1. How do I do a citation in LaTeX?
\cite{sourcename}
2. How do I put in a trademark/registered/copyrighted sign in LaTeX?
\textregistered for (R)
\copyright for (C)
\texttrademark for (TM)
3. How do I get an angstrom sign in LaTeX?
\AA
4. How do I get a percent sign in LaTeX?
\%
5. How do I get table cells to auto-wrap?
Use p{dimen} as the column specification. That wraps them to that
width specified by dimen. Example: \begin{tabular}{|l|l|r|p{2in}|}
6. How do I label things and reference them?
\label{labelname} to label
\ref{labelname} to reference
For tables and figures make sure the \label{} comes inside \caption{}
7. How do I get a degree sign?
^\circ (in math mode).
{ a \choose b } in math mode
N.B. If you are using the amsmath package,
using \choose will cause a Package amsmath Warning
complaining about the \atopwithdelims control sequence.
Just ignore this warning.
9. How do I get a square/cube/n-th power root?
\sqrt{k} for a square root of k
\sqrt[n]{k} for an n-th power root of k
10. How do I get nicely numbered equations?
Use the equation style:
\begin{equation}
E=mc^{2}
\end{equation}
Note: Numbered equations are almost always preferable to
unnumbered equations, for which you can use \begin{displaymath}
\end{displaymath}.
11. How do I reference numbered equations?
When you write the equation,
\begin{equation}
E=mc^2
\label{eqn:Einstein}
\end{equation}
And then when you wish to reference the equation in the prose,
Applying the mass-energy relations given in (\ref{eqn:Einstein}),
we find that...
Note: the eqn: in the label is not formally necessary, but will
make your code more readable.
12. How do I reference numbered figures?
When you insert the figure the equation,
\begin{figure}
\includegraphics{poodles.eps}
\caption{Commuting canine movements}
\label{fig:poodles}
\end{figure}
And then when you wish to reference the figure in the prose,
As seen in Figure \ref{fig:poodles}, the hunting patterns...
13. How do I stop LaTeX from putting an extra space after Ms. ?
use Ms.~Name
14. How do I include a package?
\usepackage{packagename} before \begin{document}
Useful package:
amssymb -- mathematical symbols and fonts
15. How do I create a subsection?
\subsection{subsectionname} for subsections
\subsubsection{subsubsectionname} for subsubsections
$E = mc^{2}$
$1024 = 2^{10}$
\mathbb{Z}, \mathbb{R}, \mathbb{Q}
(you must be using the amssymb or amsmath package)
18. How do I do italics in LaTeX?
\emph{}
19. How do I get the "for all" symbol (upside down A)
\forall in math mode
20. How do I include an image?
\begin{figure}
\includegraphics{imagename.eps}
\caption{Lovely caption}
\label{fig:somethin-you-will-remember}
\end{figure}
21. How do I rotate or resize an included graphic?
use the angle attribute to \includegraphics. For example, \includegraphics[angle=45]{foo.ps} to rotate counterclockwise by 45 degrees. Other possible attributes are:
\includegraphics[width=5in]{foo.ps}
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{foo.ps} % scale to the width of the page
\includegraphics[height=5in]{foo.ps}
\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{foo.ps} % scale to 50%
If you want it to be just as wide as the text, use
width=\textwidth.
Most likely, you are trying to include an image that is not in PostScript format.
