Description: Working in a group online is difficult if you use mathematical expressions. LaTeX is a program that allows you to make all the fancy math you want in a text and turn it into a pdf. In this workshop the TeXniCie will take you through the basics of LaTeX, you will learn how to make a document with text and mathematical expressions. You don't need any prior knowledge of LaTeX. Because of time limitations you will have to have the program already installed (see this website (a-es2.nl/latex)) and ready to use for the workshop. You could also use an online version (we recommend Overleaf) and have an account set up before the workshop. If you have any problems or questions you can reach us via 'hektex' + (at sign) + 'a-eskwadraat' + '.nl' (notation to avoid spambots picking up the address).
Practical information: You should be added to the Team on Microsoft Teams called "GSNS Master's Introduction February 2021". Our workshop will take place in channel "7. LaTeX Basics". Installation instruction are linked above. If you have any questions, feel free to send us an e-mail.

At 28 September 2020, the yearly LaTeX course will start. In four sessions, every monday at 17:15, the TeXniCie will get you familiar with LaTeX and will teach you the important know-how you'll need in your study – aside from mathematics, you will learn amongst other things about figures and references in LaTeX.

You don't need to know any LaTeX yet. We do however ask you to already install the application for LaTeX yourself, the instructions can be found on our Home page (a-es2.nl/hektex). The LaTeX course will be given completely online due to COVID-19. For this we work on a Team on Microsoft Teams. You don't need to register, just join the Team using the code lz7jzfk. Still questions? Contact us.

Till soon!

Language. The explanatory presentations by the TeXniCie will be given in Dutch. However, we happily explain the concepts to you and the other non-Dutch speaking participants individually.

Below and in the Team we will upload the manuals and exercises. The files are Dutch-only this year.

Question & Answer

Question: References don't appear in the bibliography. Biber shows this reference as (book, label). How do I fix it?
Answer: Set Biber as the default bibliography manager (see thesis manual). With some older LaTeX distributions Biber is missing. Biber is often installed in C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\x64. Is it missing? Update MiKTeX, or, in the worst case, reinstall MiKTeX.
