  • Latex on Windows
    LaTeX on Windows Installing MikTeX and using TeXworks, as described on the main LaTeX page, is enough to get you started using LaTeX on Windows. This page provides further information for experienced users. Tips for using TeXworks Forward and Inverse Search If you are working on a long document, forward and inverse searching make editing much easier. • Forward search means jumping from a point in your LaTeX source file to the corresponding line in the pdf output file. • Inverse search means jumping from a line in the pdf file back to the corresponding point in the source file. In TeXworks, forward and inverse search are easy. To do a forward search, right-click on text in the source window and choose the option "Jump to PDF". Similarly, to do an inverse search, right-click in the output window and choose "Jump to Source". Other Front End Programs Among front ends, TeXworks has several advantages, principally, it is bundled with MikTeX and it works without any configuration. However, you may want to try other front end programs. The most common ones are listed below. • Texmaker. Installation notes: 1. After you have installed Texmaker, go to the QuickBuild section of the Configuration menu and choose pdflatex+pdfview. 2. Before you use spell-check in Texmaker, you may need to install a dictionary; see section 1.3 of the Texmaker user manual. • Winshell. Installation notes: 1. Install Winshell after installing MiKTeX. 2. When running the Winshell Setup program, choose the pdflatex-optimized toolbar. 3. Winshell uses an external pdf viewer to display output files.

    LATEX for Word Processor Users version 1.0.10 Guido Gonzato, Ph.D. [email protected] January 8, 2015 Abstract Text processing with LATEX offers several advantages over word processing. How- ever, beginners may find it hard to figure out how to perform common tasks and obtain certain features. This manual attempts to ease the transition by drawing com- parisons between word processing and LATEX typesetting. The main word processor capabilities are listed, along with their equivalent LATEX commands. Many examples are provided.

  • 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.

  • Texshop in 2003
    TeXShop in 2003 Richard Koch Mathematics Department University of Oregon Eugene, Oregon, USA [email protected] http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch Abstract TeXShop is a free TEX previewer for Mac OS X, released under the GPL. A great many people have contributed code to the project. TeXShop uses teTEX and TEX Live as an engine, typesetting primarily with pdftex and pdflatex. The pdf output is displayed using Apple’s internal pdf display code. I’ll discuss recent changes in the program and plans for the future. Introduction What are we talking about here?

  • LATEX Pour Les Débutants Sous Macos X
    LATEX pour les débutants sous MacOS X Paul SALORT - Jim 9 juin 2003 Remerciements Je remercie chaleureusement Julien SALORT et Benoit RIVET pour leur aide précieuse pour la rédaction de ce petit opuscule. Une page plus complète sur LATEX peut être consultée ici : http://jim.fcsm.free.fr/LaTeX.html I Préambule 1. Lorsque j’ai décidé d’utiliser LATEX pour la première fois, j’ai recherché sur le web quelles pouvaient être les sources de documentation pour un débutant. J’ai trouvé pas mal de ma- nuels d’initiation, dont quelques uns étaient rédigés ou traduits en français. – « Une Courte Introduction à LATEX 2e » traduit par Matthieu Herrb 1 – « Joli manuel pour LATEX 2e, Guide local de l’ESIEE » par Benjamin Bayart 2 – « Apprends LATEX ! » ouvrage de l’ENSTA par Marc Baudouin – « Guide d’introduction au traitement de textes LATEX » par Frédéric Geraerds La plupart de ces ouvrages sont de qualité, mais supposent des pré-requis que je ne possé- dais pas, ils sont tous rédigés par des unixiens plus habitués à la ligne de commande qu’à la simplicité d’un logiciel pour élaborer des documents LATEX . Ils ne m’ont donc pas permis de progresser à mon rythme, c’est aussi la raison de ce petit opuscule. 2. Utilisant un MacIntosh, je souhaitais également disposer d’un outil en GUI 3 sous MacOS X. Plusieurs outils étaient disponibles : – BBEdit Lite distribué par Bare Bones Software, Inc et disponible en téléchargement à l’adresse http://www.barebones.com/products/bblite/index.shtml – jedit, un programme OpenSource en java, disponible en téléchargement à l’adresse http: //www.jedit.org/index.php?page=download.
