Introduction to Latex-part:1

LET US BEGIN!


Yes guys its Latex (and its pronounced as "LAH-TECH")! This very programming language created by Donal Knuth is used to typeset your documents attractively and consistently.

You may think "why do i need to type so much codes to create a document while i can do it with my user friendly MS-Word or open office Writer? I can simply convert it into PDF by saving it in pdf format in MS, or just by clicking the convert to pdf in open office or better use a doPdf application!"

But dear friend i would say that Latex gives me a care free attitude when i am preparing my document. You see when we use the Word or Writer application, we need to give a greater care for the alignment, paragraph spacing, line spacing, different fonts, page numbers, foot notes, citations, even for inserting pictures. More over the style of document that Latex gives you is like a professional document. If you are in a competitive environment the document prepared using Latex will give you an upper hand over the ordinary documents.

Look more for my blogs to catch up with Latex!
