Latex

LaTeX Beginner's Guide offers you a practical introduction to LaTeX. Beginning with the installation and basic usage, you will learn to typeset documents containing tables, figures, formulas, and common book elements like bibliographies, glossaries, and indexes. Lots of step-by-step examples start with fine-tuning text, formulas and page layout and go on to managing complex documents and using modern PDF features. It's easy to use LaTeX, when you have LaTeX Beginner's Guide at hand. This practical book will guide you through the essential steps of Latex, from installing LaTeX, formatting, and justification, to page design. Finally, you will learn how to manage complex documents and how to benefit from modern PDF features. Right from the beginning, you will learn to use macros and styles to maintain a consistent document structure while saving typing work. This book will help you learn to create professional looking tables as well as include figures and write complex mathematic formulas. You will see how to generate bibliographies and indexes with ease. Detailed information about online resources like software archives, web forums, and online compilers complement this introductory guide.

Extensive tutorial on LaTeX typesetting system prepared on Wikibooks

TeX (pronounced “Tech”, with “ch” like in the Scottish “Loch”; see below for de- tails on pronunciation) is a markup language created by Donald Knuth to typeset documents attractively and consistently. It’s also a Turing-complete programming language, in the sense that it supports the if-else construct, it can calculate (the cal- culations are performed while compiling the document), etc., but you would find it very hard to make anything else but typesetting with it. The fine control TeX offers makes it very powerful, but also difficult and time-consuming to use. Knuth started writing the TeX typesetting engine in 1977 to explore the potential of the digital print- ing equipment that was beginning to infiltrate the publishing industry at that time, especially in the hope that he could reverse the trend of deteriorating typographical quality that he saw affecting his own books and articles. TeX as we use it today was released in 1982, with some slight enhancements added in 1989 to better support 8-bit characters and multiple languages. TeX is renowned for being extremely stable, for running on many different kinds of computers, and for being virtually bug free.

LaTeX

LATEX is a typesetting system that is very suitable for producing scientific and mathematical documents of high typographical quality. It is also suitable for producing all sorts of other documents, from simple letters to complete books. LATEX uses TEX as its formatting engine. This short introduction describes LATEX 2 and should be sufficient for most applications of LATEX.

LaTeX is high-quality Open Source typesetting software that produces professional prints and PDF files. However, as LaTeX is a powerful and complex tool, getting started can be intimidating. There is no official support and certain aspects such as layout modifications can seem rather complicated. It may seem more straightforward to use Word or other WYSIWG programs, but once you've become acquainted, LaTeX's capabilities far outweigh any initial difficulties. This book guides you through these challenges and makes beginning with LaTeX easy. If you are writing Mathematical, Scientific, or Business papers, or have a thesis to write, then this is the perfect book for you.

Este texto cubre aspectos básicos e intermedios sobre composición tipográfica La- TeX, diseño editorial, presentaciones Beamer, edición adicional de gráficos y figuras con Inkscape y Tikz y entornos con los paquetes xparse y con tcolorbox. También se desarrollan tópicos que tienen que ver con paquetes especiales. Algunas veces la descripción se hace “por ejemplos”, dada la vastedad del tema (la documentación de algunos paquetes sobrepasa las mil páginas). Los capítulos que se han incluido son los tópicos más frecuentes en la edición de libros y artículos sobre matemáticas, educación, software y programación, según nuestra experiencia. Incluye nuevos paquetes y nuevos comandos que resuelven problemas cotidianos de edición de textos matemáticos de una manera más sencilla. Ahora se consideran nuevas cosas en diseño editorial e infografía y una nueva presentación de los entornos (basada en la versión más reciente de varios paquetes: TikZ, xparse y tcolorbox).

Aborda la creación de documentos en LaTeX de forma abarcadora con todas sus facilidades. Programming in TeX has a very high learning curve, and requires a significant investment of time to build custom macros for text formatting. Fortunately, document preparation systems based on TeX, consisting of collections of pre-built macros, do exist. These pre-built macros are time saving, and automate certain repetitive tasks and help reduce user introduced errors; however, this convenience comes at the cost of complete design flexibility. One of the most popular macro packages is called LaTeX.

LaTeX

LaTEX is not just a system for typesetting mathematics. Its applications span the one-page memorandum, business and personal letters, newsletters, articles, and books covering the whole range of the sciences and humanities, . . . right up to full-scale expository texts and reference works on all topics. Nowadays, versions of L a TEX exist for practically every type of computer and operating system. This book provides a wealth of information about its many present-day uses but first provides some background information. The first section of this chapter looks back at the origins and subsequent development of L a TEX. 1 The second section gives an overview of the file types used by a typical current L a TEX system and the rôle played by each. Finally, the chapter offers some guidance on how to use the book.

Bibliografía en Latex

L A TEX es una poderosa herramienta para la edición de documentos estructurados. Agregar una bibliografía a un documento en L A TEX tampoco es complicado. Existen cuando menos dos opciones: el entorno thebibliography y la herramienta BibTEX. Optar por una u otra depende de la naturaleza del trabajo que se esté realizando. En este documento se describen ambas en forma concisa, de tal manera que sirva como una referencia rápida. Es importante mencionar que este pequeño manual presupone que el lector está familiarizado con los conceptos básicos de L A TEX
