LateX#1

Joey pointed me out on using LateX to solve cross referencing problem... I found this problem really irritating when I have to improve my literature survey..

Here goes my LateX journey.. I did install this software years back but I never use it since the size is HUGE and I do not have any purpose to use it.

Penggunaan Latex amat popular di kalangan kawan-kawan yang giat menyiapkan tesis dan kertas persidangan mereka. Saya baru je nak guna latex ni so ada beberapa opsyen

1- Install Lyx, MikeTex dan sokongan kamus Aspell (ada BM, lama dulu MIMOS buat)
2- Install Latex guna cygwin

Saya menghadapi masalah guna GUI Latex (Lyx) pada 1) pada mulanya ... so pergi kepada opsyen baris arahan pada Cygwin. Kadang-kadang installer yang datang dengan bulk pada Lyx memerlukan anda memasang pakej satu persatu


$ latex.exe -v

Secara default Latex akan menghasilkan format DVI ... jadi jika anda menginginkan PDF contohnya... gunakan DVPDF.

Contoh saya ada satu fail (diubahsuai dari sampel di Internet)

$ cat test.tex
\documentclass{article}
\title{Jemputan Berbuka Puasa 1430H}
\author{Ahmad Albab}
\date{i13 September 2009}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
Buka Puasa Beramai-ramai!
\end{document}

Fail .tex ini adalah RAW macam raw meat, belum dikompil. Guna baris arahan latex;

$ latex test.tex

Maka akan terhasil test.dvi

$ ls *.dvi
test.dvi

Anda perlukan DVI reader untuk membaca terus.. tetapi kalau tak ada... macam saya sebut tadi... guna PDF reader selepas mengubah DVI ke PDF

$dvipdf test.dvi


(lebih mudah jika anda gunakan pdflatex disebabkan kebanyakan kita menggunakan PDF reader berbanding DVI)
