|-
| 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 '''slide'''s 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,

|-
| 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'''.
