SUMMARY:SMACK 16: Basic LaTeX (hands-on) 1
DESCRIPTION:SMACK 16: Basic LaTeX (hands-on) 1\nSepideh Eskandarlou, Dr. Mo
 hammad Akhlaghi\n\nLaTeX is a professional typesetting system to create a 
 ready-to-print or publish (usually PDF!) document (usually papers!). LaTeX
  is the format used by arXiv, and many journals, when you want to submit y
 our scientific papers. With LaTeX, you "program" the final document: text,
  figures, tables, bibliography and etc, through a plain-text (source)&nbsp
 ; file. When you run LaTeX on your source, it will parse your LaTeX source
  and find the best way to blend everything in a nice and professionally de
 sign PDF document. Therefore LaTeX allows you to focus on the actual conte
 nt of your text, tables, plots, and not have to worry about the final desi
 gn (the "style" file provided by the journal will do all of this for you a
 utomatically). This is in contrast to "What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get" (or W
 YSIWYG) editors, like Microsoft Word or LibreOffice Writer, which force yo
 u to worry about style in the middle of content writing (which is very fru
 strating). Since the source of a LaTeX document is plain-text, you can use
  version-control systems like Git to keep track of your changes and update
 s (Git was introduced in SMACK 5, SMACK 6 and SMACK 8). This feature of La
 TeX allows easy collaboration with your co-authors, and is the basis of sy
 stems like Overleaf. Previously (in SMACK 11), some advanced tips and tric
 ks were given on the usage of LaTeX. This SMACK session is aimed to comple
 ment that with a hands-on introduction for those who are just starting to 
 use LaTeX. It is followed by SMACK 17 on other basic features that are nec
 essary to get comfortable with LaTeX.\nLecture notes: https://gitlab.com/m
