LaTeX Example

Here's my example set of LaTeX files to create paper.ps

:

• paper.tex - Here's the "main" program
• intro.tex - First included file
• meat.tex - Second included file
• conc.tex - Last included file
• maxround.ps - Example included graphic
• bib.bib - Bibliographic database

To use this, do the following:

1. Download the example files into a single directory
2. latex paper (ignore warnings since LaTeX is a one-pass compiler)
3. bibtex paper (this integrates bibliographic DB entries)
4. latex paper
5. latex paper (this run should get rid of warnings)
6. dvips -f paper.dvi > paper.ps (generates postscript copy of paper)You can view the dvi version of the paper with "xdvi paper.dvi" or thepostscript version with "ghostview paper.ps".

   If you makes changes to any of the files, you only need to run LaTeXand dvips once to regenerate the postscript.The best book I have found so far on LaTeX is A Guide to LaTeX byHelmut Lopka and Patrick W. Daly
