Introduktionkursus til LaTeX

Den 30. april skal jeg afholde et introduktions kursus i latex for IDA på Ingeniør Højskolen i København. Her på denne side vil jeg samle henvisninger til de materialer der skal benyttes under kurset.

Installing a latex editor on windows

This requires that latex (eg. MikTeX) has been installed.

1. Download TexnicCenter from: here
   
2. Run the installer.
3. Set path to your MikTeX installation (something like "C:\Programmer\MiKTeX 2.6\miktex\bin\")
   
4. Select output profile: "LaTeX => PDF"
   
5. Extract my template document and open the file doc\project.tex in TexnicCenter and try to compile it with pdflatex.
6. During the compilation miktex will ask for permission to install some required packages (fancyhdr, listings, caption, subfig, pgf, xcolor, xkeyval)
7. In case of trouble install the missing packages via: Start -> All program -> MikTeX 2.6 -> Browse packages
8. Your document should now have been compiled, examine the generated .pdf file.

Linux

Installing latex on linux (ubuntu)

1. Install the packages: texlive

Todo notes in Latex as a package

The package has been updated, find the new version at http://midtiby.blogspot.com/2008/07/todonotes-version-2008-07-28.html.

I have transformed the previously described script into a latex package (pheww, this is my first package, so there may exists some rough edges ...). The source for the package is given below.

The package currently takes three arguments
* disable = [true, false] if false the package will only define empty commands, so no output from the embedded todo commands are generated, but you document will compile
* color = [color values accepted by pgf] Defines the background color of the todonotes and the line connecting the todo note with the place it was inserted in the test.
* bordercolor = [color values accepted by pgf] Defines the border color of the todonotes.

I use the following line to import the package to a document.

\usepackage[
disable=false,
color=orange!80,
bordercolor=black]
{todonotes}

I hope that someone will find this usefull.
