Have you heard of LaTeX? It is a very popular language for writing documents such as articles, reports, resumes, slides, and more. Here are the steps to start using LaTeX:
1. Choose a LaTeX Editor: Select a LaTeX editor. Popular options include:
- Overleaf: An online LaTeX editor that requires no installation.
- TeXShop: For macOS.
- TeXworks: For Windows and macOS.
- Texmaker: Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
2. Install LaTeX Distribution (if not using Overleaf):
- TeX Live: Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- MiKTeX: Another distribution for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
3. Open Your Editor: Launch your chosen LaTeX editor.
4. Create a New Document: Start a new document in your editor.
5. Basic Document Structure: Write the basic structure of a LaTeX document:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Hello, LaTeX!
\end{document}6. Compile the Document: Save your document with a .tex extension and compile it to generate a PDF. In most editors, there is a “Compile” or “Run” button.
However, the easiest way to use LaTeX is to create an Overleaf account and use the templates available on Overleaf. For example, you can use this CV template: CV.
