Thanks for making this tutorial, i really enjoy typing out the core of my text in plain with dark backgrounds, it's so light on the eyes, and i can go on forever. Finding it a bit hard to learn everything, but it should come with time.
> _"Finding it a bit hard to learn everything..."_ yeah, same were my feelings when the college started. there is vscode, neo-vim, latex, terminal, shell, git, prompt styling, and so on and so forth. but yeah, it's worth the effort
I wish I knew how to use this when I had to write lab reports for college biology. The defaults alone are done perfectly! And it would have saved me several hours on the works cited page
This is the first latex tutorial that has the pace im looking for, i only use latex about once a year and relearning stuff on looong tutorials is pretty hard, defs saving this video for later
TeXmacs, or how to get superior typesetting (with respect to LaTeX) without needing to compile (wysiwyg math editing, wow). Would be great if Luke could make such great introductory videos for TeXmacs!
tell me about it man.. had to take a stupid Word class in college. I'd rather traverse the catacombs with a box of matches then use Word ever again in my life (or anything windows for that matter)
Can you point me to how one might achieve this? I'm running mupdf/vim side-by-side, but ofc I have to pdflatex everytime, and \p \p to close&reopen updated preview
i found a bit of a problem when generating the document , i wanted to only generate a tex file (to re-edit it later on ) and a pdf file but latex generate three different files i don't need the third one genrated (i don't remember the extension but what ever ) how can i do this ?
I'm here because I need to learn latex to have an easier time writing up mathematics for my course, yet the only workshop/tutorial that my university offers is run by "womxn in physics" and is meant to "above all, empower women" This is a top-10 university mind you
LOL you're in university? And majoring in mathematics?! Man, I hope you have an applied AI programming track in parallel... Or you're gunna' have quite the time in the current jerb market.
@@gadflyofhumanity_6847 I never said I'm majoring in mathematics, I said that I need to write up maths for my course. And I am aware of both issues and opportunities of employment in my sector, and arguably better than someone who just parrots what he saw posted online.
I know a year has passed, but he's using Arch Linux with i3 window manager. If you like this setup he has a program that install automatically called LARBS.
While I am waiting for latex to install I would like to know if it is actually pronounced LAH-TECH, or if I start saying that I am going to look like an idiot.
eablack writing maybe but for as far as I can see its writing and styling in one and I waste so much time in word on styling. also he is doing a tutorial so it will be slower. if you actually do this normally it is probably a lot faster once you get the hang of it.
If you just need to write an essay, with minimal bibliography references etc., you are probably better off doing it in word or whatever you use. LaTeX is more suited for scientific papers, with lots of bib, mathematical expressions and tables. If you have ever tried to produce an equation with complex integrals, or "weird" symbols in Word, you will really appreciate the speed of LaTeX.
Apparently it's pronounced "lah-tekh" as it is derived from Greek where "χ" (chi) is pronounced "ch" as in "loch". See the Wikipedia article "Voiceless velar fricative" for more
Haven't you said in some other video about teaching that videos shouldn't be divided into parts, since the audience tend to diminish after the first one? So I guess I'm safe to ignore what you said in such video, since not even you follow your instructions. I'm not saying that's bad though, because not everything can be compacted in say, a 30 minutes video. Take medicine videos, for example. There is so much information that you can't exclude and risk prejudicing the knowledge, so it's better to fragment the information, otherwise no one would understand shit, and sucks having to revisit the same video over, and over just to go back to where you were (in case of ridiculously long videos of 1 hour or more). Also, I don't care about my grammar, and fk if anyone cares. Ps. I'm not a hater, I'm a big fan of minimalist software too. Can't say the same about your homeless look tho. Cheers.
Volkswriter was good for bulk text entry (I found it better than Wordstar or WordPerfect), dropping the contents into a DTP for final page layout and adding the illustrations or outputting via a PDF creator for plain text. LaTeX seems rather more clumsy to use although it does have those handy features for citations etc.. Adding the illustrations to a document you are working on does slow things down. I just finished a 500 page document with 1000 illustrations and if I use greyscaled images I can work on the entire document. In colour I can't (constraints of the human lifetime). Linking the images and switching the contents of the directory with the colour version for final output does work, but I wouldn't recommend it. Also there are very few search tools that can find strings in DOC, ODT etc files which is a pain so I have to save the text separately as a txt file so I can search for stuff.

