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. |
