Minimal example
This example shows some simple features of latex. It is supposed to work on the unix system here at Pollacksbacken:
- Download it to your home folder, or rather a suitable subfolder thereof.
- Open up a terminal and navigate to the directory where you downloaded the archive.
- Unpack the file using the command tar -xvzf example.tar.bz
- Compile the document using pdflatex example.tex
- Open the resulting pdf using your favourite pdfviewer, for example with the command acroexch example.pdf
Now, hack away, using example.tex as your inspiration.
