LaTex for Beginners Workshop, Ian Barba In-Person
LaTex for Beginners
LaTeX is an important document standard for a variety of disciplines at Texas Tech University. LaTeX has features that make it unique from other document software (MS Word), that allow for greater flexibility. However, as a result of these features, the software may be less intuitive for first time users. This seminar will cover basic installation and navigation of the software, as well as an introduction to the markup language of LaTeX. Participants will gain a basic understanding of
how to use the software to create documents, how to enter plain text, and how to format non-standard scripts and type-settings that are relevant to their disciplines.
