• The Indian TeX Users Group provides excellent resources.
• The Definitive Guide for LaTeX  : LaTeX User's Guide and Reference Manual : Leslie Lamport. Addison Wesley Publications. 1994. (Indian reprint available under Pearson Education Asia).
• Alternative guides for LaTeX.
• The LaTeX Companion : Goosens, Mittelbach, and Samarin. Addison Wesley Publications. 1994.

• The Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN)
• Almost all packages available in common Linux distributions.
• Two excellent tutorials on beamer: tutorial by Rouben Rostamian , and slides by Charles Batts .
• ps2eps and ps2epsi are useful converters. (I have added extension "txt" to "ps2epsi" so that the broswer preseves line breaks.)
• Slides used in the lecture :   Source file and the generated pdf file. These slides use package pst-rel-points along with the default pstricks package.
• Slides by Charles Batts that we used to illustrate the creation of overlays.
• Some sample source files: sample_text1.tex , sample_graph1.tex .
• The TeX cookbook containing a list of math and common commands and hints for typesetting math formulae.
• The latex font catalogue . A collection of many not-so-common but very useful fonts.
• There are two versions of pstricks manuals and they are by the same author :-). This earlier version is a logically complete version but it does not have commands for trees.  This other version seems to have additional commands for trees but some other pages are missing .
• Package pst-rel-points for relative coordinates in pstricks . (Hoping to make a short manual available soon.) Here's a two-pager.
• Package flexiprogram for formatting programs
• Package pst-chem-formula for typesetting chemical formulae.  And here's two-pager.
• A document illustrating some finer aspects of typeseeting using LaTeX. (Written by Prof. Soumen Chakrabarty .)

Sample Latex Files :

I am distributing sample Latex files for the Report, Slides and Paper in one column and two column format. It will help you in your documentation in Latex .

• Latex files for Report writing:

                    For writing reports, we can make a latex file can be considered as main file which takes input from other files. The format of this Latex file is given here ( Download ). It takes inputs from various files like for an Abstract , it will take input from file abstract.tex . For chapters it will take input from different Latex files meant for that chapter only. For an example, the command \input{Algorithm.tex} will take input from file Algorithm.tex . For taking input from files, there is a command included in main Latex file. This command may be either \input{File_Name.tex} or \include{File_Name} . For an examplem, my Latex main file takes abstract.tex , Introduction.tex , Parallel.tex , Implementation_Details.tex , Performance.tex , Algorithm.tex , FutureWork.tex , acknow.tex and ref.tex . These Latex files need some other files like figures ( fig1.ps , fig2.ps , fig3.ps , fig4.ps , fig5.ps , fig6.ps , fig7.ps , arch.ps , lgrain.ps and iitlogo1.ps ) and other files ( iitblogo.mf and iitblogo.tfm ).  The main Latex file (here in this case is Report.tex ) can be compiled by giving following command:

                     latex Main_file_name.tex

and it generates a file named as Main_file_name.dvi . By using this, we can produce postscript file by giving the following command on the command prompt:

                    dvips -o Main_file_name.ps Main_file_name.dvi

For my files, I issued the command latex Report.tex . It generated a file named as Report.dvi . Using this file, a postscript file Report.ps was produced by using following command:

                    dvips -o Report.ps Report.dvi

Thus, I generated the postscript file of my report using the above given procedure. For an example purpose, I am giving postscript file of my report ( Download ).

NOTE : Please compile latex file two times so that the list of figures, list of tables and table of content can be appeared in main postscript file.

For beginners : Copy all the Latex files (having an extension tex ) and files having extensions tfm and mf  in a directory. Now, change the text of the Latex files at all the places you want. Now compile it using the above defined procedure and generate postscript file. You can view this postscript file using Ghostview in the following way:

                    gv File_Name.ps

    e.g. gv Report.ps

You can also view the file having an extension dvi by using xdvi shown below:

                    xdvi File_Name.dvi

    e.g. xdvi Report.dvi

• Latex file for Slides Preparation

                      For preparing slides for the presentation, one can use and modify the sample template file ( Download ). During compilation of this template Latex file, it is required to have these files also ( fig1.ps , fig2.ps , fig3.ps , fig4.ps , fig5.ps , fig6.ps , fig7.ps , arch.ps , lgrain.ps and iitlogo1.ps ). The final postscript file look like this one ( Download ). Compilation method is same as that described in previous section. For generating colour slides in postscript format, a sample template file ( Download ) is given. One can study this and change it according to one's need. The files needed during compilation of this colour template file are  iitlogo1.ps , Multidec.ps , original.ps , part.ps , part1.ps and part2.ps . You can compile the template file with the files needed and then view the postscript file using GhostView. You are also suggested to do some experiments with the template file to understand the usage of commands.

