Chapter 1 Template 1.1 How to compile a .tex 鍖le to a .pdf 鍖le 1.1.1 Tools To process the 鍖les you (may) need: pdflatex (for example from tetex package 0.9-6, which you can get from Red Hat 5.2); acroread (a PDF viewer, available from http://www.adobe.com/); ghostscript 5.10 (for example from Red Hat Contrib) and ghostview or gv (from RedHat Linux); efax package could be useful, if you plan to fax documents. 1.1.2 How to use the tools Follow these steps: 1. put all source .tex 鍖les in one directory, then chdir to the directory (or put some of them in the LATEXsearch path if you know how to do this); 2. run pdflatex file.tex on the main 鍖le of the document three times (three to prepare valid table of contents); 3. to see or print the result use acroread (unfortunately some versions of acroread may produce PostScript which is too complex), or 5
6 CHAPTER 1. TEMPLATE 4. run ghostscript: gv file.pdf to display or: gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pswrite -q -dBATCH -sOutputFile=鍖le.ps 鍖le.pdf to produce a PostScript 鍖le; 5. run fax send phone-number file.ps as root to send a fax, or if you know how to do this modify the fax script to be able to fax .pdf 鍖les directly (you have to insert |%PDF* somewhere...). 1.2 How to write a document 1.2.1 The main document Choose the name of the document, say document. Copy template.tex to document.tex, then edit it, change the title, the authors and set proper in- clude(s) for all the chapters. 1.2.2 Chapters Each chapter should be included in the main document as a separate 鍖le. You can choose any name for the 鍖le, but we suggest adding a suf鍖x to the name of the main 鍖le. For our example we use the 鍖le name document_chapter1.tex. First, copy template_chapter.tex to document_chapter1.tex and add the line include{document_chapter1} in the document.tex, then edit document_chapter1.tex, change the chapter title and edit the body of the chapter appropriately. 1.2.3 Spell-checking Do use a spell-checker, please! You may also want to check grammar, style and so on. Actually you should do it (if you have enough spare time). But you must check spelling! You can use the ispell package for this, from within emacs, or from the command line: ispell -t document_chapter1.tex
1.3. LATEX AND PDFLATEX CAPABILITIES 7 1.3 LATEX and pdfLATEX capabilities 1.3.1 Overview First you edit your source .tex 鍖le. In LATEX you compile it using the latex command to a .dvi 鍖le (which stands for device-independent). The .dvi 鍖le can be converted to any device-dependent format you like using an appropriate driver, for example dvips. When producing .pdf 鍖les you should use pdflatex, which produces di- rectly .pdf 鍖les out of .tex sources. Note that in the .tex 鍖le you may need to use some PDF speci鍖c packages. For viewing .tex 鍖les use your favourite text editor, for viewing .dvi 鍖les under X Window System use xdvi command, .ps 鍖les can be viewed with gv (or ghostview) and .pdf 鍖les with acroread, gv or xpdf. 1.3.2 LATEX A lot of examples can be found in this document. You should also print doc/latex/general/latex2e.dvi and doc/latex/general/lshort2e.dvi from your tetex distribution (usually in /usr/share/texmf or /usr/lib/texmf/texmf). 1.3.3 pdfLATEX Consult doc/pdftex/manual.pdf from your tetex distribution for more details. Very useful informations can be found in the hyperref and graphics package manuals: doc/latex/hyperref/manual.pdf and doc/latex/graphics/grfguide.dvi. 1.3.4 Examples References MIMUW
