Online tutorials for LaTeX
- yannis 17y agoInteresting how they made a Tutorial out of a pdf file. Does anyone know how this is done?
- sev 17y agoYou mean the buttons on the right side? Acrobat can do that. Although it would be fitting if they did it using LaTeX.
- yannis 17y agoI was puzzling if there was a way to do that using LaTeX, but you correct they probably used Acrobat Professional
- mseebach 17y agoIt says so right on the frontpage: This document is generated from LTEX sources compiled with pdfLTEX v. 14e in an INTEL Pentium III 700 MHz system running Linux kernel version 2.2.14-12. The packages used are hyperref.sty and pdfscreen.sty

- mseebach 17y agoI'm pretty sure your TOC is put there automatically if you use pdflatex.

- ckuehne 17y agoTake a look at http://www.tug.org.in/tutorial/src/fiscreen.sty http://www.tug.org.in/tutorial/src/fiscreen.sty. EDIT: It defines the navigation elements as well.
- slug 17y agoIf you want to create nice presentations, I recommend LaTex Beamer: http://latex-beamer.sourceforge.net/ http://latex-beamer.sourceforge.net/
- RichClaxton 17y agoI have just started using LaTex for documentation at work, after years struggling with Word, its a real revelation.
- krschultz 17y agoI was just forced to start using it for one project, and once I got over the learning curve (which is a lot shorter than it first appears) I love it. Now I'm using it for projects where it is not necessary but is a superior solution to word. The only thing I still really struggle with is the placement of figures exactly where you want them.
- nzmsv 17y ago\usepackage{float} ... \begin{document} ... \begin{figure}[H] But LaTeX is often better at determining where a figure should go. There is usually no reason it has to be right after a certain paragraph - books and magazines certainly don't do that. It's just another thing to get used to coming from Word.
- kib2 17y agoThis one is not online, but really worth a look (beware, it's a work in progress) : http://csweb.ucc.ie/~dongen/LaTeX-and-Friends.pdf http://csweb.ucc.ie/~dongen/LaTeX-and-Friends.pdf
- fbu 17y agoMy favorite intro to LaTeX still is The Not So Short Introduction To LaTeX: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/lshort/english/lshort.pdf http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/lshort/english/lshort.p...
- twopoint718 17y agoThe TeXBook by Knuth is also good if you want to really get to know TeX (and by extension LaTeX). The writing is engaging and well-paced: ISBN: 0201134470
- Osmose 17y agoEvery time someone brings up LaTeX I bring up Pandoc. It's an awesome conversion tool written in Haskell that converts between a number of input and output languages, most notably from markdown to LaTeX or a PDF made with LaTeX. I've been using it for all my assignments and papers since I got it, and it's really nice to write in markdown, but be able to use LaTeX for things markdown can't handle.

- astine 17y agoEmacs Muse is another project that is worth looking at for this kind of work: http://mwolson.org/projects/EmacsMuse.html http://mwolson.org/projects/EmacsMuse.html It's basically a markup language not too different from markdown, but which is much more flexible and translates to LaTeX, HTML, PDF, etc.
- pellicle 17y agoYes. It's great to be able to use a LaTeX-formatted equation into a regular Pandoc Markdown document. BTW, for those wanting to learn more about how to use LaTeX, you might try writing your doc in Markdown, pandoc it into LaTeX, and then look at that LaTeX output in your editor. I'll add though, that with LaTeX I had to write markup. With Markdown I just write.
- yumraj 17y agoI have been looking at LyX. Link: www.lyx.org It's a WYSIWYM, What You See Is What You Mean editor which uses LaTeX/TeX with a graphical editor. It's cross-platform, documentation is first rate and IMHO is an excellent contender to Word, let alone writing LaTex.
