Hello, and welcome to getting started
|
|
|
|
2
|
|
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,960
|
|
with LaTeX. This tutorial will walk you
|
|
|
|
3
|
|
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,160
|
|
through creating your first document
|
|
|
|
4
|
|
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:12,800
|
|
using the LaTeX
|
|
|
|
5
|
|
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:14,719
|
|
system. Alright, so what is LaTeX? LaTeX
|
|
|
|
6
|
|
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,680
|
|
is a typesetting system commonly used
|
|
|
|
7
|
|
00:00:14,719 --> 00:00:18,640
|
|
for technical and scientific
|
|
|
|
8
|
|
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,640
|
|
documents. It's widely used throughout
|
|
|
|
9
|
|
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:23,199
|
|
the world of academia specifically in
|
|
|
|
10
|
|
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,600
|
|
engineering and science fields. This is
|
|
|
|
11
|
|
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:27,920
|
|
due to how easy LaTeX makes it for someone
|
|
|
|
12
|
|
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,960
|
|
to include complex mathematical
|
|
|
|
13
|
|
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,880
|
|
equations, models and more. Most documents
|
|
|
|
14
|
|
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,920
|
|
written in math or physics courses here
|
|
|
|
15
|
|
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:37,360
|
|
at Bucknell are written using
|
|
|
|
16
|
|
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,360
|
|
LaTeX. Throughout this tutorial we'll be
|
|
|
|
17
|
|
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:43,440
|
|
utilizing a free LaTeX editor called
|
|
|
|
18
|
|
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,440
|
|
Overleaf which is available online at
|
|
|
|
19
|
|
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,640
|
|
overleaf.com. All right, so let's set up
|
|
|
|
20
|
|
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:51,280
|
|
an editor. We'll start by going to
|
|
|
|
21
|
|
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,800
|
|
Overleaf and signing in. If you don't
|
|
|
|
22
|
|
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,520
|
|
have an account, register using your
|
|
|
|
23
|
|
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,199
|
|
school provided Google
|
|
|
|
24
|
|
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,960
|
|
account. Once you see this page, click the
|
|
|
|
25
|
|
00:00:57,199 --> 00:01:00,879
|
|
create a new project button and select
|
|
|
|
26
|
|
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,840
|
|
blank project. You'll be sent to the
|
|
|
|
27
|
|
00:01:00,879 --> 00:01:06,000
|
|
Overleaf editor. This is where we'll be
|
|
|
|
28
|
|
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,479
|
|
working on our documents. The editor has
|
|
|
|
29
|
|
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,280
|
|
three main segments: the file selector,
|
|
|
|
30
|
|
00:01:08,479 --> 00:01:12,799
|
|
code editor, and preview pane. When
|
|
|
|
31
|
|
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,640
|
|
editing code, you'll need to hit the
|
|
|
|
32
|
|
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:16,439
|
|
recompile button to see changes on the
|
|
|
|
33
|
|
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,960
|
|
preview
|
|
|
|
34
|
|
00:01:16,439 --> 00:01:21,520
|
|
pane. Let's talk about some commonly used
|
|
|
|
35
|
|
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:23,840
|
|
tags. We begin with the title, author, and
|
|
|
|
36
|
|
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,680
|
|
date tags. These specify important
|
|
|
|
37
|
|
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,479
|
|
information about the document and their
|
|
|
|
38
|
|
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,520
|
|
specifics are
|
|
|
|
39
|
|
00:01:27,479 --> 00:01:31,280
|
|
self-explanatory. Next we have the begin
|
|
|
|
40
|
|
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,000
|
|
tag which tells the compiler to start
|
|
|
|
41
|
|
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,520
|
|
building the document
|
|
|
|
42
|
|
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,600
|
|
itself. The make title tag tells the
|
|
|
|
43
|
|
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:40,200
|
|
compiler to format and display the title
|
|
|
|
44
|
|
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:42,880
|
|
information including the author and the
|
|
|
|
45
|
|
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,479
|
|
date. The section tag signifies the
|
|
|
|
46
|
|
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:48,159
|
|
beginning of a section and produces a
|
|
|
|
47
|
|
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:49,920
|
|
numbered section heading.
|
|
|
|
48
|
|
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:53,520
|
|
Next we'll talk about tags that can be
|
|
|
|
49
|
|
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:57,200
|
|
used to format text. The textbf tag
|
|
|
|
50
|
|
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,759
|
|
makes text appear bold. The textit tag
|
|
|
|
51
|
|
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,360
|
|
makes text appear
|
|
|
|
52
|
|
00:01:58,759 --> 00:02:04,799
|
|
italicized. The underline tag makes text
|
|
|
|
53
|
|
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:06,880
|
|
appear underlined. The emph tag emphasizes a
|
|
|
|
54
|
|
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:09,520
|
|
specific block of text. The appearance of
|
|
|
|
55
|
|
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,360
|
|
this effect depends on the situation. If
|
|
|
|
56
|
|
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,879
|
|
the text being emphasized is within a
|
|
|
|
57
|
|
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:16,080
|
|
block of standard text, it will be
|
|
|
|
58
|
|
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:18,000
|
|
italicized. Otherwise, if that selected
|
|
|
|
59
|
|
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,959
|
|
text block is within other italicized
|
|
|
|
60
|
|
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,920
|
|
text, it will be
|
|
|
|
61
|
|
00:02:19,959 --> 00:02:23,760
|
|
de-italicized. These effects can be
|
|
|
|
62
|
|
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:26,080
|
|
combined within the same line. For
|
|
|
|
63
|
|
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,720
|
|
example, this line of code will italicize
|
|
|
|
64
|
|
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:31,440
|
|
the selected text as well as keep the
|
|
|
|
65
|
|
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,440
|
|
surrounding text
|
|
|
|
66
|
|
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:36,720
|
|
bold. Next we'll talk about displaying
|
|
|
|
67
|
|
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:38,720
|
|
math within a LaTeX document. Math
|
|
|
|
68
|
|
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,440
|
|
equations can be displayed in two modes:
|
|
|
|
69
|
|
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,200
|
|
inline mode and display mode.
