%
% Acknowledgments
%
% Thanks to all those on c.t.t whose suggestions made this version more
% useful. 
%
% Alan Munn for the distinction between base font and font package and
% for suggesting ``expected functionality'' packages on sectioning,
% long tables, headers, and double spacing, and links to FAQ and CTAN.
%
% Lars Madsen, Will Robertson, Robin Fairbairns and others for asking
% for the center environment in tables and figures to be replaced with
% the \centering command (I still disagree, but WTF :-)
%
% Tsy for spotting a typo in the table code sample.
%
% Rob Felty and Domink Wass for pointing me at Winston Chang's
% excellent LaTeX Cheat Sheet summary.
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
% This is laid out for A5 pages with margins optimised for my HP K7100
% so that I can impose two pages per A4 sheet and print double-sided.
% It has not been tested at letterpaper size (and may not fit).
%
\documentclass[a5paper]{article}
%
% The 12mm margin is needed because my printer cannot print the
% bottom 12mm of a sheet, so if I print 2-up A5 pages on an A4
% sheet, I need to allow for the fact that one edge of two of the
% pages must have a 12mm margin -- so it's preferable to make it
% the same all round.

\title{The very short guide to typesetting with~\LaTeX}
\author{Silmaril Consultants\\
  \textbf{Textual Therapy Division}\\
  \protect\url{latex.silmaril.ie}}
\date{\monthdate}
\maketitle

\subsection{What's this all about? What's \LaTeX?}

\LaTeX\ is a document preparation system for the \TeX\ typesetting
program. It enables you to produce publication-quality output with
great accuracy and consistency. \LaTeX\ works on any computer and
produces industry-standard PDF or PS documents. It is available both
in free (open-source) and commercial implementations. \LaTeX\ can be
used for any kind of document, but it is especially suited to those
with a complex structure, repetitive formatting, or notations like
mathematics\footnote{For reasons of space this guide does not cover
  details of mathematics typesetting.}; or where technical stability,
dimensional accuracy, or a persistent and non-proprietary file format
are needed. Install the free software from
\url{www.tug.org/texlive/} or buy a commercially-supported
version from one of the vendors (see
back page).

\subsection{Creating and typesetting your document}

\begin{enumerate}[noitemsep]\setlength{\fboxsep}{1pt}
   \item Create your document using any suitable plain-text editor
     with \LaTeX\ controls, eg \textit{\TeX shop} (Mac), \textit{\TeX
       nicCenter} (Win), \textit{Kile} (Linux), \textit{Emacs} (all),
     even \textit{vi}\thinspace!
   \item Save the file with a name ending in \verb+.tex+
     (\emph{never} use spaces in filenames!);
   \item Use the toolbar buttons or menu items in your editor to typeset
     and display the document (you need \textit{Acrobat Reader} or
     similar to display the PDF output);\label{typeset}
   \item Make any changes needed in your original document and repeat
     step \ref{typeset}. 
\end{enumerate}


\subsection{Syntax (how to type \LaTeX\ commands --- these are the rules)}

\begin{itemize}[noitemsep]
  \item \textbf{All \LaTeX\ commands begin with a backslash}.\\
    \example \verb+\tableofcontents+\endexample
  \item \textbf{If a command needs text to work
    with (an `argument'), it goes in curly braces}.\\
    \example \verb+\title{Irisches Tagebuch}\author{Heinrich Böll}+\endexample
  \item \textbf{If options are used, they go in square brackets first,
  before the curly braces}.\\
    \example \verb+\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{book}+\endexample
  \item \textbf{Spaces after commands \emph{without} braces get suppressed}.\\
    \example \verb+Copyright \copyright␣+\texttt{\number\year} 
    \gives{Copyright \raisebox{1pt}\copyright \number\year}~\nobox\\
    To prevent this, put empty curly braces after the command.\\
    \example \verb+Copyright \copyright{}␣+\texttt{\number\year} 
    \gives{Copyright \raisebox{1pt}\copyright{} \number\year}~\yesbox
  \item \textbf{Curly braces are also used to restrict the scope of
    effects inside them}.\\
    \example \verb+Some {\tiny little} word+ \gives{Some {\tiny little} word}
\end{itemize}