Man you've changed the way I wordprocess forever! Comfy asf
Try TeXmacs and reconsider "forever"...
Nice introduction to LaTeX! I use LaTeX daily to write papers, books and lecture notes. For papers, I prefer amsart to article.
Maybe try TeXmacs, the better way to write mathematics :-)
Done watching the video and my latex install is still at 40%
hahah shit mine was 40% too, when I saw ur comment
Switch to TeXmacs: installs faster and is far more efficient for typing maths :-)
damn true but I was busy installing the vim latex preview using my plugin manager so my download was 60%

Or use Lyx
Concise... I love it! One needs to put in extra work though to figure out how to net the functions with zero prior programming experience.
I can't take the word A E S T H E T I C seriously anymore
Try TeXmacs and the word will make sense to you again.
i rarely comment on stuff but, you sir, are a life savior
Wow, another great video.
I'm so happy that I found your channel.
TeXmacs, or how to get superior typesetting (with respect to LaTeX) without needing to compile (wysiwyg math editing, wow). Would be great if Luke could make such great introductory videos for TeXmacs!
great simple tutorial. Thank you, enough to get me started.
use the memes Luke!
Cheers man, much appreciated
I wish everyone knew how to use LaTeX. I'd never have to fight with Word Document formatting ever again...
tell me about it man.. had to take a stupid Word class in college. I'd rather traverse the catacombs with a box of matches then use Word ever again in my life (or anything windows for that matter)
You should use mupdf and send updates from a script using kill -SIGHUP $(pgrep -u $USER mupdf). mupdf better for i3 :)
Can you point me to how one might achieve this? I'm running mupdf/vim side-by-side, but ofc I have to pdflatex everytime, and \p \p to close&reopen updated preview
3:02 wohooo, glad my pdfviewer of choice got a mention (:
sumatra rocks (:
Hi there, does anyone know what font of the text he uses in the terminal?
Really good. Nice, simple and clear.
\ is backslash and / is slash ;)
But thanks for the useful video 👍
best intro to latex.
Thanks for the super useful tutorials!
Hi Luke. Great videos! Would you mind sharing your vim settings and what terminal you are using?
Hi Luke. Could you teach how to write/print hebrew characters in Latex (beamer)?? Pleaseee
You gave two returns after \section{formating} but no indentation... And then you have it on the italic example. Why?
i found a bit of a problem when generating the document , i wanted to only generate a tex file (to re-edit it later on ) and a pdf file but latex generate three different files i don't need the third one genrated (i don't remember the extension but what ever ) how can i do this ?
What operating system is this? Is this a linux distro? It looks cool!
It's Arch btw. Lurk moar.
What did he do at 2:30? ``/Works? Is that a pre defined way to open files?
2:11 to 2:13
shit... what happened here? How did he open that other input window and build/compile? I guess he is using keyboard commands......
I love you, ive needed this tutorial
Super helpful. Btw what wm were you using
@AndrewYu, back then he was using i3-gaps
Main character from Bards Tale explains computer gibberish
How do I save? I don't have a file when I back out
:wq is the command in vim, in case you don't know already after 2 months
:w is the write command, and :q is quit, :wq is write and quit, :q! is quit without writing changes
I'm here because I need to learn latex to have an easier time writing up mathematics for my course, yet the only workshop/tutorial that my university offers is run by "womxn in physics" and is meant to "above all, empower women"

and your problem is? you can't participate in the workshop or you don't want to?
@@3nt3_ i don't blame him not wanting to go, sounds like political people trying to teach, run away! save your T levels hahaha
@@josephmelborne2740 what? Teaching women to use LaTeX is bad now?
great video man thank you
I might have missed a video in which you stated why you like Latex... Have you tried Asciidoc?
Anyone knows what is this version of Latex (editor or wtv)? trying to get started with it but mine is different and i prefer the way this one looks
He is using Vim
great desktop background
What Linux distro are you using and how do you get your status bar to look like that with those colours?
he uses Arch btw
title: \section \subsection
format: \textbf{haha} \textit{haha} \emph{haha} \underline{haha}
Awesome dude!!
what is yous linux distributions?
Arch Linux or Parabola.
The quote stuff is inevitable anyways if you write in a language that puts opening quotes at the bottom, rather than at the top, like ending quotes.
I know a year has passed, but he's using Arch Linux with i3 window manager. If you like this setup he has a program that install automatically called LARBS.

so i need to learn 1st how to move whit Vim?? srry if its stupid xd
2:33 open_with command
How do you make your LaTeX editor look like this???
Thank you man, gonna download it rn
Its Vim. After opening write ":set relativenumber" for if u want line numbers as you see in the video.
Tripin ``balls'' now
3:00 pdf viewer
Please tell me you have your environnent config to share (i3, vim, maybe tutorial on how to have such nice evt)
Of course I did not fucking look at other videos I would have seen that it's already the case...
Lol. Welcome to the channel.
Luke Smith thanks :D
my dude what Linux distro is that, looks beautiful!
Shandy Sulen Customized arch
@MJS no he's using i3-gaps
ArchLinux
\emph == "Emphasis".
Love your voice! ( No homo )
Nice video
Shrinking discspace gives me so much anxiety it's not funny
Why in English you pronounce Latex like `latek` is funny haha
LAAAAAAAAHTEC
LAHTEC KICKED IN YOOOO
A Boomer Presentation.
It looks much slower than writing in Word. :( But i will try because i like you
