A very short introduction to LaTeX

LaTeX

Muhammad Muddassir Malik 18

A very short introduction to LaTeX

„Programming“ a text document

Similarities to HTML

No WYSIWYG

Most convenient to use a LaTeX distribution and a LaTeX IDE (integrated development environment)

Muhammad Muddassir Malik 19

A very short introduction to LaTeX

First install a LaTeX DistributionMiKTeX

Then a LaTeX IDETeXnicCenter

Texmaker

LEd

Muhammad Muddassir Malik 20

A very short introduction to LaTeX

MiKTeX"Basic MiKTeX" Installer

Adds the MiKTeX \bin directory to the PATH

Muhammad Muddassir Malik 21

A very short introduction to LaTeX

Extract the archive acmsiggraph.zipOpen a command line window

Go to the directory where template.tex isOn command line type: epstopdf sample.eps

In LaTeX IDE open template.texChange all sample.eps to sample.pdfProduce PDF document

In TeXnicCenter open template.texSelect LaTeX=>PS output profileProduce a PS documentConvert PS to PDF using Adobe Distiller

Muhammad Muddassir Malik 22

A very short introduction to LaTeX

Work with 2 files:A .tex file for the text

A .bib file for the bibliography which is used by the citations command \cite
