LaTeX Resources
General Procedure:
1. Create .tex file with a text editor (emacs, nedit, nano, vi, etc.)
2. Process .tex file using "latex2e filename.tex" on the math servers (if you're not using the math servers this command is probably just "latex")
From here you have many options:
* Turn .dvi from step 2 into a .ps of .pdf using "dvips" or "dvipdf"
* View the dvi for correctness using "xdvi" (or "gv" for .ps or "xpdf" form .pdf)
* Print the finished file using "lpr -Pprintername filename.ps or .pdf"
Sample Files:
* Lots of symbols or an even more extensive list.
* A simple latex template
* A basic .sty file containing shorthand definitions and all the junk at the top of a .tex file.
* The source for an article
Other Tips and Links:
* At the math preprint arxiv you can get the tex source of any paper.
*I personally learned LaTeX from George Gratzer's book "Math Into LATEX"
* The following guides are free and probably pretty good
