LaTeX -- short tutorial, stolen from here and there

This is for those of you that want to regain full control over their documents, and lots of other cool stuff.

Tutorial

LaTeX Intro

Examples

Here are the examples from the lecture:

• A very simple example: hello_latex.tex
• Book, chapters, compile with pdflatex ... hello.tex, uses this figure
• AGU template (download all files, read and edit agutmpl.tex): ftp://ftp.agu.org/journals/latex/journals/Manuscript-Preparation/

Here are the links from inside the presentation (I stole a lot from these places):

• LaTeX for Windows: MikTeX
• search engines will help
• Comprehensive TeX Archive Network
• Getting to Grips with LaTeX by Andrew Roberts
• The Not So Short Guide to LaTeX
