Learning LATEX

December 23, 2018

Abstract
This is my first document prepared in LATEX. I typed it on December
23, 2018.

We have seen that to typeset something in LATEX, we type in the text to be


typeset together with some LATEX commands.
The end of a paragraph is specified by a blank line in the input. Hence this
sentence is not a new paragraph even with a newline.
This is a new paragraph without indentation.
Every line would have the same length. Every line would have the same
length. Every line would have the same length. Every line would have the same
length. Every line would have the same length. Every line would have the same
length.

Find the difference and tell which one is correct?

Note the difference in right and left quotes in ‘single quotes’ and “double
quotes”.

She saw something remarkable in even the most matter-of-fact and banal
things. Even when the simple and commonplace things of life affected her most
deeply, she never suspected, in her thoughts or feelings, that what was happening
to her might be banal, a mere unnoteworthy nothing wich everyone takes for
granted, which is not even worth talking about.
——Excerpt from Hannah Arendt’s Self-Portrait

1 Dividing the document


To see the other commands in action, suppose at this point of text I type

1.1 Example
In this example, we show how subsections and subsubsections are produced
(there are no subsubsubsections). Note how the subsections are numbered.

1.1.1 Subexample
Did you note that subsubsections are not numbered? This is so in the book and
report classes. In the article class they too have numbers. (Can you figure
out why?)

Note Paragraphs and subparagraphs do not have numbers. And they have
run-in headings. Though named “paragraph” we can have several paragraphs
of text within this.

Subnote Subparagraphs have an additional indentation too.

Some mathematicians elevate the spirit of Mathematics to a kind of intel-
lectual aesthetics. It is best voiced by Bertrand Russell in the following lines.
This is quoting a single paragraph.
See the difference?
This is quoting multiple paragraph. This is quoting multiple
paragraph. This is quoting multiple paragraph. This is quoting
multiple paragraph.
Yes, look at the indentation.
This is a poetry...Well, almost
Here begins poem
Above is seprated by an empty line
This can be used for several stanzas Here is seprated by a line break
Now ends the poem
You have to leave an empty line here.
Or you can’t get proper indentation.
