Installing LATEXResources

I I use MacTeX: http://tug.org/mactex/

I Comes with TeXShop, probably the easiest way to get startedediting LATEX �les on the mac:http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/

I Also comes with BibDesk, a really great program:http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net/

I I uses aquamacs (an OS X version of GNU emacs), takes somemore work to customize: http://aquamacs.org/,http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/

Editing

Windows

I I don't really know much, sorry.

I But I think MiKTeX is what people use:http://www.miktex.org/.

I I've also heard good things about WinEdt as an editor:http://www.winedt.com/ (not free). Also:http://www.texniccenter.org/.

I Emacs is also an option.

Resources

I I put up some basic templates, plus the source to this �le, onthe web. The source to this �le in particular contains all sortsof little recipes you might �nd useful.

I Some resources for linguists:

I LATEX for linguistshttp://www.essex.ac.uk/linguistics/clmt/latex4ling/

I UCSC editionhttp://people.ucsc.edu/�kirchner/resources/latex/latex.html

I LingTeX mailing list http://heim.i�.uio.no/�dag/ling-tex.html

I A good general purpose reference (esp. for formulae):http://www.giss.nasa.gov/tools/latex/

Really basicDocument structureFormatting

Really basic

I TEX is a macro language; LATEX a comprehensive set of macrosand conventions built in TEX.

I Interface for formatting is distinct from the formatting itself.

I Generate formatted PDF/Postscript �le by compilingdocument.

I Most text is just text.

I Macros: nmacroname[options]{argument}

I e.g. �ntextbf{hi}� produces hi.

I Environments are bracketed with a begin and end command:

nbegin{itemize}nitem Most text is just text.nend{itemize}

Regular paragraphs are just blocks of text with blank linesbefore andafter them.It doesn't matterwhereyou put the line breaks.

Text styles

I These are LaTeX2e font selection commands; don't use e.g.nit any more.

I italic : ntextit{italic}

I bold: ntextit{bold}

I small caps: ntextsc{small caps}

Bulleted text

I Bullets are done with the itemize environment.

I Each item is prefaced with an nitem command.

nbegin{itemize}nitem Bullets are done with the itemize environment.nitem Each item is prefaced with an $nbackslash$itemcommand.nend{itemize}

Document divisions

I Automatic section numbering and cross-referencing.I Commands: nchapter (memoir), nsection, nsubsection, etc.I Labeling command: nlabel{name}I Reference with nref{name}, or npageref{name} for the page

number.

nchapter{My �rst chapter}nsection{The .1 section of this chapter}nsubsection{The .1.1 section}nlabel{mylabel}

...nS nref{mylabel} is on p. npageref{mylabel}

I This last line will produce something like ��1.1.1 is on p. 1�.(except, automatically determined.)

I Need to run LATEX multiple times to get right cross-references.(First pass generates label information, second pass inserts itfor ref commands.)

Editing

BibTeX

I Makes it very easy to manage bibliography entries.

I Three parts:

I A .bib �le � stores reference information.

@article{Chomsky59,Author = {Noam Chomsky},Journal = {Information and Control},Pages = {137�167},Title = {On certain formal properties of grammars},Volume = {2},Year = {1959}}

I Cite commands and bibliography commands in your .tex �le.

ncitep{Chomsky59}

I BibTeX � a program called after LATEX that �gures out citationsfrom an .aux �le (produced as a side-e�ect of compilation).

Formulas

I Formulas are entered in math mode. The main way to switchto math mode is using $ symbols.

JmustK = �phsti : �ws : 8w0 : wRw 0 ! p(w 0)

$nleftnllbracket ntext{ntextbf{must}} nrightnrrbracket =nlambda p_{nleftnlangle st nrightnrangle} n: .n: nlambdaw_s n: .n: nforall w' : wRw' nrightarrow p(w')$

More complicated formulas

(Chosen at random from The Harmonic Mind)

[I�M](d0)(d) =

( �1�k �M

�(d0)

(d)if 9k s.t. m + k = d and m0 + k = d 0

0 otherwise

$nleft[nmathbb{I} nvarotimes nmathbb{M}nright]^{(d')}_{(d)}=

nleftn{nbegin{array}{ll}nleft[nmathbf{1}^{nvarotimes k} nvarotimes

nmathbb{M}nright]^{(d')}_{(d)} &ntext{if }nexists kntext{ s.t. }m+k=d

ntext{ and }m'+k=d'nnnmathbf{0} & ntext{otherwise}

nend{array}nright.$

Editing

Example numbering

I Various packages � I use gb4e.I Copy on website adapted to not con�ict with memoir.

I Another popular one is linguex.

I Easy to do automatic cross-references: (2)

(1) Alfonso is a lawyer.

(2) * Alfonso seems a lawyer.

(3) a. Who is Alfonso talking to?

b. Who on earth is Alfonso talking to?

Including �gures

I I usually use the graphicx package.

Tree diagrams

I Many popular packages:I pst-jtree. reportedly the best modern one, but requires

pstricks, and consequently, does not work with pd�atex.I qtree. Pretty easy to use, no dependencies.I parsetree. Actually designed for programming language theory,

but works well for linguistics.I TikZ. General purpose drawing package, really really nice. But

does less tree formatting automatically.

I Examples: (download source to see details)

Editing

I Note: I pulled this out of a homework from about 7 years ago, so I haveno idea why you'd use this constituent structure.

Tableaux

I Can do many tableaux with simple tabular environments.

I This example is also using the tipa package for IPA fonts, andthe arydshln package for the dashed line.

I Actually, this uses my own custom tableau environment basedon tabular, there is probably something better around. (Colin?)

I Major drawback: it is a pain to add columns, especially inlarge tableau. It is a huge pain to re-order columns.

Presentations

I This presentation is made with the beamer package. Seemslike the best option by far.

I Pretty easy to use, well-documented. (Same author asPGF/TikZ.)

I Source for this �le available.

I I've also put up a beamer �template� (which is really just theexample from the beamer site).

I To see what can be done, I will now switch to a di�erent �le.

Editing

Posters

I I use the a0poster class along with textpos.

I Produces A0-sized PDF �les. (European size.)

I Pretty easy to get to work with the poster printer upstairs.
