Notes About Using TeX and LaTeX
Copyright © 2007 by Zack Smith,

These are just some random notes that I have yet to organize.

  • To ensure that a paragraph remains with the next one, use \nobreak.
  • To collect a bunch of text into one vertical unit, use \vbox.
  • To make color backgrounds and text, it's \usepackage{xcolor}.
  • The underline feature is not liked by originators of TeX, but if you have no underhanging letters like y, p, g, or q, you can use \underline{text}.
  • Greek characters are available via math mode, e.g. $\Delta$H.
  • Arrows are $\rightarrow$, $\leftarrow, $\rightleftarrow$.
  • Implication symbol is $\Rightarrow$.
  • Degrees symbol is \textdegree.
