LaTeX is a powerful typesetting language often used for writing theses, dissertations, or peer-reviewed journal articles. Unlike a traditional word processor, files are written in a markup language and then run through LaTeX to apply the formatting. This allows authors to focus on their document's content, not its appearance. Preregistration required. Register through Learn @ISU. Keyword:LIB. Let us know if you require accommodation.

This hands-on workshop uses the Overleaf editor to demonstrate the basics of LaTeX. Learn how to switch from single to double-column formatting by changing a toggle. Build your reference section automatically using the citation feature. Typeset beautiful mathematical equations. Attendees will work through examples, experiment with common features and take away a list of additional resources that can be used after the workshop to explore further.