\begin{note}
This guide shows only a tiny fraction of \LaTeX's power. For more
information, visit the \TeX\ Users Group site (\url{www.tug.org}). For
help, see the FAQ (\url{www.tex.ac.uk/faq}) and the Usenet newsgroup
\url{comp.text.tex}. For packages, use the Comprehensive \TeX\ Archive
Network (\url{www.ctan.org}). For documentation, use the sources in
the \textit{References} [2].
\end{note}

\begin{multicols}{2}\small\parskip4pt

\subsubsection{Basic document structure}

Here's the skeleton of a \LaTeX\ document. These three lines are
\emph{compulsory}: your document will not work without them:

\begin{Verbatim}[frame=single,fontsize=\small,commandchars=!<>]
\documentclass{article}
!comment your Preamble goes here (extra setups, if any)
\begin{document}
!comment your document text goes here
\end{document}
\end{Verbatim}

\begin{itemize}[noitemsep]
  \item The document class name must be one of the standard \verb+book+,
    \verb+article+, or \verb+report+, or one of the many extras
    preinstalled or downloadable (eg
    \verb+thesis+, \verb+memoir+, etc).
  \item There are paper size options \verb+a4paper+
    (210\thinspace mm$\times$297\thinspace mm) and \verb+letterpaper+
    (8\nicefrac12$''\times$11$''$) and others (eg \verb+a5paper+).
  \item There are body type size options \verb+10pt+ (the default),
    \verb+11pt+, and \verb+12pt+.
\end{itemize}
New material introduced in each example is shown below
in {\ttfamily\added blue}; previous material in black.

\subsubsection{Front matter}

The \textbf{Preamble} is where you specify any extra \textbf{packages}
(\LaTeX\ plugins) such as typefaces or special formatting
requirements, and where you put any changes to standard features.

\begin{Verbatim}[frame=single,fontsize=\small,commandchars=!<>]
\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{book}
!added\usepackage{charter,graphicx}!revert
!added\setlength{\parindent}{1em}!revert
\begin{document}
!added\title!comment{your document title!revert}
!added\author!comment{your name!revert}
!added\date!comment{date of publication!revert}
!added\maketitle
!added\begin{abstract}
!comment the paragraphs of your abstract go here
!added\end{abstract}
!added\tableofcontents
!comment the text of your document goes here
\end{document}
\end{Verbatim}

In a typical document, the title, author, date, abstract
(summary), and table of contents (optional) all go at the start,
followed by your text. 

Leave a blank line between paragraphs as you type. To \LaTeX, this
means `start a new paragraph', \emph{not} `leave a blank line'. You
can control spacing and indentation by setting \verb+\parskip+ and
\verb+\parindent+ with the \verb+\setlength+ command as in the
previous example, or with the \textsf{parskip}
package.

\subsubsection{Sections and cross-references}

Sections get numbered automatically in bold type, and get included in
the Table of Contents (if any). Numbering can be turned off
selectively. Section heading layout can be modified with the
\textsf{sectsty}, \mbox{\textsf{titlesec}}, and other packages. Use
the \textsf{babel} package for other languages.

\begin{Verbatim}[frame=single,fontsize=\small,commandchars=!<>]
!comment (Preamble, titling, and abstract as above)
!added\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}
\tableofcontents
!added\chapter!comment{heading of a chapter!revert}
!comment text for the chapter goes here
!added...as shown in section \ref{blah}.
!added\section!comment{heading of a section!revert}
!added\label{blah} !comment make up name for the label
!comment text for the section goes here
!added\chapter!comment{heading of a new chapter!revert}
!comment text for the new chapter goes here
\end{document}
\end{Verbatim}

For cross-references, use \verb+\label{...}+ to label the target 
and \verb+\ref{...}+ and/or \verb+\pageref{...}+ to refer to
it. Make up the label values: \LaTeX\ will use them to work
out the right numbers to print.\\
\example{...\ttfamily section \verb+\ref{blah}+ on p.\\
\verb+\pageref{blah}+.}\gives{...section 3 on p.9}.

