The LaTeX Language

Some Fundamentals

Special Characters
  • Some characters reserved:
        #   $   %   &   ~   _   ^   \  {   }
  • These should not appear as part of your text: if they do TeX will get confused. Instead use
        \#    \$    ...    \textbackslash    $\backslash$
TeX Commands
  • begin with \;
  • are case-sensitive;
Some commands have arguments, some don't:
\begin{document}
Here is an {\it italicised phrase\/} in the middle of a sentence.
\end{document}
