{}date} is replaced by \texttt{\textbackslash{}date\{IIT, Bombay\}} ?

    41 \item Debug and compile examples 2, 3, 4, 5

    42 \item Provide a document (pdf and source) with a TOC, but has been

    43      compiled only once. Exercise for Debugging.

    44 \item What happens when you add the following \LaTeX{} code to the

    45      document from the previous question? 

    46      

    47 \begin{verbatim}

    48       \renewcommand{\contentsname}{What is Here?}

    49 \end{verbatim}

    50 

    51 \item Experiment with setting the secnumdepth counter to 1, 0, -1.

    52 \item Debug and compile example 6.

    53 \item Experiment with the options of \texttt{\textbackslash{}documentclass}.

    54 

    55 \begin{itemize}

    56 \item 10pt, 11pt, 12pt sets the size of the text of the document.

    57 \item onecolumn, twocolumn

    58 \item draft --- makes \LaTeX{} highlight problems in typesetting to

    59         be looked at by a human.

    60 \end{itemize}

    61 

    62 \end{enumerate}

    63 \section{Lab-2}

    64 \label{sec-2}

    65 

    66 

    67 \begin{enumerate}

    68 \item \texttt{\textbackslash{}newpage} command adds a page break. Add some page breaks to

    69      example 6 and see how the command works.

    70 \item Try out the commands \texttt{\textbackslash{}pagestyle} and \texttt{\textbackslash{}thispagestyle} with the

    71      following parameters and look at the outputs obtained.

    72 

    73 \begin{itemize}

    74 \item \texttt{empty},

    75 \item \texttt{plain},

    76 \item \texttt{heading}

    77 \end{itemize}

    78 

    79 \item Add the following description list describing the options to

    80      \texttt{\textbackslash{}includegraphics} command to a document and look at the output. 

    81 

    82 \begin{verbatim}

    83 \begin{description}

    84 \item[{\texttt{width=x}, \texttt{height=x}}] 

    85 If only the height or width is specified, the image is scaled, maintaining the aspect ratio.

    86 

    87 \item[{\texttt{keepaspectratio}}]  

    88 This parameter can either be set to true or false. When set to true, the image is scaled according to both width and height, without changing the aspect ratio, so that it does not exceed both the width and the height dimensions.

    89 

    90 \item[{\texttt{angle=x}}] 

    91 This option can be used to rotate the image by \texttt{x} degrees, counter-clockwise.

    92 

    93 \end{description}

    94 \end{verbatim}

    95 \item \texttt{\textbackslash{}ldots} is used to get ellipsis in \LaTeX{} documents.

    96 \item Read the manual of listings package and learn how to include a

    97      set of lines from a file into a \LaTeX{} document. Include a few

    98      lines from your previous lab exercises of ULT.

    99 \item To change the line spacing of your document

   100      \texttt{\textbackslash{}usepackage\{setspace\}} and then specify the line spacing of

   101      your document, using \texttt{\textbackslash{}doublespace}, \texttt{\textbackslash{}onehalfspace}, etc.

   102 \item Debug and compile examples 9, 10

   103 \end{enumerate}

   104 \section{Lab-3}

   105 \label{sec-3}

   106 

   107 

   108 \begin{enumerate}

   109 \item Debug and compile example 7.

   110 \item BibTeX is another way of handling bibliography. Look at

   111        bibtex.rst and change draft.tex to use BibTeX.

   112 \item As you would've already observed, \LaTeX{} compilation produces a

   113        lot of other files along with the pdf output.

   114 

   115 \begin{itemize}

   116 \item .log --- gives a log of what happened during last

   117          compilation.

   118 \item .toc --- stores section headers. Edit this file and observe

   119          changes in this document to see how the compilation of \LaTeX{}

   120          works and why two compilations are required for table of

   121          contents to work.

   122 \item .aux --- used to share information between consecutive

   123          compiler runs.

   124 \end{itemize}

   125 

   126 \item Prepare a presentation in beamer with solutions to any 10

   127        problems from the Lab workbook.

   128 \item Debug and compile example 8.

   129 \item Finish the incomplete parts of the draft to obtain the complete

   130        output of the sample document that we started out to prepare.

   131 \end{enumerate}

   132 

   133 \end{document}
