What is LaTeX?
LaTeX is a typesetting system that produces PDF documents that look professional, aesthetic and user-friendly.
听
Why learn LaTeX?
LaTeX has particular advantages for academic writing, including linguistics. LaTeX can easily handle bibliographies, glossed examples, texts with multiple languages or scripts (including special characters and symbols), diagrams (e.g. syntax trees and syllable diagrams) and听 tables (e.g. OT tableau) - the list is endless. LaTeX not only makes typesetting easier but it is also required or preferred by many journals as it saves considerable time for editors.
听
Who is the workshop for?
The workshop is designed to introduce beginners to LaTeX with a focus on tools commonly needed in linguistics. No prior knowledge of LaTeX is needed for this course.
听
Workshop requirements and outline
The workshop will be conducted as a mixture of live demonstrations and hands-on exercises for you to implement what you are learning. As such,听you will require a laptop.听