|
|
|
|
70
|
|
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,360
|
|
Starting with inline mode, we use the
|
|
|
|
71
|
|
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:48,000
|
|
begin math and end math tags to specify
|
|
|
|
72
|
|
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:50,239
|
|
where an equation is written. This method
|
|
|
|
73
|
|
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,840
|
|
places an equation inline, meaning that
|
|
|
|
74
|
|
00:02:50,239 --> 00:02:54,519
|
|
it will wrap as if it was part of the
|
|
|
|
75
|
|
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:57,120
|
|
paragraph, blending with the surrounding
|
|
|
|
76
|
|
00:02:54,519 --> 00:02:59,120
|
|
text. On the other hand, we can use
|
|
|
|
77
|
|
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,040
|
|
display mode which uses the begin
|
|
|
|
78
|
|
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,840
|
|
equation and end equation tags to
|
|
|
|
79
|
|
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,519
|
|
distinguish equations from text.
|
|
|
|
80
|
|
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,640
|
|
This will display math as if it's its
|
|
|
|
81
|
|
00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:10,480
|
|
own line in a paragraph and can be used
|
|
|
|
82
|
|
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:12,640
|
|
to separate equations from the rest of
|
|
|
|
83
|
|
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,640
|
|
the
|
|
|
|
84
|
|
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:18,000
|
|
text. Now we'll put it all together.
|
|
|
|
85
|
|
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:20,319
|
|
Here's an example of a document, this one
|
|
|
|
86
|
|
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,239
|
|
being the script for this video. Notice
|
|
|
|
87
|
|
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:24,800
|
|
how the title, author, and date tags are
|
|
|
|
88
|
|
00:03:22,239 --> 00:03:26,879
|
|
used as well as the section headers. The
|
|
|
|
89
|
|
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,280
|
|
title, author, and date are formatted in
|
|
|
|
90
|
|
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:30,640
|
|
the center of the page
|
|
|
|
91
|
|
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:33,120
|
|
automatically with text sizes being
|
|
|
|
92
|
|
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:34,640
|
|
decided by the compiler. The section
|
|
|
|
93
|
|
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,879
|
|
headings are automatically numbered and
|
|
|
|
94
|
|
00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:39,599
|
|
bolded and create coherent paragraphs
|
|
|
|
95
|
|
00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:41,680
|
|
with minimal effort. As you can see, the
|
|
|
|
96
|
|
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:43,360
|
|
LaTeX system allows for an author to
|
|
|
|
97
|
|
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,599
|
|
create a document without focusing on
|
|
|
|
98
|
|
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,519
|
|
its formatting as one would see with
|
|
|
|
99
|
|
00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:50,080
|
|
other what-you-see-is-what-you-get
|
|
|
|
100
|
|
00:03:47,519 --> 00:03:53,040
|
|
editors such as Microsoft Word or Google
|
|
|
|
101
|
|
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:55,200
|
|
Docs. Instead, the author can focus on the
|
|
|
|
102
|
|
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,360
|
|
content knowing that the content will be
|
|
|
|
103
|
|
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,599
|
|
presented in a coherent way that makes
|
|
|
|
104
|
|
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,599
|
|
sense to the reader. When you're done
|
|
|
|
105
|
|
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:04,400
|
|
writing the document or making any edits
|
|
|
|
106
|
|
00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:06,319
|
|
to it, you can click the recompile button
|
|
|
|
107
|
|
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,799
|
|
and that will display a preview in the
|
|
|
|
108
|
|
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:10,959
|
|
preview pane. When you want to download
|
|
|
|
109
|
|
00:04:08,799 --> 00:04:12,959
|
|
or export the document, click the
|
|
|
|
110
|
|
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:15,920
|
|
download button next to the recompile
|
|
|
|
111
|
|
00:04:12,959 --> 00:04:19,160
|
|
button. That will export a PDF file and
|
|
|
|
112
|
|
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:22,400
|
|
send it to your downloads
|
|
|
|
113
|
|
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:24,080
|
|
folder. And that's it! Congratulations,
|
|
|
|
114
|
|
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,160
|
|
you've just finished your first LaTeX
|
|
|
|
115
|
|
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,320
|
|
document. I hope you've been able to
|
|
|
|
116
|
|
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,400
|
|
learn from this video and you'll be able
|
|
|
|
117
|
|
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:34,919
|
|
to recreate a LaTeX document whenever
|
|
|
|
118
|
|
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,919
|
|
you need. Thank you for watching.
