The preamble of a LaTeX document contains commands that affect the whole document, and occurs between the \documentclass and \begin{document} commands. The body of the document contains all the text and is between the \begin{document} and \end{document} commands. Any text after \end{document} will be ignored.
LaTeX consists of several programs installed on Elon's computers: a latex program that processes files, a yap program for previews and printing, and an editor for plain text. Jim Beuerle has installed these programs and TeXShell to coordinate them on Elon's lab PCs.

If you have commands for LaTeX that will aect the whole document, you
should include them in the preamble, which is what the space between the \documentclass and \begin{document} commands is called. The body of the document, where you include all of your text, must occur between the \begin{document} and \end{document} commands. Any text that comes after the \end{document} command will be ignored. 1.3 Using LaTeX on Elons Computers LaTeX consists of several programs: 1. A program latex that processes your input. 2. A program (yap on our computers) that previews and prints your work. In addition, you need an editor that produces plain text without formatting commands as well as a good spell-checker. Jim Beuerle has arranged for all of these programs to be installed on Elons lab PCs, as well as a program TeXShell to coordinate them. You can start TeXShell either from a desktop seashell icon (for the machines in Duke 201, 204, and 209) or from the Start/Courseware/Math menu (for the lab machines). To use TexShell, you need to follow the following steps: 1. You should either create a new LaTeX le with File/New or open an existing LaTeX le with File/Open. 2. You need to designate the main le that you will be working with, since LaTeX les can include other LaTeX les and the programs need to know which one to use; a number of secondary les will be created with the same lename but dierent extensions. Use File/Main File. 3. You should use the main editing screen to enter and revise your work. 4. Always spell-check or your teachers will laugh and/or cry at your work: use Edit/Spell Check. 5. Press the TeX button to run the LaTeX program on your le. A small window will open and close during this time; any error messages will show up there; if successful the window will close itself. If not, you will need to type an x and hit Enter to close it after reading the error message. 6. If you want to see the warnings and error messages later, press the Log button. 5
