Latex - Basic elements for writing a book/thesis

[@azzeddineelbaraka7621]

Thank you. Exellent teacher. Five years later, your video is still current.

[@freeman2]

Sir, respect to you for the work you put in this video. I literally feel that I learnt LaTeX using just 3 of your videos worth less than 4 hours of my lifetime. Thank you so much

[@mauriciofernandez6014]

Aditya Jain thank you very much for the kind words! have fun!

[@ravishdubey8829]

I rarely comment on youtube videos, but your work and video is so helpful and selfless, Thank you so much for your valuable tips and sharing the files.

[@MBSirte2012]

Thank you for this great effort. I know it is time consuming to prepare like these tutorials. I appreciate you nice work Thank you once again

[@josecarlobermudez7684]

Dear Mauri, you deserve nothing but the best after this video. Such a nice input to work. Have a blast.

[@mauriciofernandez6014]

Thank you very very much for the kind words :D have fun!

[@marilywd6335]

Thanks so much, this is the most thorough walkthru I've seen yet. Nobody else seems to cover indexes. I haven't yet had time to examine everything, but when I do, I'll probably have loads of questions. Thanks again!

[@FerchoGarcia123]

Un año después de haber comenzado este tutorial acabo de imprimir la versión final de mi tesis de ingeniería. Siempre que tengo alguna duda regreso al tutorial. Lo he recomendado a todos mis compañeros que necesitas ayuda. Gracias Mauricio. Años después de subir estos videos sigues ayudando. Un abrazo.

[@mauriciofernandez6014]

Me alegro que te haya podido ayudar y ojalá que le siga ayudando a otros :D De un ingeniero a otro, mucho éxito en tu carrera!

[@nitishgadgil3744]

At first sight the length of the video made me a bit skeptical, but after I started watching it, I have to say, it was worth every single minute. Thank you very much for taking out your time to create this video. I really liked the way you talk about structuring the code. It looks very neat and clean. Thank you for all the insights.

[@banafshezakeri1393]

Hi Mauricio, Thank you so much for sharing this great tutorial. I worked with LATEX some years ago for my master thesis but going through all the commands and preparation could take so much time. Your files and folders helped me greatly to manage my PhD thesis with so much time saving. I appreciate your kindness for helping others and for the time you spent to share your experiences.

[@mauriciofernandez6014]

Banafshe Zakeri you are very welcome! I am happy to have been able to help, I also just finished my phd thesis in february this year, and therefore know what you mean :D

[@MarkAnthonyCabilo]

A very well-put video for latex beginners like me. Your effort is much appreciated!

[@MrJJGabe]

This was an amazing tutorial to demonstrate many things you can do with LaTeX. It does require some previous knowledge of commands but as Mauricio says, most LaTeX commands are quite straightforward and descriptive. Danke Mauricio

[@mauriciofernandez6014]

Gerne :D

[@janosch090]

Well done! It is good to know that people like you exist around the world. Cheers

[@JCOpUntukIndonesia]

Wow! This is the best one so far. Learned LaTeX exactly from bare hands. Even I refer to you on how to install it. Thanks so much for sharing Mauricio. This is such a great help for me.

+Mauricio Lobos Thanks a lot for your video. Can you please explain something or give me some links about the Coma script class?

[@mauriciofernandez6014]

[@rohankundu]

+Mauricio Lobos no problem :) Thanks again!!

[@manuelaj3z116]

hola Mauricio, me gustaria ver este video en español, porque hay pocos tutoriales que ataquen este tema en particular, y si lo hicieras en español, creo que ayudaria a los alumnos a poder utilizar mas este tipo de programas y dejar el software WORD de lado y usar algo mas especializado, saludos desde Perú

[@mauriciofernandez6014]

Manuel Alejandro Junior Espejo Zeballos Hola Manuel! Hmmmm ..... le voy a dar vueltas a la idea. En si me gustaria hacerlo, solo que tengo poco tiempo ....... si alcanzo, te aviso, ya que tambien creo que tutoriales asi para Latinoamerica tambien podrian ayudarle a un monton de gente. Igual un saludo desde Alemania!

sadly I have no idea. I tested it from my computer without loging in into youtube or gmail and at least in firefox 51 in windows with adblocker I have no problems with the links.

[@TheColihen]

I always wanted to learn typesetting, just for fun, by exploring the templates and learning bit by bit. Never knew where to start. Your video made it possible and I am really looking forward to trying all that out. Is there anywhere I can send a symbolic donation?

