LATEX working and its Syntax
How does LATEX work?

® Reads in text
® Creates a DVI file
Function of DVI file.
® Encodes information on the fonts
® Positioning of the characters
® Translate the DVI file into page description
languages
® Document Preview
Further info on Compilation Process refer:

® options

Contents
® class–Article, Beamer, Book, Slides...etc
® options
options in Article class
® Font size (10pt, 11pt, 12pt)
® Paper size and format (a4paper, letterpaper, etc.)

options in Beamer class
Similar to Article class there are lot of options in Beamer.

Similarly we can choose other options for other classes.......

LATEX Commands
Two types of Commands: 1)Inbuilt 2)Custom

LATEX Commands
Inbuilt Commands
There are many inbuilt Commands, some of them are:
® author–declares the author(s)
® caption–generate caption for figures and tables
® color–Specifies color of the text
® footnote–Creates a footnote
® include–This command is different from input in that it’s the output that is added instead of the commands
from the other files.
Similarly there are n number of inbuilt commands.....
Further information on inbuilt Commands follow the below url’s
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Command_Glossary

http://www.stat.pitt.edu/stoffer/freetex/latex%20commands.pdf
Custom Command
newcommand{command name}[narg][opt]{def }
® narg–Number of arguments to the command (optional)
® opt–Specify optional arguments (optional)
® def–The denition of the new command.
Examples:newcommand{bsl}{$backslash$}—Now we can typeset a backslash using just bsl.
Similarly there are n number of custom commands..... Further information on custom Commands follow the below
url’s
http://www.cs.usask.ca/documents/LaTeX/macros.pdf

PACKAGES
Packages and their need:
® Many people have built their own commands and made them available to LATEXusers in packages.
® Packages allow us to use extra commands without having to include tons and tons of code in the preamble of a
document.

PACKAGES
document.
Syntax for including Package
usepackage[option]{package name}

PACKAGES
document.
Commonly used Packages
® amsmath – It has a set of tailored matrix environments
® geometry – It controls the overall margins, and text area
® graphicx – It introduces theincludegraphics command, which is needed for inserting figures.
® beamerposter – It introduces nice color box handling and alignment in the beamer class.
® xcolor – Driver-independent color and access to different kinds of color specifications.
® siunitx – Comes in handy when units and numbers are a big part of the writing.
® hyperref – Can add hyperlinks to your pdf output.
® booktabs – Tabulation
Similarly there are n number of packages that can simplify the job.....

Creating Packages
If you define a lot of new environments and commands, the preamble of your document will get quite long. In this
situation, it is a good idea to create a LaTeX package or class containing all your command and environment
definitions. It can be made dynamic enough to fit to all your future documents. For creating your custom package
refer:http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Creating_Packages

Beamer and its Themes
Beamer
® LATEX document class
® Creating slides
® Presentations
® Header:documentclass[options]{beamer}
® Advantages:
¢ Overlays and dynamic eﬀects
¢ Appearance of your presentation
¢ Presentation is in PDF format
® User Guide: http://www.tex.ac.uk/ctan/macros/latex/contrib/beamer/doc/beameruserguide.pdf

Alignment and Text Formatting
Alignment
® Alignment is the most important thing in Documenting,
® Aligning can be done for tabular columnsa,videos,images,text....etc
® Diﬀerent alignments and info refer: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Paragraph_Formatting
.

® Diﬀerent alignments and info refer: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Paragraph_Formatting
.
Text Formatting
® Formatting refer to most things to do with appearance, so it makes the list of possible topics quite eclectic: text
style, spacing, etc.
® LATEXis so ﬂexible that we will actually only skim the surface, as you can have much more control over the
presentation of your document if you wish.
® Line Spacing,Non-breaking spaces,Space between words and sentences,Stretched spaces,Manual
spacing,Hyphenation,Quote-marks,Diacritics and accents,Margin misalignment and interword spacing, Fonts....etc
can be customized..

Tabular Columns
® Tables are a common feature in academic writing,
® Summarise research results
® Necessary to produce quality papers

Tabular Columns
® Tables are a common feature in academic writing,
® Summarise research results
® Necessary to produce quality papers
Syntax for including Tabular column
begin{tabular}[pos]{tablespec}
Data
end{tabular}
® table spec
¢ l – left-justiﬁed column
¢ c – centered column
¢ r – right-justiﬁed column
¢ p’width’ – paragraph column with text vertically aligned at the top
¢ m’width’ – paragraph column with text vertically aligned in the middle (requires array package)
¢ b’width’ – paragraph column with text vertically aligned at the bottom (requires array package)
¢ — – vertical line
¢ —— – double vertical line
® pos
¢ b – bottom
¢ c – center (default)
¢ t – top
Other than the above Commands, we also have: & as column separator, for starting a new row, hline for
horizontal line and newline for a new line.

Columns
Syntax for puting a Column
begin{columns}
begin{column}[pos]{size}
Column 1
end{column}
Column 2
end{column}
end{columns}
pos refers to center left or right align and size is the width of the particular column.

Columns
Syntax for puting a Column
begin{columns}
Column 1
end{column}
Column 2

Example
begin{columns}
begin{column}[c]{0.5textwidth}
Column 1
end{column}
begin{column}[c]{0.5textwidth}

® Call the below instruction wherever necessary.
includegraphics[options]{image name with format}
® options can be size given in mm, cm, m,textwidth and or angle in degrees

Video
Syntax for including Video
® For including video in the documents, use the below package
usepackage{multimedia}
® Many other packages can be used to get the video for ecample movie9, movie15...etc.
movie[options]{postertext}{video name with format}
® Many other instructions can be used to get the video depending on the need.
® options can be externalviewer,autostart,borderwidth,depth,duration,label,loop,...etc
® The movie will use a rectangular area whose size is determined either by the width= and height= options or by
the size of the poster text.

Math and Symbols
Math
® Typesetting mathematics is one of LATEX’s greatest strengths
® It is also a large topic due to the existence of so much mathematical notation
® For including math package in the documents, use the below instruction
usepackage{amsmath}
or
usepackage{mathtools}
® For those who are not familiar with the syntax use MATHTYPE software to get the mathematic datas

Animations and Overlays
® Item-by-item list view: the pause command
® Item-by-item list view: the item < n− > command
® Item-by-item long list view: the [¡+-¿] command
® Displaying and hiding text in slides: the uncover < n− >, uncover < n − m > and uncover < p > commands
® Displaying and hiding text in slides: the only < n− >, only < n − m > and only < p > commands
® Hide text in slides: the invisible < n > commands
® And many more....

Interface with Other tools
Thus the latex with its own advantages can also be interfaced with other documenting tools like.
This interface creates a user friendly and eﬃcient way of documenting.
