Ok! So I myself often stumble upon documents or documentations that are really helpful for LaTeXing stuff. So I decided why not make a post like thing, so that I myself and everyone visiting the blog would be able to use these as a future reference later on . (P.S.: I do not use anywhere in the post because it just simply looks ugly imo lol.)

Here we go!

LaTeX guide/reference

So what I used for leaning LaTeX was this playlist. Although I do not completely recommend to follow this playlist fully (which I myself also did not. I just skimmed throught the videos in 2x really quickly) as it deviates from the topic of learning the basics of LaTeX a lot, but still, it's pretty good imo. TBH, I feel like there's no meaning of learning a lot of LaTeX by ownself. Most of the things can be googled pretty quickly in required times. So, it's better to google stuff which we might not know to get a rough idea of the topic. Anyways, here are some important links.

• AoPS LaTeX Symbols Chart
• LaTeX example file PDF ~Evan.
• Download Link to LaTeX example TeX file ~Evan.

Online code editor

IDK, why a few people hate Overleaf, but I myself have used both TeXMaker and Overleaf, and I felt Overleaf is a lot more user-friendly and quick .

EDIT: Bro what, I was so :crinj: back then lmao. Use latexmk to compile pdf with Sumatra PDF. Plays well with VS Code and works like a charm. USE VS CODE. #VS_CODE_SUPREMACY .

Style file

Ok! So this is an important part. I have seen and used many LaTeX style files by now from numerous authors. But the ones I liked the most were:

• evan.sty
• dylanadi.sty.

No hate, but I prefer the evan.sty more, although both of them are equally as good. Here are the basic guide to the following style files.

• evan.sty
• dylanadi.sty.

Preamble and Packages

This is again an important part. When I initially started, I came across the preamble of a file which later on I decided to copy and use it myself. As time passed, I removed and added numerous packages (most of the unused packages were removed later on). Also, I will be regularly updating this preamble of mine as I make changes in it. Here is the current copy of my preamble. It isn't that nescessary, but a few packages which were imported in the preamble from which I stole mine really changed the look of the document as it automatically altered some of the fonts. Anyways, here is my current version of my current template.

P.S.: I worked for a few days non-stop and here is the result. The new template has almost eveything I wanted the way it is. Many of the stylings from evan.sty are changed too. The only thing I couldn't do is the content, it justs keep throwing error no matter whatever I do. Yeah, anyways, you can check the links to see what I changed and merged from Senior Mars' template with evan.sty .

EDIT: Mehh, this template is worse. I do not use this anymore, I switched back to evan.sty and have my own custom template right now.

Cool documentations

Here are a few cool LaTeX documentations I happened to stumble upon (I read a lot more of such documents, but unfortunately I didn't store them before, which is the reason I felt the need of writing this post, after coming across the common LaTeX mistakes document by Evan).

• Common LaTeX mistakes ~Evan.

Here are two more links on how to LaTeX faster.

• SeniorMars' YT Video Link on how to LaTeX faster.
• Cool guide that SeniorMars' referred to in his video about taking notes during classes simultaneously in LaTeX.

That's all for this post . See you later again! .
