Examples of Latex

Here an example of a very small Latex document

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document} example for a very \tiny{tiny} \normalsize \LaTeX \ document
\end{document}

A small Latex document

\documentclass[12pt,twoside,a4paper]{article}
\begin{document}
a small \LaTeX document
\end{document}

Class options

12pt Character size 12 points

twoside Reciprocally front and back

a4paper DIN A4 format

There are four standard documents letting.

 book
 report
 article
 letter (normally American format)

Each document use exactly one document class.


so

\documentclass{article} or \documentclass{report}
Not
\documentclass{article, report}

Tables in Latex
\documentclass[12pt,twoside,a4paper]{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
A & B & C \\
\hline
1 & 2 & 3 \\
\hline
4&5&6
\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

Still another table

\documentclass[12pt,twoside,a4paper]{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{c|c|c}
A & B & C \\
\hline
1 & 2 & 3 \\
\hline
4 & 5 & 6 \\
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

A third table

\documentclass[12pt,twoside,a4paper]{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|l|r|}
\hline
\multicolumn{3}{|l|}{test} & A & B \\
\hline
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
Something mathe with Latex

Are $a, b \in \mathbb{R}, then applies (a+b)^{2} = a^{2} + ab + b^{2} $ \\


better \\
are $a, b \in \mathbb{R}, \textrm{then apply} \, (a+b)^{2 } = a^{2 } + ab + b^{2}$\\

Here's a brief explanation of what some of the commands in the file above do:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
This says to use 12pt type, which is a large readable size (10 and 11 are also used a lot). It
also specifies that the article style be used, which is what you will use for linguistics
papers.
\usepackage{lingmacros}
\usepackage{tree-dvips}
lingmacros and tree-dvips are style files that have been written by people to help you do
example sentences and draw trees.
\section*{Notes for My Paper}
This says to make a section heading consisting of what is between the curly brackets, and
the * says not to number it. Without the * you would get a numbered heading which would
increment with each following section heading.
\subsection*{How to handle topicalization}
This says to make a subsection heading, which is smaller sized than the section heading.
You can even do \subsubsection headings!
\enumsentence, \ex and \shortex{7}
These are control commands for numbering example sentences and giving examples with
glosses and translation lines. You separate each word by & in the \shortex environment,
and tell it the number of words you plan to enter (in curly brackets). \ex allows you to refer
to numbered examples with a number relative to the current point in the file (rather than
with an absolute number).
\begin{tabular}[t]{cccc}
This is how the tree was drawn.
\emph{Irrealis}
This says to make what is in curly brackets into italics. You can also do \textbf{Hi
There} to get bold Hi There and \textsc{Hi There} to get HI THERE.
\small
This makes the type size smaller. The braces delimit the range of text over which this
command has an effect.
\begin{document} and \end{document}
These must be put around the text of your paper.

% This is a simple sample document.

For more complicated documents take a look in the exercise tab.

Note that everything that comes after a % symbol is treated as comment and ignored when the
code is compiled.

\documentclass{article} % \documentclass{} is the first command in any LaTeX code. It is used


to define what kind of document you are creating such as an article or a book, and begins the
document preamble

\usepackage{amsmath} % \usepackage is a command that allows you to add functionality to your


LaTeX code

\title{Simple Sample} % Sets article title


\author{My Name} % Sets authors name
\date{\today} % Sets date for date compiled
% The preamble ends with the command \begin{document}
\begin{document} % All begin commands must be paired with an end command somewhere
\maketitle % creates title using information in preamble (title, author, date)

\section{Hello World!} % creates a section

\textbf{Hello World!} Today I am learning \LaTeX. %notice how the command will end at the first
non-alphabet charecter such as the . after \LaTeX
\LaTeX{} is a great program for writing math. I can write in line math such as $a^2+b^2=c^2$ %$
tells LaTexX to compile as math
. I can also give equations their own space:
\begin{equation} % Creates an equation environment and is compiled as math
\gamma^2+\theta^2=\omega^2
\end{equation}
If I do not leave any blank lines \LaTeX{} will continue this text without making it into a new
paragraph. Notice how there was no indentation in the text after equation (1).
Also notice how even though I hit enter after that sentence and here $\downarrow$
\LaTeX{} formats the sentence without any
break. Also look how it doesn't matter how many spaces I
put between my words.
For a new paragraph I can leave a blank space in my code.

\end{document} % This is the end of the document
