⌘ What is LaTeX
- LaTeX = markup language
- Syntactically easy to distinguish from the text
- We have text and we have instructions
- TeX vs LaTeX
- TeX = computer program
- Input = file with text and instructions
- Output = document with a certain style
- LaTeX = TeX + set of macros (small programs)
- Objective = make easier the life of editors
- TeX = computer program

⌘ Why do I need LaTeX
- Used in:
- Books
- Scientific articles

- Presentations
- Useful for:
- Collaborative writing
- Not to struggle with formatting
- Mathematical formulas
- Bibliographic references
⌘ Drawbacks
- Needs time to learn
- What you see is not what you get
- Tables (could be a nightmare), not any more
- Positioning tables, figures, is not easy
- Needs to generate the output file, PDF
⌘ Advantages
- Flexibility and modularity
- Split the document into different files
- Reorder sections without any complication
- Concentrate in the content, not the layout
- Could be used within many editors
- Easy to create:
- Indexes
- Citations
- References
- Footnotes
