\section{Introduction}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Name of the game}
  \begin{description}
    \item[\TeX]{typesetting system developed by
        \textsc{Donald E. Knuth} (Stanford University) to
        create beautiful documents, especially those
        containing maths. \TeX\ is free software with
        copyright vested in the American Mathematical
        Society.}
    \item[\LaTeX]{\TeX -macroprocessor written by \textsc{Leslie
        Lamport}, which implements a markup-language (similar: HTML, XML). Users can
        concentrate on the structure of their document rather than on
        formatting.}
  \end{description}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Typographic design}
  \begin{itemize}
    \item{craft that needs to be learned}
    \item{not about esthetics but about function: Books are
        read, not displayed in a museum}
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\subsection{Advantages and disadvantages}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Advantages}
  \begin{itemize}
     \item{Several professional styles are available that
         make documents look ``like printed''. Changing
         style requires changing one single line in the
         document, consistency is ensured.}
     \item{High quality math typesetting}
     \item{Only a few commands to define the structure of
         text, no knowledge of typography or book design
         required.}
     \item{Complex scientific documents can be created
         automatically:
         \begin{itemize}
           \item{bibliography}
           \item{index}
           \item{crossreferences}
           \item{table of contents, lists of figures,
               tables etc.}
           \item{...}
         \end{itemize} }
     \item{Operating-system independent}
     \item{Long-term storage of documents: ASCII rather
         than binary}
     \item{Free software with source code available: Errors
         are corrected rapidly}
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Disadvantages}
  \begin{itemize}
    \item{Learning curve}
    \item{Major changes in layout may require rewriting the
        style file (blessing in disguise)}
    \item{One gets an eye for all the bad documents out
        there}
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

        paragraphs and paragraphs pages}

\section{Basic commands}

\subsection{Special characters}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Input characters}
  Some characters have special meaning in \TeX , if you need
  them they have to be entered as \TeX -commands:

  \vspace{5mm}
  \begin{tabular}{lll}
    $\backslash$~~   & start command        & {\color{darkgreen}\verb+$\backslash$+}    \\
                     &                      & note: {\color{darkgreen}\verb+\\+} = newline \\
    \$               & toggle math modus    & {\color{darkgreen}\verb+\$+}              \\
    \&               & tabulator            & {\color{darkgreen}\verb+\&+}              \\
    \%               & rest of line comment & {\color{darkgreen}\verb+\%+}              \\
    \#               &                      & {\color{darkgreen}\verb+\#+}              \\
    \textasciitilde  &                      & {\color{darkgreen}\verb+\textasciitilde+} \\
    \textbar         & vert. lines in table & {\color{darkgreen}\verb+\textbar+}        \\
    \_               & start subscript      & {\color{darkgreen}\verb+\_+}              \\
    \textasciicircum & start superscript    & {\color{darkgreen}\verb+\textasciicircum+}\\
    \{ \}            & command delimiter    & {\color{darkgreen}\verb+\{ \}+}           \\
    $[\ ]$           & optional arguments   & {\color{darkgreen}\verb+$[ ]$+}           \\

  \end{tabular}
\end{frame}

\subsection{Hypens \& Cie}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Hypen, minus ...}
  A horizontal line can mean a lot of things, depending on
  length and thickness:

  \vspace{5mm}
  \begin{tabular}{lll}
    O-legs           & {\color{darkgreen}\verb+O-legs+}           \\
    10--18 o'clock   & {\color{darkgreen}\verb+10--18 o'clock+}   \\
    ja -- oder nein? & {\color{darkgreen}\verb+ja -- oder nein?+} \\
    yes---or no?     & {\color{darkgreen}\verb+yes---or no?+}     \\
    0, 1 and --1     & {\color{darkgreen}\verb+0, 1 and --1+}     \\
  \end{tabular}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Breaking down large documents}
  Use separate files for, say, each chapter. One main file with
  limbo and commands to include the others:
  \begin{description}
    \item[{\color{darkgreen}$\backslash$input\{\}}]{reads file ``as is''}
    \item[{\color{darkgreen}$\backslash$include\{\}}]{equiv. to

