Inbuilt Commands
There are many inbuilt Commands, some of them are:
ä \author–declares the author(s)
ä \caption–generate caption for figures and tables
ä \color–Specifies color of the text
ä \footnote–Creates a footnote
ä \include–This command is different from \input in that it’s the output that is added instead of the commands
from the other files.

PACKAGES
Packages and their need:
ä Many people have built their own commands and made them available to LATEXusers in packages.
ä Packages allow us to use extra commands without having to include tons and tons of code in the preamble of a
document.

ä graphicx – It introduces the\includegraphics command, which is needed for inserting figures.
ä beamerposter – It introduces nice color box handling and alignment in the beamer class.
ä xcolor – Driver-independent color and access to different kinds of color specifications.
ä siunitx – Comes in handy when units and numbers are a big part of the writing.
ä hyperref – Can add hyperlinks to your pdf output.
ä booktabs – Tabulation

Creating Packages
If you define a lot of new environments and commands, the preamble of your document will get quite long. In this
situation, it is a good idea to create a LaTeX package or class containing all your command and environment
definitions. It can be made dynamic enough to fit to all your future documents. For creating your custom package

spacing,Hyphenation,Quote-marks,Diacritics and accents,Margin misalignment and interword spacing, Fonts....etc
