(c) For Mac OS: Emacs, TeXshop, TeXpad, AUCTeX, Kile (beta), Texmaker, TeXstudio,
Vim, Latexian, ...

1.2 How to use LATEX?

In order to use LATEX one should create a file containing both the text as well as the instructions
to tell LATEX how you want to print the contents. We normally create this file using system’s text
editor. Several open source editors can be obtained from the Internet. We are free to give any name
for the file, but it should be ended with the extension ‘.tex” to identify the file’s contents, and also
there should not be any blank space in the file name. We then get LATEX or PdfLATEX (compilers are
installed with TEX distribution software) to process the file, and it generates a new file of typesetting
commands; this has the same name as our file but the ”.tex” ending is replaced by “.dvi” with LATEX
or “.pdf” with PdfLATEX. Some basic informations are given below:

1. Creating and saving of source file: Save as .tex, e.g., name.tex (X), name file.tex (×),
name-file.tex (X), name.file.tex (×)

2. Document class: Predefined formats such as article, report, book, letter, beamer, poster, etc.

\documentclass[options]{class}

Optional brackets-[]; Argument brackets- {}

options- 11pt, 12pt, a4paper, a0paper, twoclolumn, .......

3. Packages: added functionality such as graphics, reference style, table format, etc.

\usepackage[]{package name}

Package name- graphics, caption, ....... e.g.,

\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}

4. Main body: document contents such as text, fig., table, ref.

Some more common points which one should know:

1.3 A Sample LATEX file 3

1. Use oneside for article, and twoside and openright options in document class for re-
port/book/thesis, e.g.,
\documentclass[11pt,a4paer,twoside,openright]{report}

2. Set page margin with geometry package, e.g.,

\usepackage[top=2cm,bottom=2cm,left=2cm,right=3cm]{geometry}

3. Set line space with setspace package, e.g.,

\usepackage[option]{setspace}
option- singlespacing, onehalfspacing, doublespacing;
change spacing in particular section-
\begin{singlespace} contents..... \end{singlespace},
for any space- \begin{spacing}{value} contents......\end{spacing}

4. Use page numbering with \pagenumbering{style}, where style- roman, Roman, arabic,
alph, Alph

5. Use \usepackage{fancyhdr}\pagestyle{fancy} for creating header and footer, and

also add the given commands in the peamble-
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[LE,RO]{\thepage}
\fancyhead[RE]{\nouppercase{\leftmark}
\fancyhead[LO]{\nouppercase{\rightmark}}

6. Use three page styles: \pagestyle{fancy}, \pagestyle{plain},

\pagestyle{empty}; for single page- \thispagestyle{style}

7. Use \clearpage for onside and \cleardoublepage for twoside, these commands correct
the page numbering in the toc

8. If requires, use \phantomsection for correcting the bookmark link to the document

1.3 A Sample LATEX file

An example of LATEX file is given in fig. 1.1. It is a little bit modified sample of the standard LATEX
example file ’main.tex’. Note that the line numbers written to the left-hand side are not part of the
file, these are only added to make it easier to identify the different portions.
Remove the line numbers and save the text as main.tex. Next compile it from PdfLATEX and
then view the output:

Pdflatex main
View Pdf

1.4 Document structure

There are some necessary LATEX commands that should be appeared in each of the document.
The actual document contents always start with a \begin{document} command and ends with
an \end{document} command. LATEX ignores if anything comes after the \end{document}

command. Everything that is written before the \begin{document} command is known as the
preamble. Note that the preamble is part which only can contain LATEX commands to describe
the document’s style. One command that must be added in the preamble is the \documentclass.
This should be very first command in the preamble. It specifies the overall style for the document.
In the fig. 1.1, document class is article, and the document that you are reading was generated
with the chthes class.

1.5 Various sections

In general, technical documents are often divided into sections. Every section has a heading that
contains a title and a number for easy referencing. LATEX takes care of title spacing and numbering
for each section.
The commands that you can use are:

\chapter \subsection \paragraph

\section \subsubsection \subparagraph

Last two (paragraph and subparagraph) of the given sections are not numbered; they are just
lower level of sections. \chapter is not used ‘article’ class of the document. These commands
1.6 Common mistakes and errors 5

must be used in the given order, since sections are numbered within chapters, subsections within
sections, subsubsections are numbered within subsections. Apart from this, a seventh sectioning
command (optional command), \part, is also available. It is used to separate a large document into
series of parts and moreover it does not affect the numbering used for any of the other commands.
With command \tableofcontents, a list of contents containig the information from various
sectioning commands can be included. LATEXsould be processed twice to get a correct table of
contents.

1.6 Common mistakes and errors

• A mispelled command or environment name, e.g., \laTeX.

• A mispelled file name.

• Improperly matched braces ‘{’ and ‘}’—note that they should always come in pairs.

• Trying to type one of the ten special characters # $ % & _ { } ~ ^ \ as an ordinary

symbol.

• \end command is missed.

