Skills Seminar February 28th, 2014 David Troendle Using TeXStudio And LaTeX
Agenda • Introduction • Installing TeXStudio on Windows and Ubuntu. • Structuring a LaTeX document. • Creating itemized and enumerated lists. • Creating a bibliography. • Creating figures, graphics and referencing them. • Creating tables. • Creating equations. • Getting past problems.
Introduction • Purpose of Skill Seminar • Get past steepest part of learning curve for a topic quickly. • Discuss basic strategy. • Show participate how to punch through the shallow part of the learning curve. • LaTeX is a markup language conceptually similar to HTML. Not WYSIWYG! • TeXStudio is an integrated development environment for LaTeX.
Installing TeXStudio onWindows and Ubuntu • Installation instructions available here. • Handy websites: • LaTeX Project Site • Comprehensive TeX Archive Network • Extensive package archive. • TeXStudio • LaTeX Wiki Book (Special characters) • LaTeX Math (Equations) Wiki Book
Structuring a LaTeX Document • HelloWorld.tex • \documentclass • \documentclass{article} • \documentclass[journal]{IEEEtran} • \documentclass[print]{acmconf} • Sample searches: • “latex ieee document class example” • “latex acm document class example” • Use the abstractions!
Creating itemized and enumerated lists • Bullets And Numbering Part 1 • Our first package – enumerate • Bullets And Numbering Part 2
Creating a Bibliography • BibTeX is the component of LaTeX that handles bibliographies. Formatting is largely controlled by the document class. • There is a separate <file>.bib that contains the bibliography database. • Bibliography Part 1 • Google “Quicksort” to find BibTeX file • Bibliography Part 2 • Bibliography Database
Creating Figures, GraphicsAnd Referencing Them • Figures And References • Use LibreDraw to create eps files. • Use Gimp to create png files.
Creating Tables • Tables
Creating Equations • Equations • Balancing parens, brackets is important. TeXStudio can help.
Getting Past Problems • Google it. Google it. Google it. • “latex how to boldface” • “latex how to set margins” • “latex how to place figures in figures” • “latex how to create algorithms” • “latex how to include file listings verbatim” • “latex how to create state diagram”
Examples • “CSci-533 Fall 2013 Homework 1.tex” • Example of algorithms, proofs • “Engr-692-67 Spring 2014 Homework 1.zip” • Example of arrays, program listings, and figures within figures. • “Engr-692-67 Spring 2014 Homework 2.zip” • Example of aligning equations. • Thanks to Drs. Wilkins and Xue for allowing their assignments to be shared.
Thanks! • Questions Our doubts are traitors, And make us lose the good we oft might win By fearing to attempt. William Shakespeare, "Measure for Measure", Act 1 scene 4 Fear of failure does not justify not trying. Try it!
