LaTeX seems really nice, I'd love to make all my docx documents in Terminal and finally be able to get rid of Word. However, it is quite hard to find documentation or a beginner's tutorial. Thank you!
Well I think the problem with learning LaTeX is that there's too much documentation on every single pacakge so people never know where to start! My advice would be to learn what you need as you need it for a document. The logic to LaTeX becomes clear after you get messy with it.
@@LukeSmithxyz hey Luke, i am quite impressed with markup languages and the whole workflow. For example, I like markdown for basic formatting, Katex for maths equations, mermaid for flowcharts... I am just getting started with Latex, and it however, while totally fantastic with defaults, the modifications to defaults "feel" more like hacks... It might very well be due to that i am just getting started with it, but anyways. like take css for example, in CSS, you wanna change a property - u write the property, and you write the value. done. While CSS is a different scenario, but i'd still like to see some discussion / comparison on these 2. and if something like above mentioned behaviour of CSS can be done in a typesetting environment too - be it *TeX or any other thing
I think hes always been the way he is but now speaks more freely about it in addition to enacting life style changes. Dude makes very informative content about software and I find his insights into leading a more independent lifestyle interesting and somewhat reflective of my own but his political conclusions and the ways he thinks about other people are pretty nutty. He also thinks he is more subtitle than he really is.
@@TheConfinedObserver I don't think he's ever talked about politics on the main channel. He's talked about lifestyle stuff, but not any policies or comments on specific issues. In fact, I think he made a series of blog articles on why he doesn't.
Your bitrate was set too high. You used 31GB on a largely static video that's only 19 minutes. 3500kbps would've been more than enough for this kind of video at 1080p
Thanks you a lot Sir, I know extremely low about LaTeX, but I am interested in the awesome world of Markup...I have to make my resume also...LaTeX will make the way simple
Hello, great tutorial and got me trying LaTeX again :) But can you tell/explain how you got that 'auto-preview' thing working? Or did I miss something?
I use Arch Linux (and vim as an editor), so I took advantage of this in the AUR: aur.archlinux.org/packages/vim-live-latex-preview I think there's a github for it too. It works with mupdf and does biblatex references automatically. If you use a Windows or Mac machine, I'm less familiar with the autocompile options there, so you might want to look some up yourself.
Thank you. I use Calculate/Gentoo myself and it's not in the repositories. I will try the github version, but it hasn't been updated in quite a while.....
12:50 "rn, it looks like something mutated and in between" oh lol yeah, i was thinking on same lines, i like the transition though and ability to control the stage of transition😌
Does he have a video on that live preview setup ? It's nice to have quick visual feedback like that. I have it compile and update on save but his setup does it more often.
He's touched on it in an earlier vid, but basically follow the instructions of your chosen vim plugin manager - then it's a matter of making a key binding for it (have a look at his github repo for vimrc or init.vim)
he's using zathura and vim-live-latex-preview or something like that. there are different ways and package to help you have a live latex compiler I'm using nvim with vimtex which is really easy to set, so thats the one i recommend
@"Luke Smith" I know I just pestered you on another video of yours, but I've been having difficulty getting an answer on this topic, as most people don't use i3: I see what appears to be a volume logo, and it's steadily decreasing at a _significantly_ high rate. Is that because screen capture eats up that much of a volume??
That's my remaining disk space. It's shrinking because I'm recording at a very high fidelity. (Don't worry, someone has asked me that on nearly every screencast lol.)
Hey Luke, This is great, But it's been a while, can you remake the whole tutorial serial for LaTeX Beginner with inclution of book writing, articles, modern CV, it will be really great help to many people.
@Luke Smith How do you show the preview on the right window in Emacs. Every time I need to open the x.pdf in the single process. How can I do to show the preview effect like your way?
*Great tutorial! Thanks! I still hate LaTeX.* I get the benefits of superior formatting, but I don't understand why LaTeX users keep insisting that LaTeX is oh so easy. If it were easy, you wouldn't have to keep saying so all the time. Easy is the one adjective I would never associate with this.
Nobody is saying it's easy, quite the contrary we acknowledge it has quite a steep learning curve. What we are saying is that once you know it, everything becomes so seemless and effective. One thing that Luke doesn't talk about (but he should) is snippets. Once you've mastered using vim, latex and ultisnipps everything else literally becomes unusable. I personally believe investing 2 weeks to make 3 years of thesis writing seamless, is worth it.
'sup Luke, I have a question. I'm told it's better to include a picture in the resume, but although trying hard to wrap one in the text, I find it really hard to put in on top (maybe next to the tile?): wrapfigure obliterates the formatting and it interferes with the (\titlerule)s of the sections. Any suggestions would be very appreciated. Keep up the good work!
Not an answer to your question but, your resume should definitely not include your picture, your CV may but even that is not preferred (and those two are different in case you did not know). I think it may just depend on what job you are applying to and what part of the world you are in.
why is my {$\bullet$}, and {\thesection} thing not working? it doesn't output error either - neither the bullet in pdf? Basically, my second argument of \titleformat {} {?-not working} {} {}. WHYYYY? It would be very kind of you sir, if you have any guidance regarding my potential mistakes. P.S. SIRE, You(esp. your portfolio) are awesome.
JoeJoeTater He is using i3 window manager! I messed about with it on Ubuntu Mate Looks so ugly by default but if you find a neat looking config online you can just copy the code that changes the colors and things And he is using muPDF I think He said it in the video at one point towards the end!
awesome video making LaTeX appear much more approachable, but copying code from a youtube video is no fun at all. Creating a gist or pastebin for the code you end up with would be really great.

You can take help from here:

your latex build setup is very seemless. How did you do that
Good stuff, looking forward to Part 2. :)

I can stare that wallpaper for hours because it is staring like you have done something wrong jeez 😅
only this was left in my life. Latex used for template for resume.
5:20 how did you fold that?
I would like to know what kind of editor do you use? It looks more convenient than Texworks. lol
That's vim. Nowadays he uses neovim
Is there a video how he made his Linux like this? This is so damn nice
Search and learn about tiling window managers.
@zdringy Imagine getting to they point where you can geuinely say that i3 is bloated

Doesn’t TexStudio do this automatically?
Why is his disk space module showing a continuous decrease?
Because he's recording

For me its easier than word or libreoffice haha
It is not that easy, I hate searching in forums just to see if it will work.
There are complements you can add to Word and enjoy the GUI convenience.

how does he create tags immediately such in 2:24 ?
he created vim macros for those, using inoremap (or nnoremap) AFAIK

Hey i am using kde manjaro (archlinux based) . How do i get my windows as you do?

What font do you use?
I LOVE UR FUCKING LINUX MEMES
why not uae JAke's resume as a template?
How do I install latex.
Why [runin] command isn't working for me? Any idea? By the way nice tutorial.
For anyone else looking, it wasn't working for me because I put it on the first option on the new line, instead of the {\section} option.
Thanks m8 for these memes.
What window manager is that? (Also, what are you using to preview your documents?)

Looks so ugly by default but if you find a neat looking config online you can just copy the code that changes the colors and things