• A missing argument of the command (that’s is used in ‘{’ and ‘}’).

LATEX sometimes prints warning messages. They notify errors that were not bad enough to
cause LATEX to stop compiling, but however, may require to investigate the issues. ‘Overfull’ and
‘underfull’ warnings are very common problems that can be seen in the message. For example,

Overfull \hbox (17.39076pt too wide) in paragraph

shows that LATEX is not able to get a good place to break a line when laying out a paragraph.
As a consequence, it was forced to allow the line stick out into the right-hand side, in this case by
17.39076 points. However, a point is about 1/72 times of an inch so this badness could be be rather
difficult to see, but it will be there none the less. This error can be simply avoided by enclosing the
entire offending paragraph between \begin{sloppypar} and \end{sloppypar} commands.
Conversely, messages about “Underfull \hbox’es” may also appear. These are lines which
have more space inserted between words than LATEX would allow. Generally, there is not much
that we can do about these warnings. Our output will look fine, even if the lines look a little bit
stretched.

CHAPTER
Literature

A list of symbols and references can be generated with this class file. For generating of nomenclature
list, ‘MakeIndex’ program is very powerful tool which automatically generates such a list using
information provided by the author throughout the text. In the present chapter, we will see the use
of ‘BibTeX’ and ‘MakeIndex‘ programs for this class file.

2.1 How to write nomenclature

General guidelines:

1. Use \nomenclature{symbol}{description} for symbols, the best place for this com-
mand is immediately after you introduce the symbol for the first time

2. Shorten the long command:

\newcommand{\nm}[2]{\nomenclature{#1}{#2}}

3. Create compiler for nomenclature with the given code:

makeindex %.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o %.nls -t %.nlg
For TeXstudio: go to options > build > user command > write- user1: Nomenclature amd
paste the above code
For compiling the nomenclature: go to tools > user > nomenclature

2.1.1 Grouped nomenclature

1. For acronym, use:

\nmA[sorting letter]{symbol}{descritpon}
2. For roman symbol, use:
\nmR[sorting letter]{symbol}{descritpon}
3. For greek symbol, use:
\nmG[sorting letter]{symbol}{descritpon}
4. For superscripts, use:
\nmS[sorting letter]{symbol}{descritpon}
5. For subscripts, use:
\nms[sorting letter]{symbol}{descritpon}

7
8 Literature

6. For any other symbol, use:

\nmX[sorting letter]{symbol}{descritpon}
Name of other symbols can be changed with \OtherSym{Name of symbols}

2.1.2 Some examples

1. \nmA[FF]{FFA}{Free fatty acid}

2. \nmA[AO]{AOR}{Angle of repose}

3. \nmR[Ra]{$R$}{Radius of circle}

4. \nmR[ra]{$r$}{Intrinsic length}

5. \nmR[Gr]{$G_\mathrm{r}$}{Gravity}

6. \nmG[al]{$\alpha_{\mathrm{a}}$}{Angular acceleration}

7. \nmG[et]{$\eta$}{Viscosity}

8. \nmG[be]{$\beta$}{Shape factor}

9. \nmS[v]{$v$}{Vapor phase}

10. \nmS[g]{$g$}{Gas phase}

11. \nms[i]{$i$}{Indices}

12. \nms[x]{$x$}{Variable in x-direction}

13. \nmX[f]{foo}{foo

2.1.3 Compilation steps for updating nomenclature

1. pdflatex 2. makenomenclature 3. pdflatex 4. view pdf

2.2 How to generate references

General guidelines:

1. Create a new file and save it into ‘bib‘ extension, e.g., mybib.bib (X), mybib file.bib (×),
mybib-file.bib (X)

2. This file must be included without the .bib extension in the main file as:
\bibliography{mybib} (see this into Thesis.tex).

3. Write source informations in the bib file (see examples in mybib.bib file)

4. Use the given commands for citing the references-\citet{key}⇒ Author (year),
\citep{key}⇒ (Author, year), \citeauthor{key}⇒ Author,
\citeyear{key}⇒ year
2.3 Compilation steps 9

2.2.1 Some examples

Examples are taken from iitbreport-master template.

In order to say somebody did this work, use: \citet{Batzri1973}. This will produce
Batzri and Korn (1973) have done extensive work on . . .
Alternately, citations can appear in parenthesis, e.g., \citep{Batzri1973} is used to auto-
matically put the citations in parenthesis. As an example, consider the extensive work done in the
area of book writing (Boal, 2012; Sackmann, 1995).
Conferences (Richman and Martin, 1992) or collection of work (Sackmann, 1995) also have
special entries.
It is also possible to cite thesis like this: Jariwala (2000); Luding (1994) or just unpublished
work from Sunthar (2003). Some times there are unclassified bibliographic entries which can be
put under “misc” (Smith, 1999).

