What are LATEXPackages?

• A basic TeX distribution doesn’t actually provide much


functionality.
• In most cases, creating a LaTeX document will require packages
that provide additional options or functionality.
• There is an extremely broad range of packages available, but they
generally fall into two categories:
• Packages that allow you to change the layout or structure of your
document, like multicol
• Packages that allow you to include new or enhanced content within
your document itself, like amsmath
• Packages required by a document are called in the preamble of
your LaTeX document, i.e. before the
\documentclass{document} statement. The syntax to do so is
\usepackage{. . . }, with the name of the package included in the
brackets.

List of LATEXPackages?

• There are many useful LaTeX packages that can enhance the
functionality and appearance of your documents. Some popular
and widely used packages include:
1 amsmath: Provides numerous enhancements for typesetting
mathematical formulas.
2 graphicx: Allows for the inclusion of graphics in your documents.
3 hyperref: Enables the creation of hyperlinks within the document.
4 babel: Provides multilingual support for documents.
5 natbib: Assists with the formatting of citations and bibliography.
6 listings: Facilitates the inclusion of source code in the document.
7 fancyhdr: Allows for customization of headers and footers.
8 tikz: A powerful tool for creating graphics and diagrams directly
within LaTeX.
• These are just a few examples, and there are many other
packages available to suit a wide range of specific needs.

Organising a Large Document in LATEX?

• Writing a large document can make access to different parts


unwieldy.
• LATEXhas two commands to import files from one another
\input{file}, \include{file}.
• Both include the text in the file given as parameter as-is into the
main document.
• Both perform the same except that \include starts a new page
automatically.
