(Version of 11 April 1994.) +% +% A '%' character causes TeX to ignore all remaining text on the line, +% and is used for comments like this one. + +\documentclass{article} % Specifies the document class + + % The preamble begins here. +\title{An Example Document} % Declares the document's title. +\author{Leslie Lamport} % Declares the author's name. +\date{January 21, 1994} % Deleting this command produces today's date. + +\newcommand{\ip}[2]{(#1, #2)} + % Defines \ip{arg1}{arg2} to mean + % (arg1, arg2). + +%\newcommand{\ip}[2]{\langle #1 | #2\rangle} + % This is an alternative definition of + % \ip that is commented out. + +\begin{document} % End of preamble and beginning of text. + +\maketitle % Produces the title. + +This is an example input file. Comparing it with +the output it generates can show you how to +produce a simple document of your own. + +\section{Ordinary Text} % Produces section heading. Lower-level + % sections are begun with similar + % \subsection and \subsubsection commands. + +The ends of words and sentences are marked + by spaces. It doesn't matter how many +spaces you type; one is as good as 100. The +end of a line counts as a space. + +One or more blank lines denote the end +of a paragraph. + +Since any number of consecutive spaces are treated +like a single one, the formatting of the input +file makes no difference to + \LaTeX, % The \LaTeX command generates the LaTeX logo. +but it makes a difference to you. When you use +\LaTeX, making your input file as easy to read +as possible will be a great help as you write +your document and when you change it. This sample +file shows how you can add comments to your own input +file. + +Because printing is different from typewriting, +there are a number of things that you have to do +differently when preparing an input file than if +you were just typing the document directly. +Quotation marks like + ``this'' +have to be handled specially, as do quotes within +quotes: + ``\,`this' % \, separates the double and single quote. + is what I just + wrote, not `that'\,''. + +Dashes come in three sizes: an + intra-word +dash, a medium dash for number ranges like + 1--2, +and a punctuation + dash---like +this. + +A sentence-ending space should be larger than the +space between words within a sentence. You +sometimes have to type special commands in +conjunction with punctuation characters to get +this right, as in the following sentence. + Gnats, gnus, etc.\ all % `\ ' makes an inter-word space. + begin with G\@. % \@ marks end-of-sentence punctuation. +You should check the spaces after periods when +reading your output to make sure you haven't +forgotten any special cases. Generating an +ellipsis + \ldots\ % `\ ' is needed after `\ldots' because TeX + % ignores spaces after command names like \ldots + % made from \ + letters. + % + % Note how a `%' character causes TeX to ignore + % the end of the input line, so these blank lines + % do not start a new paragraph. + % +with the right spacing around the periods requires +a special command. + +\LaTeX\ interprets some common characters as +commands, so you must type special commands to +generate them. These characters include the +following: + \$ \& \% \# \{ and \}. + +In printing, text is usually emphasized with an + \emph{italic} +type style. + +\begin{em} + A long segment of text can also be emphasized + in this way. Text within such a segment can be + given \emph{additional} emphasis. +\end{em} + +It is sometimes necessary to prevent \LaTeX\ from +breaking a line where it might otherwise do so. +This may be at a space, as between the ``Mr.'' and +``Jones'' in + ``Mr.~Jones'', % ~ produces an unbreakable interword space. +or within a word---especially when the word is a +symbol like + \mbox{\emph{itemnum}} +that makes little sense when hyphenated across +lines. + +Footnotes\footnote{This is an example of a footnote.} +pose no problem. + +\LaTeX\ is good at typesetting mathematical formulas +like + \( x-3y + z = 7 \) +or + \( a_{1} > x^{2n} + y^{2n} > x' \) +or + \( \ip{A}{B} = \sum_{i} a_{i} b_{i} \). +The spaces you type in a formula are +ignored. Remember that a letter like + $x$ % $ ... $ and \( ... \) are equivalent +is a formula when it denotes a mathematical +symbol, and it should be typed as one. + +\section{Displayed Text} + +Text is displayed by indenting it from the left +margin. Quotations are commonly displayed. There +are short quotations +\begin{quote} + This is a short a quotation. It consists of a + single paragraph of text. See how it is formatted. +\end{quote} +and longer ones. +\begin{quotation} + This is a longer quotation. It consists of two + paragraphs of text, neither of which are + particularly interesting. + + This is the second paragraph of the quotation. It + is just as dull as the first paragraph. +\end{quotation} +Another frequently-displayed structure is a list. +The following is an example of an \emph{itemized} +list. +\begin{itemize} + \item This is the first item of an itemized list. + Each item in the list is marked with a ``tick''. + You don't have to worry about what kind of tick + mark is used. + + \item This is the second item of the list. It + contains another list nested inside it. The inner + list is an \emph{enumerated} list. + \begin{enumerate} + \item This is the first item of an enumerated + list that is nested within the itemized list. + + \item This is the second item of the inner list. + \LaTeX\ allows you to nest lists deeper than + you really should. + \end{enumerate} + This is the rest of the second item of the outer + list. It is no more interesting than any other + part of the item. + \item This is the third item of the list. +\end{itemize} +You can even display poetry. +\begin{verse} + There is an environment + for verse \\ % The \\ command separates lines + Whose features some poets % within a stanza. + will curse. + + % One or more blank lines separate stanzas. + + For instead of making\\ + Them do \emph{all} line breaking, \\ + It allows them to put too many words on a line when they'd rather be + forced to be terse. +\end{verse} + +Mathematical formulas may also be displayed. A +displayed formula +is +one-line long; multiline +formulas require special formatting instructions. + \[ \ip{\Gamma}{\psi'} = x'' + y^{2} + z_{i}^{n}\] +Don't start a paragraph with a displayed equation, +nor make one a paragraph by itself. + +\end{document} % End of document. |
