  • Some examples of LaTeX files:
  1. barebones.tex
  2. A multiple choice quiz

PSTricks

On the Mac version - if this line is the first line of the a document using pstricks:

% !TEX TS-program = latex

the document can be typeset with Latex (the normal way it works in TexShop) instead of XeLaTex (the option we found in the Monday lab). [Thanks, Louise!]

Setting up a webpage

  • Ingredients:
  1. Server space (at your school, or rent for about $20 per month)
  2. An IP address such as 69.13.193.155 (comes with 1.)
  3. A domain name such as www.utep.edu (comes with 1., or about $20 a year)
  4. An FTP client such as WinSCP to transfer files
  5. A Telnet/SSH client such as Tunnelier (Tunnelier also has an ftp client built in) or PuTTy
  6. Now you can install software to put Mathematics on the web such as latex2html (old-fashioned) or MathJax. Examples: MathJax demos | a webpage made with latex2html.
  7. Or use a pre-canned web authoring tool such as MediaWiki: \[\int_0^1 x^2\,dx.\] MediaWiki has numerous extensions for different file types such as images, GeoGebra files, videos, and can even integrate Matematica CDF files.
  8. To write web pages from scratch you have to learn the basics of the HTML language, or use some authoring software such as Adobe Dreamweaver.
