As we all know, a standardized paper must be constrained by terms and conditions. It is a labor-intensive task to ensure that the paper layout is clear and beautiful when figures, tables, and text coexist. If you just use a simple coding tool, I believe that the light adjustment format will take half a day [halo]
so how to solve it?
Here we recommend a super easy-to-use typesetting tool for friends - Latex [Like China] [Like China] [Like China]
1. What is LaTeX
LaTex is a free document used to create beautiful typesetting and professional formats ( Papers, newspapers, etc.) typesetting tool , specifically, Latex includes a text editor (TeXworks editor, similar to word), Latex compiler and a set of syntax recognized by Latex compiler.
The syntax is mentioned here, and we can think of the code. What? Do I want to program?
Friends, please rest assured [Innocent smile] From the editor’s personal experience, it is not as scary as programming, and we can often find many related templates on the Internet. Simply we can directly use the macro package in it to follow the template. The internal sections fill in the paragraphs, and of course we can also do illustrations and tables just like in word. To put it simply, : we only need to fill the content written in word into the corresponding frame. After is compiled, we can get a good-looking paper [satisfied]
After getting familiar with LaTeX, friends will find that there are ready-made partitions for us to adjust the article, such as font selection, symbol citation, and formula Edit and so on, but sometimes the format we want is not ready or not in the template. What should we do with ? [what]
is very simple. Search [dog head] on the Internet. LaTeX does not require very strict logic like programming. is actually a process of setting formulas . We only need to copy the required code and fill in our own things, and it’s ok~
2. How to download LaTeX
. Here you can refer to the installation tutorial on the Internet. Friends can install it by themselves, no trouble~
3. How to use LaTeX
Click to enter LaTeX and you will see the following interface
Write text
Then we can type our first line of code in the blank space. Let's write a simple example first. Type the code on the left, then click the drop-down menu to select In order for LaTex to correctly compile the above various forms of content, you must introduce the corresponding package in LaTex, that is, use the \usepackage{ } command in LaTex. The content in { } is the name of the package you want to introduce. For example, \usepackage{subfigure} means to introduce a package that generates pictures. Subfigure here, to be more precise, can introduce multiple side-by-side small pictures at the same time.
inserts the table
inserts the table without referencing other packages. The picture is a three-line table.
inserts the formula
and introduces the \usepackage{algorithmicx,algorithm} and \usepackage{mathtools} packages.
But in the process of writing a paper, if all the formulas are typed by hand, wouldn’t it take a lot of time? So in fact, there are related formula converters. We only need to put the formula picture on it and recognize it, and it will automatically be converted into LaTeX code, which can be used after copying it. Related software includes Mathpix and so on. Friends can download it online by themselves.
To write the reference
, you need to introduce the \pagestyle{plain} package.
To write the directory
, you need to introduce the \usepackage[bookmarksnumbered]{hyperref} package, and add \tableofcontents after \begin{document}.
4. How to convert a paper into a file
In fact, after we edit the document and view the build, ctex will automatically pop up a box. The content displayed in this box is actually a pdf file. This means that after we build and view, in fact, ctex A pdf file has been automatically generated for us, so how do we find this pdf file? In fact, pdf files are generally in the directory of our ctex file.
pdf is the default export format of LaTeX. What if we want the word version?
In fact, we only need to download a markup language conversion tool, which is a language conversion tool that converts LaTex into word, html and other file formats --------pandoc. Friends can download it from the official website of pandoc . After the installation of
is completed, we can enter cmd in the folder where .tex is located, and then enter the following command
pandoc input.tex -o output.docxto convert the .tex format file into a .docx format file~
or above This is a brief introduction and usage instructions about LaTeX. Thank you friends for watching~ I hope my article can help everyone! [Sending Hearts]
