Simple Latex for Students
Simple Latex for Students
This is a very short, and not so polished tutorial on latex. Basically,
it consists of the following example latex file, and supporting files
- example.tex. This is the example latex file.
It has comments that you should read.
- fullpage.sty. This is the accompanying
style file. Download this into the same directory as the
latex file before latexing
- smile.ps This is the accompanying postscript
figure example. Also download this into the same directory as
the latex file before latexing.
- example.ps. This is what the example file
should look like after (1) latexing example.tex, and them (2) converting
the dvi file into postscript using dvips.
For more informatio, see the Latex User's Guide and Reference Manual
by Leslie Lamport. It's a paperback spiral-bound book, published by
Addison-Wesley. There's a newer version of latex called latex 2epsilon,
or something like that. Don't get the manual for this newer version since
our systems do not support this at this time.