\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
\setlength{\parskip}{5pt plus 2pt minus 1pt}
\addtolength{\textwidth}{60pt}
    \end{verbatim}}

    Set counters:
    {\color{darkgreen}\begin{verbatim}
\setcounter{page}{0}
\addtocounter{page}{10}
    \end{verbatim}}

    Output counter content: This is page \thepage.\\

\section{Specialties}

\subsection{The index}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Indexing commands}
  \begin{description}
    \item[simple]{\color{darkgreen}\verb+gnat\index{gnat}+}
    \item[subtopics]{\color{darkgreen}\verb+gnat\index{gnat!size of}+}
    \item[page range]{\color{darkgreen}\verb+\index{gnat|(}...\index{gnat|)}+}
    \item[reference]{\color{darkgreen}\verb+\index{gnat|see{mosquito}}+}
    \item[font]{\color{darkgreen}\verb+gnat\index{gnat@\textit{gnat}}+}
  \end{description}
  After first \LaTeX\ run, start \alert{makeindx} to sort the index.
\end{frame}

\subsection{List of acronyms}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Acronyms}
  Assume the following list of acronyms:
  {\color{darkgreen}\begin{verbatim}
\begin{acronym}
  \acro{nfkb}[NF-\textkappa B]{nuclear factor
     \textkappa B}, protein in gene regulation
\end{acronym}
  \end{verbatim}}
  This will print as\\
  NF-\textkappa B: nuclear factor \textkappa B, protein in gene regulation

  Then
  \begin{description}
    \item[{\color{darkgreen}$\backslash$acf\{nfkb\}}]{nuclear factor \textkappa B (NF-\textkappa B)}
    \item[{\color{darkgreen}$\backslash$acs\{nfkb\}}]{NF-\textkappa B}
    \item[{\color{darkgreen}$\backslash$acl\{nfkb\}}]{nuclear factor \textkappa B}
  \end{description}
\end{frame}

\subsection{Bibliography}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{BibTeX}
  Database for literature references in ASCII-format. Can be
  produced from many programs like \texttt{EndNote} or \texttt{RefMan}, also from \href{http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/}{\texttt{\alert{PubMed}}}, \href{http://scholar.google.com/advanced_scholar_search?hl=en&as_sdt=2000}{\texttt{\alert{Google Scholar}}} (set preferences!) etc.
  {\color{darkgreen}\small \begin{verbatim}
@article{Alb-76,
  AUTHOR= {W.J. Albery and J.R. Knowles},
  TITLE= {Evolution of enzyme function and the
    development of catalytic efficiency},
  JOURNAL= {Biochemistry},
  VOLUME= {15},
  YEAR= {1976},
  PAGES= {5631-5640},
  ABSTRACT= {Catalytic efficiency constant kcat/Km
    defined },
  DOI= {10.1021/bi00670a032},
  LANGUAGE= {engl}
}
  \end{verbatim} }
  Similar for books, chapters, reports, thesis etc. In the text
  use {\color{darkgreen}$\backslash$cite\{Alb-76\}}. After first \LaTeX
  -run start \alert{bibtex} to create the bibliography.
\end{frame}

\subsection{Slide presentations}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Beamer-slides}
  {\color{darkgreen}$\backslash$begin\{frame\} \\
  \hspace{2em}$\backslash$frametitle\{\} \\
  \hspace{2em}... \\
  $\backslash$end\{frame\}}
\end{frame}

\subsection{TeX-ing}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{\TeX ing}
  Always use the sequence:
  \begin{description}
    \item[\LaTeX]{produces the necessary intermediate
        files}
    \item[makeindx]{sort the index}
    \item[bibtex]{create the bibliography}
    \item[\LaTeX]{include bibliography and index, resolve
        cross-references}
    \item[\LaTeX]{resolve remaining cross-references}
  \end{description}
  Note: using pdf\LaTeX\ instead of \LaTeX\ produces pdf-files
  directly.
