When I first learned LaTeX in college, my professor explained that 'true' users can be distinguished from posers or newbs/noobs because they pronounce it latech. I hear you pronounce it latex instead. What is your opinion on this cultural caveat?
sometimes the code you use doesn't work in my computer .I don't know how it worked on yours. like @41:00 your code gave me an error. But when i used this code \begin{tabular}{ccc} \multicolumn{2}{c}{Name} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Age}\\ First & Last & \\ \hline Derek &Banas & 44\\ Sally & smith & 42\\ \end{tabular} then i got the same table that you made .But anyways even this code i learnt from your video @38:30. So thanks
Thanks you a lot Derek for this high quality tutorial. I wanted to suggest that you add timestamps to video itself. I know there are on the website, but it would be a lot easier for us viewers to find the needed timestamp for specific questions. Thank you in advance.
@@lovely-shrubbery8578 It can be pronounced either way; TeX is pronouned "tek" or "tech" (same thing), but you can pronounce the La as "Lah" or "Lay" or however else you want
@@IllumTheMessage In fact, no. The typesetting quality is better and it has a wysiwyg interface (without the disadvantages of Word). Did you try TeXmacs? It would be great to have some good introductory videos. The existing ones are not as good as Derek's one.
YOURE AMAZING!! Thank you so much! I’m just starting to get into programming etc and I just needed to have an idea on what LaTeX was- now I’m absolutely intrigued and want to know more :) thank you!
I know the nerd community's divided as to wether LATEX is a programming language or not; I won't take a stance in the controversy, going just as far as to say that it definitely is a "language" with its own syntax. Now, as for Mr. Banas, well, this video's incredibly helpful for all of us who want to learn LATEX the easy and quick way. I think someone is due to assert that Mr. Banas is very simply a genius because of: 1) The scope of material he covers in his MANY videos. 2) The simple, straightforward and easy way in which he explains EVERYTHING and makes it super accesible. 3) His more than obvious mastery of thousands of small, important details. Thank you very much, Mr. Banas, for doing an effort and sharing FOR FREE all of your knowledge with us. It is certainly very appreciated.

C++ is my first language, ECMAScript regular expression is the second, and LaTex is the third, you helped me with the second and third and I'm very grateful. I can't believe it that you have a list of one video for all languages. Great job man!
Great tutorial thanks! I used Tex many years ago when I was a grad student, and wanted to lay out some math equations. This looked like a great way to get reminded, and practice, and it was. Thanks!!

Overleaf is a nice free online editor for this. It has collaboration features too. Just as an option for anyone not bothering or having rights to install locally.
I'm beginning to write my thesis and was wondering, would you recommend overleaf for an long engineering text? I will need a lot of charts and schematics to be drawn. I figure it would be nice to be able to share the document with my advisor, but online tools always seem a little limited
@@rhodelucas yes, it's easy to work with too, charts and schematics can be exported/generated as bitmap/ vector in your working directory latex can take care of the rest, revisions on data is easy to handle too. i recommend to use git if you go paid version. chances are, there's somebody that already used latex in your dept to make thesis too, ask for the classfile and you only need to think about the actual content.

Great video Derek! As a beginner I got pretty stuck at 39:47! for your \begin{tabular} options, the *3_@ character is a lowercase l and not a pipe I believe- that wasn't clear from the audio alone :P
GREAT TUTORIAL. May I let you in on the preferred pronunciation of TeX and LaTeX? The "X" is not pronounced as the "X" in English, but rather like "ch" is pronounced in "loch" as in Loch Ness in Scotland and Bach as in the composer of long ago.
Thank you :) Sorry about the error. I do that sometimes because I learn everything from reading. The funny thing is that I have never been corrected in real life for saying it wrong. I actually called someone and asked them why they never corrected me.
Thank you Sir.I've been looking for this kind of teaching method but I couldn't find any. You saved my future. By the way guys"Physicists don't use Word they use LaTex".
Perfect and at last something I'm more familiar in than Derek :P One comment on what seems like a perfect beginners guide, it's pronounced _lay-tack_ If you called it 'lay-tex' in a job interview you'd be shown the door instantly. For those new to the fantastic guide Derek has posted and the pseudo-language it is, please, please, please call it _lay-tack_.
@@derekbanas no bother, I mean the damn word is *LATEX* so any person would be reasonable for pronouncing it as such. It is a bizarre thing, but in any print or typesetting industry it is never pronounced phonetically. Great guide by the way, I don't want to take away from that :)
I know its pronounced laytek but for years I've been calling it laytex, very few people have said anything and no company has ever been upset about it.
Those underlying jokes at the end are just too funny like the last i catched 'When I was born I was so ugly the doctor slapped my mother'. Above that an awesome video tutorial.
Derek what's next series ?? If you want suggestions 1. machine learning really hot topic ( also bit hyped IMO) 2. Security : like basic security series , auditing , web app etc P.S. Love your videos
Thank you :) I'm making 3 more learn in ones Perl 6, Nim and D. Then I'm considering some mat learn in ones on linear algebra, statistics and calculus. All of the multipart tutorials I have done over the last 2 years have all done very bad. If the math tutorials do well, especially linear algebra, I'll try a ML tutorial, security, etc. I'm also considering Photoshop, Illustrator, and Gimp because I haven't done one in a while and people seem interested.
@@derekbanas i personally like all of your multi part series . I am not sure if anyone still uses Perl don't know about Nim and D (or where they are used ) .
That is so funny because I actually wrote the code to do that last night and then I didn't post the results because I thought people would think I was crazy. I am crazy by the way :)
\LaTeX gives the actual logo. You can set up a newcommand to make it easier to use frequently in a document. tex.stackexchange.com/questions/7546/how-to-get-latex-symbol-in-document
How about a comprehensive TeX tutorial? Not about writing documents, but an in-depth view into the inner-workings of TeX and writing programs (which is possible since TeX is turing complete). Or how about a tutorial on writing own LaTeX packages?
Watched this all in one session at 23:00, i'm definitely going to bed now, but i'll be back here in a few days to tell you if i actually learned anything.
Hi, I just started using LaTex on my Macbook and I can't figure out how to get to compiled pdf version to come up on the screen in real-time as it does for you. How can I get it to do that?
I had the same pb and I think it's a matter of putting the "\end{document}" at the end that makes the difference. Anyways I pasted this code: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{geometry} \geometry{a4paper} \usepackage[francais]{babel} \title{Premier document} \author{Un TeXnicien} \date{} \begin{document} \maketitle Voici un texte accentué en français! \end{document} Then I compiled and it worked Tell me if doing that works for you
I think what we can see on his right at the beginning of the video is not what you should get exactly because you can see it is already written his name & the title even though he hasn't coded that yet

