5  Writing Your Document

You can start writing your document directly in the text editor using LaTeX syntax. Here are some basic LaTeX commands to get you started:

• Document Structure: Begin with a preamble where you specify the document class, packages, and settings. The main content of your document is enclosed between \begin{document} and \end{document} tags.
• Sections and Subsections: Use commands like \section{} and \subsection{} to organize your document into sections and subsections.
• Text Formatting: Apply formatting such as bold, italics, and underline using commands like \textbf{}, \textit{}, and \underline{} respectively.
• Lists: Create itemized or numbered lists using the itemize or enumerate environments.
• Math Equations: LaTeX excels at typesetting mathematical equations. Use the $ … $ or [ … ] delimiters for inline or displayed equations respectively.
• Figures and Tables: Insert figures and tables using the and table environments respectively.
