LATEX, written as LaTeX in plain text, is a document preparation system for the TeX typesetting program.
Contents
Examples
A base document
Note: This is a useful starting point for a large document or book.
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{book} \title{A Long Master Thesis} \author{Eivind Uggedal} \begin{document} \frontmatter \maketitle \tableofcontents \listoffigures \listoftables \include{acknowledgements} \mainmatter \include{introduction} \include{background} \include{methodology} \include{implementation} \include{analysis} \include{discussion} \include{conclusion} \appendix \include{questionnaire} \include{source.code} \backmatter \bibliography{bib.items} \end{document}
Document (basics)
Article with text only
\documentclass{article} \begin{document} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Duis dapibus. In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Aenean eu velit. Nullam eros. Vestibulum scelerisque tristique nisl. Maecenas in tortor sit amet justo rhoncus blandit. Cras eget ipsum bibendum massa ultricies sodales. Ut est arcu, elementum et, sagittis eget, pellentesque at, sem. Nam tincidunt. Curabitur urna arcu, ultrices nec, blandit ullamcorper, hendrerit id, ante. In tincidunt nonummy orci. Quisque eget sem. Ut aliquam augue eu libero. Sed turpis dui, euismod vel, ultricies sed, porta eget, lacus. \end{document}
Definition of macros for later use in document
\documentclass{article} \usepackage{german} % The example macro generates the marker for an example inside a document \def\example{\refstepcounter{subsection} \paragraph{\underline{$\rhd$\ Example\ \thesubsection}}} \begin{document} To generate the header for an example inside your document you now simply need to type: \example \end{document}
Inserting Graphics
The easiest way inserting graphics into your document is using the graphicx graphic bundle. Afterwards PostScript (ps) and Encapsulated PostScript Images (eps) can be inserted by saying \includegraphics
.
\begin[a4paper]{article} \usepackage{graphicx} \begin{document} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=5cm]{box.ps} \caption{This is an example for including a graphic using \texttt{graphicx.sty} and the \texttt{figure} environment} \label{fig:box} \end{figure} \end{document}
Extended
\documentclass[amsmath,amssymb]{revtex4} \usepackage{graphicx}% Include figure files \usepackage{dcolumn}% Align table columns on decimal point \usepackage{bm}% bold math \usepackage{epsfig}% include .eps files for figures \usepackage[frenchb]{babel}% SmallCaps font \begin{document} ... \end{document}
Tables
\begin{table} \caption{\label{tab:table1}Table Title} \begin{ruledtabular} \begin{tabular}{rrrrrrrrrr} \multicolumn{5}{c}{Heading 1}&\multicolumn{5}{c}{Heading 2}\\ Seg & Res & Atom & $<B>$ & $<$A$>$ & RMSD & {$T^rB$} & eval & $<B>$ & $<$A$>$\\ \hline 1-9 & 9 & 63 & 22.2 & 1.00 & 10.34 & 8.6 & 146.39 & 22.2 & 0.30\\ 10-15 & 6 & 41 & 14.7 & 1.00 & 6.99 & 1.3 & 0.00 & 14.7 & 0.17\\ 16-29 & 14 & 119 & 12.7 & 1.00 & 6.12 & 2.0 & 73.85 & 12.7 & 0.32\\ 30-47 & 18 & 130 & 7.4 & 1.00 & 2.79 & 2.9 & 11.28 & 7.4 & 0.69\\ 48-56 & 9 & 66 & 14.4 & 1.00 & 4.77 & -0.5 & 58.11 & 14.4 & 0.32\\ \end{tabular} \end{ruledtabular} \end{table}
Figures
Adding figures is easy in LaTeX:
ps2epsi input.ps output.eps
\usepackage{epsfig} % place at top of .tex file ... \begin{figure}[hbt] \begin{center} \psfig{file=output.eps,width=3.25in} \end{center} \caption[short TOC caption]{\em Testing 1FIN.} \label{ReferenceLabelHere} \end{figure}

Sed turpis dui, euismod vel, ultricies sed, porta eget, lacus. \end{document}
tex2ps
Convert your TeX file to a PostScript file ready for printing:
latex input.tex && dvips -f input.dvi > output.ps
Or, as a shell script:
latex $1.tex && dvips -f $1.dvi > $1.ps
