            About Tex & LaTeX

   What is TeX?
   What is LaTeX?
   Advantages - Disadvantages
               Text in LaTeX
   latex special characters
    ( % $ # & _ { } \ \textbackslash)

   latex commands:
    “\” + begin {command}
    “\” + end {command}
            or
    “\” + command { applied text }
      (one space before (optional) and after command)
   comments : %comments
      Starting a document:
Preamble:
             Define Document Class :
          \documentclass[options]{type}

Options: 11pt, 12pt…
 Type : article, report, book, letter, slides

  (The declaration of the user packages takes place
  between the preamble and the body of the .tex
  source file)
                  Body:
      (document environment)

\begin{document}
  .
  .
  .
\end{document}
        All that follows here is ignored.
           Plain Text

Empty spaces are ignored and are taken
as one space.
                   Paragraph
   (empty line) starts new paragraph
   \newline or \\ or \linebreak (justifies old line)
   \newpage or \pagebreak (justifies last line)
   \bigskip
   \medskip
   \smallskip
   \noindent \indent
   \centerline{Text-line centered }
   \begin{x}
    .
    .
    .
    \end{x}
    x : center, flushleft, flushright
    default: justified

   Put the “~” symbol or “\nolinebreak” between
    words that you don’t want them to be
    separated..
   \textbf{BoldFace text}
   \textit{Italic text}
   \underline{Underlined text}
   \textsc{SmallCapitals text}
   \texttt{Typewriter text}
   One can go into the other, e.g. BoldItalic
    \textbf{\textit{text in BoldItalic}} etc.
Text Size    Spacing and Dots

   \tiny     \ldots
   \small    \dots
   \large    \dotfill
   \Large    \hrulefill
   \LARGE
   \huge
   \Huge
 FrameBox
 Lists (enumerate – itemize)
 Greek: you have to include user package. In
  order to include English text within the greek,
  you have to write: \textlatin{English text}.
    Mathematical expressions
                     $ math mode $
    (also for simple alphabet letters that you want
     to use as math symbols.)

   Symbols
Other :
 superscript : $a^n$ or for more, $a^{2+6}$
 subscript: $a_b$ or for more $a_{2+6}$


   $\overline{x} $
   $\frac{numerator}{denominator} $
   $\sqrt{x} $
   $\overbrace{ x + y bla bla y } $
   $\underbrace{ x + y bla bla y } $
              Making Tables
\begin{tabular}{ | c r | l | } \hline
row1 cell1 & row1 cell2 & row1 cell3 \\ \hline
row2 cell1 & row2 cell2 & row2 cell3 \\ \hline
row3 cell1 & row3 cell2 & row3 cell3 \\
row4 cell1 & row4 cell2 & row4 cell3 \\ \hline
row5 cell1 & row5 cell2 & row5 cell3 \\
\end{tabular}
               Matrix
\[ \left[ \begin{array}{rrrrrrrrrrrrrr}
1&1&1&1    & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
1&1&1&1    & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
1&1&1&1    & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
1&1&1&1    & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
1&1&1&1    & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
0&0&0&0    & 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
0&0&0&0    & 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
0&0&0&0    & 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
0&0&0&0    & 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
0&0&0&0    & 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
0&0&0&0    & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\
0&0&0&0    & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\
0&0&0&0    & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\
\end{array} \right] \]
Result :
                        ParBox
                   \parbox[t]{4in}{Text}

\begin{tabular}{ | c r | l | } \hline
row1 cell1 & row1 cell2 & \parbox[t]{4in}{\begin{center} row1
   cell3
\end{center}} \\ \hline
row2 cell1 & row2 cell2 & row2 cell3 \\ \hline
row3 cell1 & row3 cell2 & row3 cell3 \\
row4 cell1 & row4 cell2 & row4 cell3 \\ \hline
row5 cell1 & row5 cell2 & row5 cell3 \\
\end{tabular}         The third column’s width is now 4 inches.
Result :
                 Tabbing

…lets you set your own column Tabs :

Commands :

 \= : to define a Tab setting
 \> : to move to a Tab setting
 \\ : ends each Row
                       example :
\begin{tabbing} \= \hspace*{.1in} \= \hspace*{.3in} \=
  \kill
\> a)
\> \> Find the powersets and the cardinal numbers of the
following Sets : \\
\> \> \> A = \O , \\
\> \> \> B = \{0,1\} , \\
\> \> \> C = \{1,\{2\}\}, \\
\> \> \> D = \{$x | x = \{ y | y > 0 \wedge y < 4 \} \wedge |x| = 1
   \wedge y \in N$\}, \\
\> \> \> E = $C \cap D$ \\
\end{tabbing}
Result :
Sometimes we do not want to have the longest portion of text first, yet it is
needed to define the tab. The above figure illustrates how this is solved with
the \kill command. In the first tabbing, the lines are in the order we want,but
the tab is set by the shorter string „1-3‟, making „4-6-8‟ extend past the tab.
The second tabbing puts the longer field first, in order to set the tab correctly,
then specifies \kill instead of \\ to suppress (or “kill”) the printing of the line.
             Insert Pictures
            \usepackage{graphicx}

In text: \includegraphics{ picture.eps }
               Only .eps format!!!

We think that the best EPS produces is Corel.

              Thank you Nenad 
