This was super amazing and helpful to learn from!

My advanced physics lab in Uni is making me use LaTeX for our Lab Reports and I've never used it before so I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure stuff out.

I learned everything within 1 hour, and already made a decent lab report using LaTex. They really should teach this in high school as an optional class for those who wanna pursue STEM.

Just FYI, ...Not to be picky, but you mention to input a "Forward slash" in your tutorials, but it is actually a "BACKSLASH" (\) that is needed. This is on behalf of a friend who is legally blind and relies on what is said vs seen. Thanks. Great tutorial by the way and please keep it up. Thank you.

Hi Taylor, this was a great introduction. I'm planning to use LaTex for writing my bachelor's thesis and this confirmed my plan, since it looks quite easy. I was wondering if there's any way I could access the document you created in this tutorial to build on that and maybe make notes. Thanks in advance! Greetings from Germany :)

I think the reason table captions are on top is that tables can be so long and can span several pages, you don't want to scroll all the way down to the bottom to see what the table is about

Hi Taylor, Thank for the tutorial. I learned alot. I have an extra question concerning the table:
1- How to give a gray background for the top row with using rules.
2- How to let the table span multiple pages.

Thanks in advance.

Very helpful video, thanks a lot. I am not getting a hyperlink on the citations, could someone please let me know how to fix it?

[DetectiveIncognito]

Hi Taylor, Thanks for the amazing tutorial. I just started using LaTex and you made it so quick and easy. I have a question though if you don't mind me asking. I am writing my text then I add a figure under it, but when I add a new text block under the figure the order of the paragraphs is messed up and the figure is dividing the new text. Thanks for helping !

I tried to do an abstract with the same ruler-style design, but my lines didn't center themselves even after I applied some text. Do you know how can I fix that maybe?

The all is very interesting, I have one question though. The essays I have to produce has to be in word. Am not sure but exist the possibility to write the essay in LateX pass in pdf and then in word not altering nothing in the last passage ( or directly from lateX to word still not altering nothing ? ) otherwise I had to bow my head to the sad Word processor

Great Tutorial!
Question: I need my document to be in 2 columns so I used the multicol package, which wont support the figures or tables. I tried the wrapfig package but the text goes all down the side.
Do you have a way of making your document 2-column friendly?

[carolinepottinger]

Hi,
great tutorial! I have a question concerning \setlenght{\parindent}{0em} - it did not work and it said '0em' in the document. Thanks in advance!

[vanduyenvimaru]
