DIY LaTeX tutorial:
Style files, exercises and documentation






LaTeX:


Starting out:
Creating basic documents

GSWLaTeX.ps Getting Started With LaTeX, a "how-to" by David Wilkins.
exercise-example.ps Exercises to go with the GSWLaTeX document. These should help you get the hang of creating simple documents: try to create each of the samples
exercise-answers.ps The answers to the above exercises

Slightly more advanced:
Customising your documents

how-to-latex.ps A how-to by me that covers customising your document, creating a bibliography, working with "floats" (figures and tables) and some linguistics-specific tools.
kurt.eps, so-sho-styl.tex Files needed for doing some of the exercises in "how-to-latex".
harvard.sty A useful bibliography package.
natbib.sty An even more useful bibliography package.
agsm.bst A bibliography style file that is compatible with both harvard.sty and natbib.sty.

Theses

edthesis2e.cls A LaTeX2e thesis class file adapted from "adfathesis.cls" to meet Edinburgh University (and Linguistics) thesis regulations.
edthesis2e-readme.ps The "readme" file that accompanies the edthesis2e class file. When it says "readme", it really does mean it.
edthesis2e-template.tex A template to help you get started with "edthesis2e".
taalthesis.cls Another LaTeX2e thesis class file adapted from "infthesis" to meet Edinburgh University (and Linguistics) thesis regulations.
taalthesis-readme.ps The "readme" file that accompanies the taalthesis class file. When it says "readme", it really does mean it.
taalthesis-template.tex A template to help you get started with "taalthesis".
eushield.eps, eushield.sty Files needed for inserting the Edinburgh logo on the front of your thesis when using "taalthesis".
example.bib File needed for LaTeXing the above two template documents.

Useful documentation

tipaman.pdf A .pdf manual for tipa.sty, an IPA style file.
natbib.ps A .ps manual for natbib, "a reimplementation of the LaTeX \cite command". Includes a nice review of what other citation styles can and can't do.
