Course Purpose
Quick guide to essential tricks to improve your productivity with LaTeX when writing the TFG (or other academic documents such as thesis, reports, books, etc.) and obtaining professional results.
You will learn how to install quickly LaTeX and all the auxiliary tools necessary to make your computer a digital layout artist generation of documents capable of:
- prepare content indexes, figures, tables, terms, etc.;
- auto number figures, tables, code snippets, equations, and other items;
- generate cross references, citations, bibliography;
- control changes, versions and their storage in the cloud;
- … and much more.
All this regardless of the operating system you use (Windows, MacOS, Linux,...) and the power of your computer, since even on modest computers the results can be professional. As if that were not enough, all the tools that we will use are free and free!
Who is the course for?
For any member of the university community (students, professors, researchers, etc.), whether their profile is technical or not. The only requirement is to have a computer connected to the Internet and have basic user knowledge. If you are an advanced user you may be surprised by the LaTeX tricks you will learn.
Development and course material
The course will take place in a classroom at the Escuela Superior de Informática (ESI-C.Real) with available computers. However, it is recommended that you use your own equipment to install the course software based on personal preferences and needs. The auxiliary material of the course (notes, examples, templates, auxiliary software, etc.) will be available in electronic format through Virtual Campus.
