History Don Knuth received the 1974 Turing ‘In the late 1970s, Donald Knuth was revising the second volume of his award for his major contributions to multivolume magnum opus The Art of Computer Programming, got the the analysis of algorithms and the galleys, looked at them, and said (approximately) “blecch”! He had design of programming languages, and just received his first samples from the new typesetting system of the in particular for his contributions to the “art of computer programming” publisher’s, and its quality was so far below that of the first edition of through his well-known books in a Volume 2 that he couldn’t stand it.’ Just what is TEX continuous series by this title. Leslie Lamport received the 2013 TEX, written mostly by Knuth, was released in 1978. The current Turing Award for advances in reliability and consistency of computing systems. version of TEX is 3.14159265. To add a level of abstraction to TEX, Leslie Lamport wrote LATEX and released it in 1984.LATEX allows a writer to concentrate on con- tent and structure rather than formatting details. Separating content from form is important. evans library online research support workshops:LATEX 2ε a document preparation system 2

Is LATEX hard to use?

LATEX is not easy: Few worthwhile endeavors are easy. It’s easy to use if you’re one of the 2% of the population who thinks logically and can read an instruction manual. The other 98% of the population would find it very hard or impossible to use. An interview with Leslie Lamport

I’ve heard TEX, hence LATEX is Turing complete: Any computable problem can be solved in LATEX, not that you would want too.

Cools examples

I cannot teach you how to write LATEX. I can point you to interesting examples.

From the Wikipedia page, I’ve heard of TeXworks, cannot for to use it. Learning Emacs requires a separate effort. TeXShop, Lyx, and TeXnicCenter, perhaps others. I cannot recom- mend any of these tools because I would/have not use them.

Robert Gaskins on PowerPoint (his A minimal file invention): ‘But I also hear a complaint Here’s the LATEX version of Hello, world!. that really is new with Pow- erPoint: that more and more \documentclass{article} business and academic talks \begin{document} look like poor attempts at Hello, world! sales presentations, swamped \end{document} by gaudy visual ornamen- tation with no purpose or The class of a document defines basic structures: chapter, section, benefit related to the presen- subsection, table of contents, etc. Major classes are these: tation.

Now, I mostly use tufte-handout or tufte-book classes for short presentations, literate programs, and longer documents. Do you know of Edward Tufte? Here’s his home page.

Standard stuff

LATEX does math • In-line math −1 = eπi: $-1=e^{\pi i}$.

• Labeled equations

Z dcabin houseboat = (1) cabin

\begin{equation} \label{eq:1} \text{houseboat} = \int \frac{d\text{cabin}}{\text{cabin}} \end{equation}

You can refer to equation by name: see 1: see \ref{eq:1}.

• You can define math (and other) macros

\newcommand{\coff}[3]{\ensuremath{\Gamma^{#1#2}_{#3}}}

ij for complex expressions such as Christoffel symbols, Γk : \coff{i}{j}{k}.

LATEX does lists There are itemized lists: \begin{itemize} • Orange \item \textcolor{orange}{Orange} • Purple \item \textcolor{purple}{Purple} \end{itemize} Enumerated lists: \begin{enumerate} 1. In the beginning . . . \item In the beginning \dots \item Then \dots 2. Then . . . \end{enumerate} evans library online research support workshops:LATEX 2ε a document preparation system 4

LATEX does tables \begin{center} \begin{tabular}{@{}llr@{}} \toprule Item \multicolumn{2}{c}{Item} \\ \cmidrule(r){1-2} Animal Description Price ($) Animal & Description & Price (\$)\\ \midrule Gnat & per gram & 13.65 \\ Gnat per gram 13.65 & each & 0.01 \\ each 0.01 Gnu & stuffed & 92.50 \\ Gnu stuffed 92.50 Emu & stuffed & 33.33 \\ Emu stuffed 33.33 Armadillo & frozen & 8.99 \\ \bottomrule Armadillo frozen 8.99 \end{tabular} \end{center}

Separate content from form

LATEX files are plain text files. The importance of this is: Interpreters can easily read LATEX files. LATEX is a markup language, separating content and structure from formatting. The importance of this is: Translators to other mark-up languages can be written. Tools to convert LATEX files to PDF, XML, HTML, RTF and other file formats exist. A translator to flow-able text is needed.

LATEX packages

Packages add functionality to classes. A few basic packages are:

• amsmath — for fine tuning mathematics

• booktabs — for professional looking tables

• hyperref — for hypertext and pdf

• nag — yeah, yeah, yeah do it right

• natbib — for bibliography styles

• tikz — for graphics evans library online research support workshops:LATEX 2ε a document preparation system 9