• Latex file for writing article in one column format

                    For writing an article in one column format, one can use and modify the sample template file ( Download ). It requires Multidecomp.ps and fig6.ps during compilation. The title page of the article is also given ( Download ). The postscripts of the article ( Download ) and title page ( Download ) are also given. One can study the template file of the article and know about how to prepare an article in one column format.

• Latex file for writing article in two column format

                    For writing an article in two column format, one can use and modify the sample template file ( Download ). It requires Multidecomp.ps and fig6.ps during compilation. The postscripts of the article ( Download ) is also given. One can study the template file of the article and know about how to prepare an article in two column format. It may be asked when writing an article in two column format that the two columns on the last page should be of equal length. How to do this? One can do this by modifying the last Latex file fed to the main Latex file or the last section in an article. Here in this template file, the last section used is References. Thus, I made changes in the section References . I used Bibtex to generate bibliography. Thus, I did changes in file name having an extension bbl . Here it is hpcPaper2Col.bbl . The modified file is hpcPaper2ColMod.bbl . The changes introduced to the hpcPaper2Col.bbl file is putting \vspace*{6.5in} and \ pagebreak at the appropriate place. Here it is noted that the size field ( 6.5in ) in \vspace*{6.5in} command can be changed according to the need. You can adjust size field parameter in the way you want. If there is only one Latex file having all the documentation then these commands can be put in between the text of the last section at an appropriate place.

                        In two column format, page wide figures and page wide tables can also be incorporated using the \begin{figure*} and \begin{table*} invironment. A detailed help is given in the section Online Help .

LaTeX, a document preparation system, is widely used for publishing in many scientific fields like mathematics, statistics, computer science, engineering, chemistry, physics, economics, linguistics, etc.. It is a powerful and open-source system that provides numerous facilities for automating typesetting of the document: i.e. structuring page layout, listing and auto-numbering of sections, tables, figures, generating a table of contents, managing cross-referencing, citing, and indexing.

Unlike other WYSIWYG editors, the content is written in plain text along with appropriate commands, thus, allowing the user to concentrate on the content rather than the aesthetics (the way it looks). The TeX typesetting program which LaTeX uses, was designed such that anyone can create good quality material with less efforts.

This course introduces the basic concepts of LaTeX. Participants taking this course will be able to create and design documents in LaTeX and presentations in Beamer with confidence.

Course content

In this course you will learn to:

• Handle different types of documents
• Organize documents into different sections, subsections, etc..
• Formatting pages (margins, header, footer, orientation)
• Formatting text
• Write complex mathematical formulae
• Include tables and images
• Cross-referencing, bibliography, and Indexing
• Read error messages as and when required
• Create presentations using Beamer

The detailed description is given below:

Topic 1: Introduction

This topic introduces the learner to LaTeX, its installation, and different IDEs. The learner creates the first document using LaTeX, organizes content into sections using articles and book class of LaTeX.

Topic 2: Styling Pages

In this topic, the session starts by reviewing different paper sizes, examines packages, formats the page by setting margins, customizing header and footer, changing the page orientation, dividing the document into multiple columns. The topic ends with reading different types of error messages.

Topic 3: Formatting Content

This topic concentrates on formatting text (styles, size, alignment), adding colors to text and entire page, and adding bullets and numbered items. It concludes by explaining the process of writing complex mathematics.

Topic 4: Tables and Images

The topic starts by creating basic tables, adding simple and dashed borders, merging rows and columns, and handling situations where a table exceeds the size of a page. The sessions then continue to add an image, explore different properties like rotate, scale, etc..

Topic 5: Referencing and Indexing

In this topic, the learner learns to add cross-referencing (refer to sections, table, images), add bibliography (references), and create back index.

Topic 6: Presentation using Beamer

Introduction to creating slides, adding frames, dividing the slide into multiple columns, adding different blocks, etc..
