Mon Feb 04 2002 13:28:13PM modified by: tjn Tim, Here's an example document with several parts. You can print it if you like to see what the actual document looks like. I typically use syntax highlighting under 'vim' so it's easier to read. (Note, I call 'vim', 'vi' interchangably b/c I typically work under Linux and that's what you get.) I've just tar'd up a couple of files. They are: figs/cexec.eps -- example figure I ripped from a paper we had. Makefile -- simple Makefile (I use them to save on typeing) MYBIB.bib -- example BibTeX file (used for citations/bibs) quick_example.tex -- simple LaTeX document discussing my experience with the system. I just needed something to say while I was showing you an example, instead of the bland, blah, blah..l;akjl;kjadsf stuff. You can generate a Postscript file from this by typing the following commands. tjn: $ pwd /home/tjn/quick_example tjn: $ make tjn: $ make ps tjn: $ gv quick_example.ps & tjn: $ make cleanall Note, I have put mucho comments in the various docs so when in doubt look at the source files and it should be in the comments. Otherwise just ask me or check the websites. Also, you can almost seemlessly generate PDF files. There's some issue with including graphics that I've not figured out yet b/c I typically just use *.ps files but if you comment out the following line in the *.tex file and then do the same steps as above, but instead of 'make ps' type 'make pdf' you'll get a 'quick_example.pdf' file. Comments start with a "%" in LaTeX. (You can view under Linux by typing, 'xpdf quick_example.pdf.) \fbox{\includegraphics[height=2.5in,keepaspectratio=true]{figs/cexec.eps}} Ok, well that just about does it. I just assume you're using Linux. I'm running RedHat Linux 7.1 here so I know this stuff should work on that system assuming the 'tetex' stuff was installed. (By checking either everything or publishing in the install.) Party on! --tjn
