$Id: README 7131 2017-11-14 23:45:25Z cfrees $ LaTeX I & II ============ LaTeX I and II are a series of workshops provided by Cardiff University's Doctoral Academy (previously the University Graduate College). The materials used for the workshops ['this project'] are provided here. LaTeX I and II are a modified and extended version of materials produced by UK TUG volunteers ['original project'] for a course provided for beginning LaTeX users. The materials were adapted for LaTeX I and II by Clea F. Rees. Both the original work and modifications are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/). The original project is available as a GitHub repository maintained by Joseph Wright from https://github.com/uktug/latex-beginners-course/. LaTeX I consists of a single day-long workshop introducing the fundamentals of LaTeX and enabling students to begin producing documents of their own. LaTeX II is designed to build on the knowledge and skills gained by completing LaTeX I (or equivalent) and includes four workshops: 1. Macros 2. Biblatex/Biber 3. Beamer 4. Floats ; Plotting Data [The second half of the fourth is based on student preferences, so may vary.] Summary of Changes ================== + The file README.markdown from the original project is included as UK-TUG-README.markdown. + Files required to build the project with make and to produce HTML are omitted from the modified project. However, the current project includes a **highly experimental** Makefile for possible use on Unix-ish systems. + The modified project uses a set of common configuration files. + The format of slides, handouts and tutor notes have been customised. * The handouts originally used US letter paper. This is corrected in the modified project. * The margin sizes have been increased so that notes for tutors are included in the printable area of the page. + Material on BibTeX is converted into a workshop on Biblatex/Biber. Adaption included preparation of a Biblatex 'cheat sheet', now published on CTAN. * Diagrams are redrawn using TikZ. * Considerable material has been added for all topics in LaTeX II and appendices have been added to supplement the handouts. * An initial appendix for LaTeX I is also included. * The fourth workshop in LaTeX II includes a new section on the use of pgfplots to plot graphs from external data. + Further changes were made where necessary to adapt the materials for local conditions. Prerequisites ============= Either links or copies of the files pgfplotsexample.tex and pgfplotsexample.pdf are required to compile the documents for the fourth workshop. These are part of the pgfplots package, available from CTAN at http://ctan.org/pkg/pgfplots To add the files or links, create a sub-directory at gweithdy-da-2-pellach/handouts and place the two files or links there. In a Unix-ish environment with a standard TeX Live installation cd <top level of working copy of project> mkdir -p gweithdy-latex-da-2-pellach/handouts pushd gweithdy-latex-da-2-pellach/handouts ln -s $(kpsewhich -var TEXMFDIST)/doc/latex/pgfplots/pgfplotsexample.* ./ popd where <top level of working copy of project> is an appropriate path should do the job.
