Time	Narration
00:01	Welcome to this spoken tutorial on Report Writing in LaTeX. I am calling it “latek” and not “latex”.
00:09	My name is Kannan Moudgalya.
00:13	In this tutorial, we will learn how to write a document.
00:19	In particular, how to use ‘report’ and ‘article’ class, How to create sections, Automate the numbering of sections, Create Table of contents and How to create the title page.
00:38	I am creating this tutorial on our less than 10,000 Rupee laptop.
00:44	And, I am using Ubuntu Linux, TeXworks and LaTeX.
00:51	You can also use TeXworks on Windows or Mac - the method is identical.
00:57	You can use LaTeX by itself, without TeXworks also.
01:02	You are welcome to use more expensive Linux computers also!
01:07	The prerequisites to learn this are the following: Spoken tutorials that introduce LaTeX, The file ‘report dot tex’, Knowledge of the side-by-side method required to practise this tutorial.
01:23	Information on all of the above are available on our website: spoken tutorial dot org.
01:32	Let me go to the TeXworks window.
01:36	I have already opened the file report.tex. Please download this file and practise along with me.
01:44	I am using 12 point as the font size, ‘a4 paper’ and ‘article’ class.
01:55	I am using the geometry package to set margins, through the 'usepackage' command.
02:02	A reverse slash should come at the beginning of every command.
02:07	Although I will not say it explicitly, you should not forget to put the reverse slash.
02:13	Similarly, I will not explicitly mention braces, but you may have to use them.
02:20	Please reproduce exactly what is done in the video.
02:25	The usepackage command has optional parameters inside square brackets.
02:31	The name of the package is within braces.
02:35	I have set horizontal and vertical margins of 4.5 cm each.
02:41	Look at the top left hand corner of the 'TexWorks’ window.
02:47	In case 'pdfLaTeX’ is not already chosen, please select it from the pull down menu.
02:55	To the left, there is a green circle with an arrow.
02:59	Click the arrow and compile this file.
03:04	We get the file ‘report.pdf’ shown on the right hand side.
03:09	Look at the titles - section, sub-section and sub-sub-section in the output file.
03:18	These are created using identical commands given in the source file.
03:23	Observe the distinctive features of these section titles in the 'pdf' file.
03:30	The sizes of these titles are created proportionately and automatically.
03:37	Also, the section title is the largest and the sub-sub-section title is the smallest.
03:45	Irrespective of blank lines in the source file, the output remains the same.
03:50	Let me delete one line here. Compile.
03:55	There is no change here.
03:57	Let me now change the paper size to a5.
04:02	This will reduce the width of every line in the output.
04:06	Let me compile the text as we did before.
04:10	Let me magnify it by pressing control + so that you can see the output clearly.
04:17	Let me bring it to the centre.
04:20	For the rest of this tutorial, we will use the a5 paper only. You are welcome to change it to a4.
04:28	Note that I did not save the file. This is because TexWorks saves the file automatically before compilation.
04:37	Let us change the font to a smaller one of 10 point and compile.
04:44	Hey, the font size has become smaller - should we be surprised? But, proportional sizing and spacing remain the same.
04:54	Let me change the font back to 12 point.
04:59	We will now discuss another important aspect of section titles.
05:04	It is the automatic generation of section numbers.
05:09	To illustrate this further, I will add a new section called ‘Inserted section’.
05:18	On compilation, it appears here with a correct number in sequence. Thus, numbering also is automatically taken care of by LaTeX.
05:29	LaTeX creates table of contents through a file with extension “toc”.
05:36	Let me add ‘table of contents’, one word, here.
05:42	Compile.
05:44	The word ‘Contents’ appears in the output but nothing else.
05:50	Let me compile once again.
05:53	All the titles are now present in the table of contents along with page numbers.
05:59	You have to compile it the third time to get the correct page numbers.
06:05	Why three times? Please see the assignment.
06:09	Just one word, ‘table of contents’, is what is needed.
06:14	What an amazing capability in LaTeX!
06:17	This is achieved through a file with extension “toc” that LaTeX maintains.
06:24	This multi pass compilation procedure works with changes in titles as well.
06:30	Let me change the section title to ‘Modified section’.
06:36	Let me compile it. Table of Contents does not change.
06:42	Let me compile it once more and solve this problem.
06:46	Now we have a modified section here.
06:49	We will create a title for this document. Let me do it here, just before ‘begin document’.
06:57	I will create a ‘title’, ‘Author’ information and the ‘date’ as follows.
07:13	So, I have added these three commands.
07:17	Order in which these come or the place where they come does not matter.
07:22	But they should come before the begin document command.
07:26	Don’t forget the reverse slash in all the commands.
07:31	Double slash here means the next line. We compile it.
07:38	There are no changes in the ‘pdf’ file.
07:42	The reason is that I have not told LaTeX what to do with this information.
07:47	So, I add the ‘make title’ command, one word, just after the 'begin document'.
07:55	Let me compile it.
07:58	The title appears in the output, at the place where I put this command
08:03	namely, at the beginning of the document.
08:07	We will now change the class of this document from article to report.
08:15	Simultaneously, we define a chapter with this command: 'Chapter First Chapter'.
08:24	Report style requires at least one chapter.
08:27	Let us compile it and see the output.
08:31	Notice the changes in the output.
08:35	Title appears on a whole page that has no number.
08:40	Contents also appear on an entire page, with page number 1.
08:47	Please pause here and find out how many entries in 'Contents' are wrong.
08:54	Let us go to the next page. Notice the way the chapter begins.
09:00	How many distinguishing features can you identify? You should find at least five.
09:08	Let us compile it for the second time.
09:12	Observe that the Contents page now has the correct information. The page numbers are correct now.
09:21	Let us add a chapter, called ‘New Chapter’.
09:32	Compile it.
09:34	Let me compile once again and see it coming on a new page.
09:47	Insert the command appendix before this new chapter.
09:53	On compilation, you see the word “Appendix” appearing.
09:59	The chapter number is A.
10:02	Let us go to the slides now.
10:05	Let us summarize what we learnt in this tutorial.
10:08	Writing a document in LaTeX, Automatically creating chapter and section titles, Automatic numbering, Table of contents and title page creation, Creating Appendix.
10:21	Let me give some assignments.
10:24	This assignment is on a4 paper and letter paper.
10:29	Please pause the video, read the slide and do the assignment.
10:35	This assignment is on font size.
10:41	This is on report dot toc.
10:47	This is on number of compilations.
10:52	This is on the location of Table of Contents.
10:59	This assignment is on the use of the 'chapter' command in 'report' and 'article'.
11:07	This assignment is on the effect of the 'appendix' command in the 'report' class.
11:15	This is the same as the previous assignment, but in the 'article' class.
11:22	This is on the geometry package.
11:27	This assignment is on LaTeX classes, in general.