\subsubsection{Typefaces}

\LaTeX's default typeface is Computer Modern. There is a selection of
other typeface packages (use them in your Preamble):

{\footnotesize\tabcolsep4pt
\def\ff#1{\fontfamily{#1}\selectfont}
\begin{tabular}{@{}l@{\hspace{6pt}}>{\ttfamily}l|l@{\hspace{6pt}}>{\ttfamily}l@{}}
\ff{ptm}Times&mathptmx&\ff{pcr}Courier&courier\\
\ff{ppl}Palatino&mathpazo&\ff{pag}\scriptsize Avant Garde&avant\\
\ff{pbk}Bookman&bookman&\ff{phv}Helvetica&helvet\\
\ff{bch}Charter&charter&\ff{pzc}Zapf Chancery&chancery\\
\ff{put}Utopia&utopia&\fontencoding{OT1}\ff{pnr}Pandora&pandora\\
\ff{pnc}Century&newcent&\fontencoding{U}\ff{yfrak}Fraktur&oldgerm\\
\end{tabular}
}

See each package's documentation for details.

\columnbreak\parskip5pt

Dozens of others are available, including mathematical and decorative
fonts.  To switch to a sans-serif type family (eg Helvetica, Avant
Garde), use \verb+\sffamily+ in your text. To change font for a word
or phrase, use these commands (they can be nested---see below):

{\small
\begin{tabular}{l@{\enspace}>{\ttfamily\char'134 text}l<{\char'173
      Hello\char'175}@{}>{\ \gives\bgroup}l<{\ Hello\egroup}}
Italics&it&\itshape\\
Boldface&bf&\bfseries\\
Smallcaps&sc&\scshape\\
Sans-serif&sf&\sffamily~~\\
Monospace&tt&\ttfamily\\
\end{tabular}}

\example \verb+\textit{\textbf{\textsf+\linebreak
\verb+{bold italic sans}}}+
\gives{\textit{\textbf{\textsf{bold italic sans}}}}

Font sizing is automatic for titles, headings, and footnotes. There
are some named step-size commands (in points, relative to the base size):

{\small
\begin{tabular}{>{\ttfamily\char'134}lrrr}
normalsize&10&11&12\\\hline\vrule height1.1em width0pt
tiny&5&6&7\\
scriptsize&6&7&8\\
footnotesize&7&8&9\\
small&9&10&11\\
large&11&12&14\\
Large&12&14&17\rlap*\\
LARGE&14&17\rlap*&20\rlap*\\
huge&17\rlap*&20\rlap*&24\rlap*\\
Huge&20\rlap*&24\rlap*&28\rlap*\\
\end{tabular}
\quad
\rotatebox[origin=c]{90}{\scriptsize* sizes rounded here to save space}
}

You can specify an exact size with the \textsf{fix-cm} package and
the command:\\
\verb+  \fontsize{+\texttt{\textit{pp}}\verb+}{+\texttt{\textit{bb}}\verb+}\selectfont+\\
for any point-size (\textit{pp}) on any baseline (\textit{bb}). Enclose the command \emph{and} its applicable text in curly braces
to prevent it affecting the rest of the document. 

For double or 1\nicefrac12 line-spacing
(eg in theses) use the \textsf{setspace} package. You can also use
RGB, CMYK, HTML, and many other
\linebreak colourspaces with the 
\\\textsf{xcolor} package and the\hfil 
\smash{\raisebox{0ex}{\fontfamily{ppl}\selectfont\Huge\quad
\textcolor[HTML]{2F50AD}{G}%
\textcolor[HTML]{B32F17}{o}% 
\textcolor[HTML]{F3C20B}{o}%
\textcolor[HTML]{2F50AD}{g}% 
\textcolor[HTML]{48C847}{l}%
\textcolor[HTML]{B32F17}{e}}}%
% web colour for l was 567122
% web colour for o2 was CAB340
\\\verb+\color{+\texttt{\textit{name}}\verb+}+ command.