2.3 Compilation steps

1. pdflatex 2. bibtex (should be compiled on main file) 3. pdflatex 4. pdflatex 5. view pdf

CHAPTER
Experimental

3.1 Figure and subfigures

General guidelines:

1. Remove white spacing from the graphics as much as possible

2. Set the graphics position. This can be done with the help of placement specifiers (placement
specifier- h, t, b, ht, tb, htb, tbp, htbp, !h, !t, !b, !hb, !htb, !htbp, !tbp, where h=here, t=top,
b=bottom). See the source code.

3. If images are in a separate folder then set the path and use the below command-
\includegraphics[optional]{path/imagefile}
or use this command in the preamble:
\graphicspath{{imagepath/}},
and then use- \includegraphics[optional]{imagefile}

4. Graphics extension preferences-

(a) PDF/EPS for vector graphics (lossless)

(b) PNG for vector graphics that can not be generated, screenshots, etc (lossless)
(c) JPG for images that are taken from camera or from any other sources (lossy)

3.1.1 Figure

See fig. 3.1 and also look the source code in the exp.tex file.

3.1.2 Subfigures

See fig. 3.2 and also look the source code in the exp.tex file.

3.2 Cross-referencing
1. LATEX helps to refer almost anything that is numbered (e.g., chapter, section, figure, table,
equation, page), and it take cares of numbering with the update whenever require.

2. Clickable link can be activated with ‘hyperref’ package.

Figure 3.2: Long caption will come here. (a) Subfigure from Zhang and Huang (2011), and (b) subfigure
from Wang et al. (2009).
3.2 Cross-referencing 13

3. Crate a key for object with \label{key} and refer this object at anywhere in the document
with \ref{key}, for page- \pageref{key}, for equation- \eqref{key}.

4. Advanced package \usepackage{cleveref} can be used for cross referencing. It provides

\cref{key}, \cpageref{key}, \crefrange{key1}{key2}, etc. In the present template,
‘cleveref ’ package is used. See the examples at various places in this chapter.

5. Use tilde (~) which creats a non-breaking space, e.g., See Table~\ref{key} or
see~\cref{key}.

6. \label must be placed inside an environment with a counter, such as table, figure, equation,
etc.

7. Compile Pdflatex twice for printing the cross-references.

Results

4.1 Table and subtables

Tables can also be generated with LATEX. Generally, in the case of tables, it is a convention to write
the caption above the table, whereas in the case of figures the caption is kept below the figure.
See the source code in the res.tex file.

1. Simple table (See Table 4.1)

2. Fancy (Table 4.2)

3. Multicolumn and multirow (Table 4.3)

CHAPTER
Conclusions

5.1 Mathematics
General guidelines:

1. Inline math: text formula is displayed inline, written inside

\(formula\) or $ formula $
e.g., A parabolic expression is given as y2 = 4ax.
2. Display math: displayed formula is separated from the main text, written inside

\[formula\] or $$ formula $$
e.g., A parabolic expression is given as

y2 = 4ax

3. Numbered eq.: use equation environment

\begin{equation}
y^2 = 4ax
\end{equation}

y2 = 4ax (5.1)

4. Brackets: parentheses- ( ), square- [ ], angle- < >, braces-\{ \} → { }

e.g., $ c = a^2[1/b + \{b/a^2 + k(b^3/a^4)\}] $ ⇒
c = a2 [1/b + {b/a2 + k(b3 /a4 )}] is displayed in text math. Display math is
$$c=a^2[\frac{1}{b} + \{\frac{b}{a^2} + k(\frac{b^3}{a^4})\}]$$

1 b b3
c = a2 [ + { 2 + k( 4 )}]
b a a

5. Height of delimiters: \left[formula\right], \left(formula\right),

\left\{formula \right\}

17
18 Conclusions

$$ c = a^2\left[\frac{1}{b} + \left\{\frac{b}{a^2} +
k\left(\frac{b^3}{a^4}\right)\right\}\right] $$ ⇒

6. Trigonometric fn.:
$ sinx, cosx, tanx, secx, cosecx, cotx $ ⇒
sinx, cosx,tanx, secx, cosecx, cotx [×]
$ \sin x, \tan x, \cos x, \sec x, \cot x $ ⇒
sin x, tan x, cos x, sec x, cot x [X]
7. Exponential:
$ exp(-x)$ ⇒ exp(−x) [×] ,
\exp(-x) ⇒ exp(−x) [X]
8. Text inside math:

(a) e.g., Time period,

$ T = 2\pi\sqrt{length/gravity} $ ⇒
p
T = 2π length/gravity [×]
$ T = 2\pi\sqrt{\text{length}/\text{gravity}}$ ⇒
p
T = 2π length/gravity [X]
(b) Water density:
$\rho_w$ ⇒ ρw [×],
$\rho_\mathrm{w}$ ⇒ ρw [X]

9. Calculus:

$$ y = \int xe^{\frac{x}{2}}\,\mathrm{d}x $$ ⇒ y = xe 2 dx [X]

10. Multiple equations:

\begin{align}
\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{\sin2h}{h} =1,\\
\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{\sos h\cin h}{h} =1.
\end{align}
