Learn LaTeX Tutorial (1): Basic Compiling, Titles, Sections, Formatting and Syntax

Here we cover the super basics of compiling a simple LaTeX document: titles, sections, subsections, basic formatting (bolding, italics, quotation marks) and the rest. Accidently uploaded a truncated copy orignally lol. Now fixed.

Thanks for making this tutorial, i really enjoy typing out the core of my text in plain with dark backgrounds, it's so light on the eyes, and i can go on forever.
Finding it a bit hard to learn everything, but it should come with time.

This is the first latex tutorial that has the pace im looking for, i only use latex about once a year and relearning stuff on looong tutorials is pretty hard, defs saving this video for later

Nice introduction to LaTeX! I use LaTeX daily to write papers, books and lecture notes. For papers, I prefer amsart to article.

I wish I knew how to use this when I had to write lab reports for college biology. The defaults alone are done perfectly! And it would have saved me several hours on the works cited page

Concise... I love it! One needs to put in extra work though to figure out how to net the functions with zero prior programming experience.

Hi there, does anyone know what font of the text he uses in the terminal?

[Houndoom]

I wish everyone knew how to use LaTeX. I'd never have to fight with Word Document formatting ever again...

TeXmacs, or how to get superior typesetting (with respect to LaTeX) without needing to compile (wysiwyg math editing, wow). Would be great if Luke could make such great introductory videos for TeXmacs!

2:11 to 2:13

shit... what happened here? How did he open that other input window and build/compile? I guess he is using keyboard

[MrCraber]

Hi Luke. Great videos! Would you mind sharing your vim settings and what terminal you are using?

[firerose]

Thanks for the super useful tutorials!

i found a bit of a problem when generating the document, i wanted to only generate a tex file (to re-edit it later on ) and a pdf file but latex generate three different files i don't need the third one genrated (i don't remember the extension but what ever ) how can i do this ?

You should use mupdf and send updates from a script using kill -SIGHUP $(pgrep -u $USER mupdf). mupdf better for i3 :)
