Data Bytes - Introduction to LaTeX and Overleaf (Zoom)

LaTeX is a typesetting system for producing technical documents and is an important document standard in a number of disciplines. LaTeX gives authors more flexibility and control than other word processing software, but is less intuitive for first time users. This workshop will cover basic use of the text editor and introduce the markup language of LaTeX. Participants will gain a basic understanding of how to use LaTeX to create documents, how to write and format text, formatting equations, inserting figures, and creating a bibliography. We will use the Overleaf LaTeX text editor, which is a cloud-based LaTeX authoring software and does not require installing any software ahead of time. This workshop will also cover collaborative authoring and connecting your Overleaf project to GitHub.
