Creating My First Latex Article, Part 2
The PracTEX Journal Vol 1 No 2, 2005-04-15 Rev. 2005-JUL-11 \begin{here} \title{Sujet du jour: Creating my first LATEX article, Partie 2} \author{Tim Null} \input{LATEX Survivor’s Guide} Abstract This is the second in a series of columns on the preparation of a simple and short LATEX article. The main topic of discussion is techniques for avoiding and resolving LATEX errors. It is proposed that working to minimize risk is a good strategy for new LATEX users. Techniques for reducing risk are offered. The topic for the simple example article will be introduced, and the topic will be related to the philosophy of risk minimization. The information presented in the first \begin{here} column is reviewed in an included appendix. This material is re-presented in a different and, hopefully, clearer format. \begin{here} Col. #2: Topic #1, Part #2 Tim Null is a semi-tired Technical Editor. Recently he’s been keeping himself occupied doing copyediting and figure “repair”; that is, when he’s not busy watching his old Marcus Welby tapes. c 2005 Tim Null 1 Introduction The \begin{here} column is for LATEX newbies and wannabes. I happen to be a LATEX rube myself, so I am personally looking forward to learning lots of good stuff. I come from a family of teachers, and they say the best way to learn a subject is to teach it. I guess this column will put that theory to the test, even though I don’t consider myself much of a teacher. I missed out on the family’s teacher gene, but that’s OK. -
Travels in TEX Land: Choosing a TEX Environment for Windows
The PracTEX Journal TPJ 2005 No 02, 2005-04-15 Rev. 2005-04-17 Travels in TEX Land: Choosing a TEX Environment for Windows David Walden The author of this column wanders through world of TEX, as a non-expert, reporting what he observes and learns, which hopefully will be interesting to other non-expert users of TEX. 1 Introduction This column recounts my experiences looking at and thinking about different ways TEX is set up for users to go through the document-composition to type- setting cycle (input and edit, compile, and view or print). First, I’ll describe my own experience randomly trying various TEX environments. I suspect that some other users have had a similar introduction to TEX; and perhaps other users have just used the environment that was available at their workplace or school. Then I’ll consider some categories for thinking about options in TEX setups. Last, I’ll suggest some follow-on steps. Since I use Microsoft Windows as my computer operating system, this note focuses on environments that are available for Windows.1 2 My random path to choosing a TEX environment 2 I started using TEX in the late 1990s. 1But see my offer in Section 4. 2 While I started using TEX, I switched from TEX to using LATEX as soon as I discovered LATEX existed. Since both TEX and LATEX are operated in the same way, I’ll mostly refer to TEX in this note, since that is the more basic system. c 2005 David C. Walden I don’t quite remember my first setup for trying TEX. -
Producing Beautiful Documents with TEX and LATEX an Extremely Brief Introduction
Producing Beautiful Documents With TEX and LATEX An Extremely Brief Introduction Lawrence Hubert University of Illinois Producing Beautiful Documents With TEX and LATEX – p. 1/37 What is TEX and LATEX? TEX is a very mathematically savvy typesetting engine produced in the 1980’s by Donald Knuth from Stanford. It is open-source (which means it is free, and freely available); implemented for every conceivable operating system; it is currently in Version 3.141592, so it is, in effect, now “fixed” forever. Extra Credit: can you tell why it is essentially “fixed”? And what will be the version number when Knuth dies? Producing Beautiful Documents With TEX and LATEX – p. 2/37 LATEX is a set of macros sitting on top of TEX that makes our task easier. It was produced by Leslie Lamport in the middle 1980’s; it is also open-source and delivered conjointly with any TEX system. The current version is LATEX2e and is under constant development and extension. TEX and LATEX work together, with LATEX helping produce what is called the document mark-up, and TEX then being called upon to do the actual typesetting. Producing Beautiful Documents With TEX and LATEX – p. 3/37 Features and Advantages Why you should use TEX and LATEX— In contrast to word-processing methods such as Word, you do not worry about the visual formatting of your document. You are concerned only about the content. In other words, you separate content from layout. The file you produce is ascii, the simplest you can have with no special symbols; it includes general commands for what you wish to do in the document. -

Chapter 1: What is MiKTEX? 1 1 What is MiKTEX? 1.1 MiKTEX Features MiKTEX is a TEX distribution for Windows (95/98/NT/2000). Its main features include: • Native Windows implementation with support for long file names. • On-the-fly generation of missing fonts. • TDS (TEX directory structure) compliant. • Open Source. • Advanced TEX compiler features: -TEX can insert source file information (aka source specials) into the DVI file. This feature improves Editor/Previewer interaction. -TEX is able to read compressed (gzipped) input files. - The input encoding can be changed via TCX tables. • Previewer features: - Supports graphics (PostScript, BMP, WMF, TPIC, . .) - Supports colored text (through color specials) - Supports PostScript fonts - Supports TrueType fonts - Understands HyperTEX(html:) specials - Understands source (src:) specials - Customizable magnifying glasses • MiKTEX is network friendly: - integrates into a heterogeneous TEX environment - supports UNC file names - supports multiple TEXMF directory trees - uses a file name database for efficient file access - Setup Wizard can be run unattended The MiKTEX distribution consists of the following components: • TEX: The traditional TEX compiler. -