[@mauriciofernandez6014]

TheColihen thank you very very much for the kind words! Those are for me far more important than money :D I really appreciate it, keep your money, buy yourself an ice cream with it :P

thank you for this. wonder if you could help me out with presentations. I would like to produce a customised presentation and apparently the best approach would be by using officer package, the challenge is splitting tables automatically based on allotted space and size of content. Got any idea how to do it???

[@lioneluran]

Great video. Thank you! I wonder how you managed to see the whole project in the Structure panel. My TexMaker only shows currently open document.

[@lucasabera1679]

Dear Mauricio Lobos, Many thanks for your educative, insightful and great assistances in helping us to understand the concept, techniques, and practicality of LaTex. Could it be possible to get your full commands as I am using it for my Ph.D. Thesis and I am running after time as it helps me to speed up the process? Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Best wishes, L.

[@mauriciofernandez6014]

Hey hey! You are very welcome :D The commands I presented here are almost everything I use every day. If you need more information about commands or have specific questions, take a look at tex.stackexchange.com/ (that is my favorite place for all that kind of stuff!). Good luck!

[@geeniey1017]

Hi Mauricio,Thanks for sharing such helpful tutorial.. I have tried to make a Report following your instructions, but I am having a tough time with the references using Bibtex... I have updated Bibtex with Mendeley references. I tried to build it, but can't get the references on bibilography or on the pdf.. Instead a (?) Shows up... Please help me in this case!

[@mauriciofernandez6014]

+Geeniey 101 You are very welcome :D. You have to have also the right compilation procedure, that means Latex-Bib(la)tex-Latex-Latex-ViewPDF . The (?) means that the references were not found, this normally happens if Bibtex has not been executed. If bibtex is executed correctly, a .bbl file with the loaded references will be created. Minimal example, do [1], [2] and [3]: [1] create a file main.tex with the following content \documentclass{article} %% compile as follows: latex-bib(la)tex-latex-latex-viewpdf \begin{document} Test. Some examples \cite{Lastname1:2015}. \cite{Lastname3:2014}. \bibliographystyle{acm} \bibliography{library} \end{document} [2] create a file library.bib with the following content @article{Lastname1:2015, author = {Lastname1, First1 and Lastname2, First2}, journal = {Journal1}, number = {5}, pages = {1573--1587}, title = {{Title1}}, volume = {55}, year = {2015} } @article{Lastname3:2014, author = {Lastname3, First3}, journal = {Journal2}, number = {2}, pages = {1500--1523}, title = {{Title2}}, volume = {50}, year = {2014} } [3] - try first to compile main.tex with latex-viewpdf and you will only see [?] since bibtex has not been run - open library.bib within texmaker by clicking on it in the structure area, with that the file will be read and you will get the automcompletition (very useful) - change compilation to latex-bib(la)tex-latex-latex-viewpdf and you will get the references

[@geeniey1017]

+Geeniey 101 Hi Mauricio, I have worked it out and can now add citations and get the bibilography updated! :)...... But I would like to have my bibilography style: ksfh_nat .... i have added this style but still get the entries in bibilography in abbrvnat... Is there any new command needed in this case?.....

[@mauriciofernandez6014]

+Geeniey 101 hmmm... i dont know sorry. i wont be able to help since i will be in vacations for 3 weeks. sorry and good luck!

Hi Mauricio your tutorials were very helpful for me, your hard work is very much appreciated. I am using TexMaker editor it is not able distinguish between American and British English spell, and is there any way to check for grammar of the English in latex?

[@mauriciofernandez6014]

Hi! Sure, go to "Options" - "Configure Texmaker" - "Editor". There you will find under "Spelling dictionary" several options. Click on the folder. US and British are denoted there by "en_US.dic" and "en_GB.dic", respectively.

[@shivugpkumar1007]

Hi Mauricio, many thanks for the uploaded video. Very helpful!! a question. How can I write the angstrom symbol with superscript I have tried the ${\AA}$^{2} and the appearance of the symbol is very obscure (sth like italics). without superscript, I have not a problem simply {\AA} and its ok. Thanks Panagiotis

[@mauriciofernandez6014]

Hey! You have to use everything in math mode, that means, $\AA^2$, not $\AA$^2, see the difference? If oyu have any other troubles with this, check this question tex.stackexchange.com/questions/24255/angstrom-not-working Have fun!
