This document provides an overview of LaTeX, a document preparation system for high-quality typesetting. It discusses that LaTeX is a document markup language that uses tags and commands to control formatting rather than a WYSIWYG interface. The document then demonstrates how to write a basic LaTeX document, including adding sections, figures, tables, equations, and citations. It also discusses including multiple chapters from separate files in the main LaTeX file.

What is LaTeX?

 TEX is a document programming language, created to


typeset documents attractively and consistently

 Today widely used for publications


 You can't see the final result straight away.
 Everything is controlled with written commands.
The document is written in a self-chosen text editor
and saved in a .tex-file.

LATEX converts .tex-file into a .pdf-file.


Advantages:
 The layout, fonts, tables etc. are consistent
throughout.
 Mathematical formulae can be easily typeset.
 Indexes, footnotes and references are generated
easily.
Why use LaTeX?
 It looks pretty (compare with MS Word)
 If you want to write articles you "need"
to use LaTeX
 If you want to write a thesis you "need"
to use LaTeX anyway

You need
 A computer with Windows (or Linux or
another operating system)
 LaTeX iteself
- there are many versions
 Editor (where you type the "code")
 A program to view pdf-files (and maybe
ps-files)