For verbatim text, use the \textsf{listings} or
\textsf{fancyvrb} packages, or the \verb+\verb+ command.

\subsubsection{Lists}

There are three basic kinds: \textbf{itemized} lists (bulleted);
\textbf{enumerated} lists (numbered or lettered); and
\textbf{descriptive} lists (topic-and-explanation format). Others are
avaiable on CTAN[5].

\begingroup\tiny
\renewcommand{\labelitemi}{\textbullet}
\leftmargini=2em
\setlength{\tabcolsep}{3pt}
\begin{tabular}{%@{}%
    p{.24\columnwidth}|%
    p{.30\columnwidth}|%
    p{.33\columnwidth}}
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{itemize}
\item 1lb Sugar
\item ½pt Cream
\item Chocolate
\item 2oz Butter
\end{itemize}
\end{verbatim}
&
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Mix together
\item Boil to 112°C
\item Stir and cool
\item Pour into dish
\end{enumerate}
\end{verbatim}
&
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{description}
\item[Fudge] is fun...
\item[Broccoli] sucks...
\item[Exercise] is good
\end{description}
\end{verbatim}
\\\hline
\begin{itemize}[noitemsep]
\item 1lb Sugar
\item ½pt Cream
\item Chocolate
\item 2oz Butter
\end{itemize}
&
\begin{enumerate}[noitemsep]
\item Mix together
\item Boil to 112\textdegree C
\item Stir and cool
\item Pour into dish
\end{enumerate}
&\tiny
\begin{description}[noitemsep]
\item[Fudge] is fun but fattening if made too often.
\item[Broccoli] sucks, period.
\item[Exercise] is good for you if taken daily and not to extremes.
\end{description}
\end{tabular}
\endgroup
You can nest lists inside each other. Use the \textsf{enumitem}
package to control list formatting.

\subsubsection{Tables and figures}

Formal tables and figures will \emph{float} (change position to fit
available space). Use \verb+\caption+ and \verb+\label+ to caption
and label tables and figures.

\begin{Verbatim}[frame=single,fontsize=\footnotesize,commandchars=!<>]
!added\begin{table}
!added\caption{Mean growth rate and intakes 
!added of supplement, milk, and water for 4 
!added diets.}
\label{dietgrowth}\centering
!added\begin{tabular}{|l|r|r|r|r|}\hline
!added&Growth&Supplement&Milk&Water\\
!added Supplement&rate&intake&intake&intake\\
!added&(g/day)&(g/day)&(ml/kg$^{0.75}$)&
!added (ml/kg$^{0.75}$)\\\hline 
!added Lucerne &145&450&10.5&144\\\hline 
!added Sesbania&132&476& 9.2&128\\\hline

!added\end{table}
\end{Verbatim}

None    & 89&  0& 9.8&108\\\hline 
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
Packages like \textsf{longtable} and \textsf{array} can help
with more complex table formats.

\subsubsection{Footnotes, citations, references, and indexes (back matter)}
\setcounter{footnote}{1} 
You do footnotes with a simple command,\footnote{Like this.} see
below.  Citations using BIB\TeX{} (Patashnik, 1988) are easy (see
[2], \char'247 7.4.2), and there are packages for more complex formats for
journals and publishers. You can add indexes with the \verb+\index+
and \verb+\printindex+ commands and the \textsf{makeindex} program.

\begin{Verbatim}[frame=single,fontsize=\footnotesize,commandchars=!<>]
You do footnotes with a simple command,!added\footnote{Like this.}!revert see below. Citations 
using BIB!added\TeX{} \citeauthoryear{oren}!revert are easy (see !added\cite[§7.4.2]{flynn}!revert), and 
there are packages for more complex formats for journals and publishers. You can 
add  indexes with the !added\verb`\index`!revert and !added\verb`\printindex`!revert commands and the 
!added\textsf{makeindex}!revert program. 
!added\bibliography{myrefs} \bibliographystyle{apalike} !comment (see BIB!TeX manual [3] for details)
\end{Verbatim}
