Getting Started with LaTeX
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.
