LaTeX 作为排版工具,在学术或科技类稿件的排版中难以替代,也在常规出版物排版中占有一席之地。其最为人称道之处是,美观的数学公式排版与稳定的 PDF 输出格式。同时,LaTeX 是免费开源的,经过多年的沉淀,已拥有功能丰富的宏包支持与活跃的技术社区。

LaTeX 是基于 TeX 的,具有如下的诸多优点:

  • 排版出来就是印刷品,专业而美观;

  • 易用、全面的数学排版支持,无出其右;

  • 撰写文档时不会被文档排版细节干扰,你可以使用之前自定义的模板,或者方便地在文字组织完毕后调整你的模板,以轻松达到满意的效果;

  • 复杂的排版功能支持,比如图表目录、索引、参考文献管理、高度自定义的目录样式、双栏甚至多栏排版;

  • 丰富的功能以及易寻的帮助文档,众多的 LaTeX 宏包赋予了 LaTeX 强大的扩展功能,它们都自带文档供你学习;

  • 源文件是文本文件,你可以在任何设备、任何文本编辑器中书写文档内容,无须担心复制时格式的变化,最后粘贴到同一个 tex 文件中编译即可;

  • 跨平台,免费,开源。

LaTeX is a high-quality typesetting system; it includes features designed for the production of technical and scientific documentation. LaTeX is the de facto standard for the communication and publication of scientific documents. LaTeX is available as free software.

You don’t have to pay for using LaTeX, i.e., there are no license fees, etc. But you are, of course, invited to support the maintenance and development efforts through a donation to the TeX Users Group (choose LaTeX Project contribution) if you are satisfied with LaTeX.

LaTeX is not a word processor! Instead, LaTeX encourages authors not to worry too much about the appearance of their documents but to concentrate on getting the right content. For example, consider this document:

LaTeX Features

  • Typesetting journal articles, technical reports, books, and slide presentations.

  • Control over large documents containing sectioning, cross-references, tables and figures.

  • Typesetting of complex mathematical formulas.

  • Advanced typesetting of mathematics with AMS-LaTeX.

  • Automatic generation of bibliographies and indexes.

  • Multi-lingual typesetting.

  • Inclusion of artwork, and process or spot colour.

  • Using PostScript or Metafont fonts.

本课程紧密结合书中内容,逐章节的进行实践和演示,并适时补充相关内容和知识,对于希望从头开始学习LaTeX科学排版的同学和朋友,可以作为循序渐进的学习实践工具。