About Basictex-2021
About BasicTeX-2021 Richard Koch January 2, 2021 1 Introduction Most TeX distributions for Mac OS X are based on TeX Live, the reference edition of TeX produced by TeX User Groups across the world. Among these is MacTeX, which installs the full TeX Live as well as front ends, Ghostscript, and other utilities | everything needed to use TeX on the Mac. To obtain it, go to http://tug.org/mactex. 2 Basic TeX BasicTeX (92 MB) is an installation package for Mac OS X based on TeX Live 2021. Unlike MacTeX, this package is deliberately small. Yet it contains all of the standard tools needed to write TeX documents, including TeX, LaTeX, pdfTeX, MetaFont, dvips, MetaPost, and XeTeX. It would be dangerous to construct a new distribution by going directly to CTAN or the Web and collecting useful style files, fonts and so forth. Such a distribution would run into support issues as the creators move on to other projects. Luckily, the TeX Live install script has its own notion of \installation packages" and collections of such packages to make \installation schemes." BasicTeX is constructed by running the TeX Live install script and choosing the \small" scheme. Thus it is a subset of the full TeX Live with exactly the TeX Live directory structure and configuration scripts. Moreover, BasicTeX contains tlmgr, the TeX Live Manager software introduced in TeX Live 2008, which can install additional packages over the network. So it will be easy for users to add missing packages if needed. Since it is important that the install package come directly from the standard TeX Live distribution, I'm going to explain exactly how I installed TeX to produce the install package. -
Tugboat, Volume 33 (2012), No. 1 53 TEX on Windows: Miktex Or TEX Live? Joseph Wright on Windows, There Are Two Actively-Develop
TUGboat, Volume 33 (2012), No. 1 53 TEX on Windows: MiKTEX or TEX Live? A reminder that MiKTEX and TEX Live are not the only choices. W32TEX (Kakuto, 2012) is popular Joseph Wright in the far east. As well as being a TEX system in On Windows, there are two actively-developed free its own right, it is the source of the Windows binar- TEX systems with similar coverage: MiKTEX (Schenk, ies for TEX Live, and TEX Live acquires more CJK 2011) and TEX Live (TEX Users Group, 2011). The support from it every year. For users focussed on good news is that there is a lot of similarity between ConTEXt, ConTEXt standalone (Pragma ADE, 2012) the two systems, so for most users both systems is probably the best way to go (it uses the W32TEX are equally usable, and (LA)TEX documents are port- binaries on Windows). There are also the commer- able between them. However, there are differences cial options, for example BaKoMa TEX (BaKoMa and depending on what you need these might be Soft., 2011) or PCTEX (Personal TEX, Inc., 2011). important. However, for most users it comes down to a choice between the ‘big two’. • The default settings install everything for TEX Live, but only a minimal set of packages for References MiKT X.

Issue a \documentclass{pracjourn} command at the beginning of your document as usual. No class options are necessary. This document class automatically loads the packages color, graphicx, hyperref, varioref, and textcomp. These are all standard packages in every TEX distribution. 2.1 Formatting Page metrics are appropriate for printing on either A4 or letter size paper. The type size is 12/15.5 Palatino. Except in exceptional circumstances, please refrain from using typefaces other than those defined by this class. Hyperlinks are inserted automatically in the relevant locations in a dark blue colour. If you wish to adjust this colour to suit your own colour requirements, 1 simply redefine the linkcolour. -
Installation
APPENDIX A Installation In case you do not already have a LATEX installation, in Sections A.1 and A.2, we describe how to install LATEX on your computer, a PC or a Mac. The installation is much easier if you obtain TEX Live 2007 (or later) from the TEX Users Group, TUG (see Section E.2). It contains both the TEX implementations we discuss. No installation is given for UNIX computers. The attraction of UNIX to its users is the incredibly large number of options, from the UNIX dialect, to the shell, the editor, and so on. A typical UNIX user downloads the code and compiles the system. This is obviously beyond the scope of this book. Nevertheless, TEX Live 2007 (or later) from the TEX Users Group supplies the compiled (binaries) of LATEX for a number of UNIX variants. First read Chapter 1, so that in this Appendix you recognize the terminology we introduce there. I will assume that you become sufficiently familiar with your LATEX distribution to be able to perform the editing cycle with the sample documents. 490 Appendix A Installation A.1 LATEX on a PC On a PC, most mathematicians use MiKTeX and the editor WinEdt. So it seems appro- priate that we start there. A.1.1 Installing MiKTeX If you made a donation to MiKTeX or if you have the TEX Live 2007 (or later) from the TEX Users Group, then you have a CD or DVD with the MiKTeX installer. Installation then is in one step and very fast. In case you do not have this CD or DVD, we show how to install from the Internet.
