TeX Sources and Utilities
- CTAN, the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network attempts to have
everything: packages, fonts, etc.
- CTAN Web Home Page
( List of
CTAN sites, worldwide )
- TeX and LaTeX Catalogue Packages and Tools (same as above).
-
Including Graphics in LaTeX by K. Hoppner.
- Viewing TeX/LaTeX files on the Internet. Two reasonable procedures
are to convert to a PDF file or to use a program that converts to html.
- Convert to PDF (my preference): save the document as a pdf file,
either by converting the .ps file to .pdf using, say, ps2pdf (on
Unix/Linux) or else by using pdflatex. I use ps2pdf. While pdflatex
has some advantages, it is a bit buggy and it's pdf files are longer.
- TeX/LaTeX to html converters (see also
W3 Org's Math. Page --
primarily discusses MathML).
One standard uses LaTeX2HTML
This converts non-text (such as formulas) to gif that all WWW graphic
browsers can display. Useful but far from perfect.
- Making SLIDES: Use "beamer" or "prosper." They come with a number of
predefined styles. See
Beamer (and
Beamer article) and
Introduction to
Prosper. Beamer seems to be simpler so you might try that first.
Before you embark on writing your own prosper syple, look at the
prosper defaults.
Some people might prefer the package "talk". It has simple defaults,
especially it lets you change between styles very easily for individual slides.
- Check out
amsrefs 2.0, a LaTeX extension package (an alternative to BibTeX)
for use in preparing bibliographies.
Also try MRef,
a tool for creating standard references with links to MathSciNet.
- test.dvi Test if you can view
TeX dvi files. If you can view dvi files outside of WWW, you
should be able to see this by adding dvi as a MIME type.
