It's the very first day for me to work on project and i am quite excited to do it with full efforts. The thing i found that a document that we usually use to write in word processors like open office, ms office are basiccaly consisted of two parts
1) Document Contents
2) Style sheet of Doucument
The Style Sheet of Document is sheet consisting of all the different formatting options like whether a line is bold or italicised etc.
So, If we are able to edit that sheet than we can make a simple text document to a charming and graphically enhanced presentation and that too without copying text into your presentation softwares.
One question arises that how can we able to edit a css(cascading style sheet) for a document. This solution has been provided by Mr. Donald Knuth who developed a language called TEX(pronounced /ˈtɛx/ as in Greek, often /tɛk/ in English)which provides a typesetting system that allows you to write your document as well as presentation from it by just changing commands not the text.
Latex(pronounced /ˈleɪtɛk/, /ˈleɪtɛx/, /ˈlɑːtɛx/, or /ˈlɑːtɛk/) is document markup language based on typesetting system. I hereby discuss how to use latex and its various commands that let you design your document of your own choice.
We all have studied Mathematics in Secondary levels. Had you ever noticed that how sign of integration, psi and chi etc. are used. Check it out your any word processor you can find only limited set of mathematical symbols. To overcome this problem Latex was designed and now it has become so popular that most of publisher uses it when they need typesetting of a document.
For a moment click on LOGO given below to see a logo created with latex::::
With simple wordprocessor you cant create such a logo for this there is Latex.
Make your .tex file with Latex file get it compiled by latex tool in your system and then convert to format of your choice. the .tex file contains some set of commands that describe the structure of the logo.
So, You have to make effort only once while designing your .tex file with suitable editor. After that if you want to change your file view like you want your file look like presentation you just need to change some commands, recompile it and get output. No Need of Changing text, no need of moving text, no need of copying and pasting. So, It's quite useful.
