examples on my web page:

line breaks, page breaks, position of figures &

formatting/layout ● Very good for mathematics & equations ● Automatic numbering & cross-referencing of

- both in the Astronomy reading room

A primer for typesetting equations in LaTeX: http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~dwilkins/LaTeXPrimer/

Durham PhD thesis macros: ~eb/thesisclass.php another example, with useful hints: thesis/sample/

documents – but better to use LaTeX equivalents

How to run LaTeX under Linux/Unix

> latex mypaper.tex

gv (ghostview) ● To produce .ps from .dvi:

> dvipdf mypaper.dvi ● (3) directly from .tex file (output: mypaper.pdf)

● There are programs which can convert your

figures/graphics between different formats,
e.g, .eps to .png e.g. in Linux can use display or

file.tex (latex) -> file.dvi (dvips) -> file.ps OR

● Basic procedure same as in Linux, i.e.

Now a simple example

text + instructions for including figures

publication-quality book ● letter : for writing letter – letterhead but no

\documentclass{mn2e} ● ApJ, AJ: aastex.cls

(modified report.cls) produces layout for Durham

PhD thesis, which you can also use for L4 thesis● Download duthesis.cls from

modify standard features of class ● Need \usepackage command in preamble, e.g.

● For long documents (e.g. PhD thesis) better to split into several files ● e.g. File main.tex could contain: \documentclass{report} \begin{document} \input{chap1} \input{chap2} \end{document} ● Inputs chap1.tex, chap2.tex ● Effect is same as cutting & pasting chap1.tex etc into main.tex at position of \input command

Font sizes & styles

Defining your own commands

text}

automatically ● e.g. Chapter 1, Section 1.2, Subsection 1.2.5, etc

● In math mode, can have ● Greek characters, e.g. \alpha ● Other math symbols, e.g. \leq ● Fractions, integrals etc ● Subscripts, e.g. x_n ● Superscripts, e.g. y^2 ● AMS-LaTeX package amsmath gives even more
	\

start and end with $, e.g.

We define $y=x^2$.....

● You get:

OR \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx} (for pdflatex)● Then to include a graphics file

at that point if space on page, otherwise on next

manually

● You type:

● Usually make tables “float” (like figures) using

table environment, e.g.

figures, tables using \label to create labels, and \ref

Section \ref{sec:halos} ● LaTeX will insert actual section number ● Cross-referencing info written to .aux file ● Must run LaTeX TWICE to get final document

We show in Fig.~\ref{fig:lumfun} that.... ● \ref{...}gets replaced by actual figure number in

\end{equation} ● Then to refer to it:

\begin{thebibliography}{}
...........

● A more sophisticated approach is to store all your

bibliographic data in a separate (or multiple)

(Kopka & Daly) for more details ● Compatable with natbib citation package

● Main LaTeX file (e.g. paper.tex) must specify

(somewhere) bibliographic style, e.g. \bibliographystyle{mn2e}

blue and underlined with a wavy line.
