researchers should learn LaTex ; Why ?
 List of Advantages and not the other

CTAN (an acronym for "Comprehensive TeX
Archive Network") is the authoritative place
where TeX related material and software can

What LaTex is ?
 It is a document preparation System not
as a word processor like MS Word, Open
Office and its variants like star office, libre
office suite etc.
 Unlike a word Processor, which produces
document as WYSIWYG basis, Latex does
not deliver WYSIWYG basis, it is rather a
Language Processor that delivers output
after processing.
Advantages…And Beyond…
The source file is Ascii text file
Editing through a Text editor and compilation
of the text file delivers the output in desired
format dvi, ps, pdf etc
 Very large document can be produced by
segmenting the desired text as a file consisting
of sequence of input of sub-files and compiling
the combined-input file
 Have a complete control over the output
Disadvantage: Steep Learning Curve
What the Creator Says...
 In the Language of Donad E. Knuth, the creator

of TeX in his TeX book addressed as ``GENTLE
READER : My few words about TEX, a new
typesetting system intended for the creation of
beautiful books and especially for books that
contain a lot of mathematics
 you will be telling a computer exactly how the
manuscript is to be transformed into pages
whose typographic quality is comparable to
that of the world’s finest printers;.
In the words of the Creator..
 yet you won’t need to do much more work

than would be involved If you were simply
typing the manuscript on an ordinary
typewriter.
 In fact, your total work will probably be
significantly less, if you consider the time it
ordinarily takes to revise a typewritten
manuscript, since computer text files are
so easy to change and to reprocess.''
The LaTex from TeX
 An important boost to that popularity

came in 1984 with the introduction of
\LaTeX by Leslie Lamport. This is a set of
commands that allows authors to interact
with the system at a higher level than
Knuth's original command set (called
Plain TeX).

The LaTex from TeX ...
 Another boost came in 1990, when Hans

Hagen introduced ConTeXt to the world;
Con\TeXt started with similar aims to
(though a different focus from) \LaTeX,
and is also very widely used. Both LaTeX
and ConTeXt have large and active user
communities.

Ten Good Reasons...
 These are the reasons most often cited for using
TeX, grouped into four areas:
 1. Output Quality, 2. Superior Engineering,
 3. Freedom, and 4. Popularity. (see the description )
 Details:
 TeX has the best output.
 TeX knows typesetting.
 TeX is fast.
 TeX is Stable
 TeX is stable, but not rigid.
 The input is plain text
 The output can be any of the desired formats.
 TeX is free.
 TeX runs anywhere
 TeX is the standard.
The Work bench
 Windows Based OS with MikTex (free ) , WinEdt
(Prop), Texnic Center (free), XeTex (Prop)
 Linux based OS with the following LaTex front
end IDEs ( All Free ) can be installed.
 Kile
 LaTexila
 TeXmaker
 TeXworks
 TeXstudio
 The LyX LaTex Word processor
LaTex Flavours ...
 Various Communities and authors have
customized the LateX to give standrds.
 AmTex American Mathematical Scoiety
LaTex
 RevTex : American Physical Scociety Latex
 VTex Earlier DOS Version


Getting Started
 Organization of a LaTex Document
Header --- Preamble---Body
Every LaTex document must contain
the following three entities. Every
thing else is optional.
1. \documentclass{classtype}
2. \begin{document}
3. \end{document}
Get Going with LaTex...
 Class type to process is article, report, book,
letter or any other customizable class like thesis,
question etc.,
 Good nos. of LaTex Front-end IDEs are
available, pick one after testing each.
 ‘’Kile IDE” ( I Like it ). You may choose any.
 A Linux based PC/ Laptop having any Linux based
OS (I preferred Fedora) installed, the following
commands will completely installed the IDEs

Finally..To LaTeX not To LaTeX

The LaTex Frontend and others
Installing in the Computer……………..
 Login as root and at the # prompt, with net connection,
execute the following commands one after the other.
 #yum install latex*
 #yum install tex*
 #yum install tetex*
 #yum install texlive*
 #yum install kile*
 #yum install lyx*
Once the software installation is complete, you are ready to
work with any of the latex front-ends to prepare a latex
document.
Preparing your first Document
 Your Desktop/ Laptop being installed with

fedora linux distribution and If you are using
the GNOME Desktop, from the all software
list locate the kile icon and add to your
favorites by right clicking and then accepting
by left clicking.
 Click on the kile icon from the left most
column of favourites to open the application
as shown below.
Kile, a brief introduction

Starting a new document using a predefined or
custom made template (Menu: File->New).
Starting a new document using a predefined

or custom made template (Menu: File->New).

Starting a new document using a predefined or
custom made template (Menu: Wizard->Quick Start).

After typing the first few characters of a (La)TeX
command, Kile can complete the command for you. The
behavior of this autocomplete feature is fully
configurable in Settings->Configure Kile->Complete.

There are keyboard shortcuts to select, delete
environments, paragraphs, TeX blocks. You can
even let Kile complete an "open" environment.

All the files in your project are scanned for labels
and references. You can use this by pressing Ctrl-Space
after typing \ref{ or \cite{. This feature works best
if your files belong to a project.

Easy insertion of difficult-to-remember LaTeX
symbols.

LaTeX command library for most
of the common commands

The results are clear and cleaner presentation.
Just click on the error or warning to jump to the location that
caused the problem

The structure view gives you an overview of
the structure of your document. Click on the
a section header in this view to jump to the
location of this section in your document.

The "Project & Files" view show the currently opened files and
projects. The projects are shown as a hierarchal tree of all the
files in your project. The allows you to easily navigate between
files in your project

In the "Project Options" dialog you can fine-tune the
settings for your project. For example, you might need
a different QuickBuild command for your project.

Kile can quickly create a tarball of your project
.

Edit, add or remove LaTeX tools at your will. The build
system can be completely reconfigured to meet your
needs.

To maximize your editing window the side and bottom
bars can be minimized. Also, there is a special full-
screen mode accessible through the View menu.

Place the cursor in a LaTex keyword and select Help->Context Help.
Kile will look up the relevant section in the TeX documentation. In
Settings->Configure Kile->Help you can choose between using the
brief LaTex reference or the more extended local TeX help system.