I get an error code trying to recreate your last table at 40:56, stating that there is "Missing # inserted in alignment preamble". Any idea how to fix this error?
It made sense when I heard it 'LaTex is a typesetting system which is the standard for publication of scientific documents and it's awesome and used very often to create evils'
You have helped me learn a lot and i have often told friends to check your videos out... but i just realized that i have said your name wrong for a long time... so 07:20 blew my mind!
It looks like my installation of 2019 Live TeX doesn't come with typeset LaTeX or whatever that option in the dropdown menu is called, and doesn't find the geometry so just prints errors. Texmaker was amazing though. The only part I couldn't create successfully was the table wiht multicolumn that expanded into multiple slots. It had a lot of vertical lines in a bunch, then name, age, first and last on top of each other in a column, a horizontal line and the all the person information in a column on top of each other. It seems as if all that stuff with @ and {} and * isnt working. "{c c c}" yielded a similar table for me.
Can you do an in depth video on Input/Output for programming? I always find those are missing from most tutorials and they are never really explained elsewhere.
@Derek, can you add an annotation about the settings/preferences that you made to change the default view to the view you use throughout the video? As far as I can tell you do not address this. Thanks!
Preferences -> Themes -> Changed to Dark Theme Preferences -> Preview -> Opening source and preview -> Select Use one Window Those were to 2 things I changed. Sorry for not addressing that
@Derek Banas How can we make our References clickable? ~ ef{fig:prettypic} If we click on 'section 1.1' it should scroll the PDF to that section. Also the "Table of Contents" in your cheetsheet isn't clickable, how can we make it clickable? Thanks for all your tutorials. 🙏
@@derekbanas I have watched the Emacs one. Great video. 👏🏼👏🏼 But I had to settle down for Sublime Text for my text editor. Just wanted to know which do you prefer? Vim or Emacs or you use neither??
Assembly language brought me here, realised that I don't have anything Linux, so ordered a raspberry pi, while am waiting for my pi, let's do some LATEX, everything gets easier with time.. Thanks for all the knowledge
please help me with the command for page numbering of a single landscape page (with \begin{landscape} and \end{landscape} command) between all other portrait pages. I am having a longtable (\begin{landscape} & \begin{longtable} or \begin{sidewaystable} & \begin{longtable}) but the page number does not appear at the bottom of the landscape page, rather it appears as in the rest of the pages with portrait orientation.
When I first looked at it I was like how does this work, but then I realized it works behind the scenes to make everything look good. I haven't used reStructuredText, but I'll check it out

I'm very happy that I could help :)
GREAT TUTORIAL. May I let you in on the preferred pronunciation of TeX and LaTeX? The "X" is not pronounced as the "X" in English, but rather like "ch" is pronounced in "loch" as in Loch Ness in Scotland and Bach as in the composer of long ago.
Thank you :) Sorry about the error. I do that sometimes because I learn everything from reading. The funny thing is that I have never been corrected in real life for saying it wrong. I actually called someone and asked them why they never corrected me.
I'm so happy that you made this video. You make the best tutorials on RUclips.
Thank you for the nice compliment :)
Decided to learn latex about a month ago, brilliant guide none the less!
Thank you very much :)
thank you banas....i was watching your programming videos ... and just found that.... thats a great one . am gonna share it in social media .. cheers
Thank you very much :)
I was gonna take a LaTeX course next semester, but thanks to you, there's no need now.
I'm happy I could save you some money :)
I watched the video! Thanks for painless introduction :) Excited to try it!
Thank you very much :) Happy to help
Thank you Sir.I've been looking for this kind of teaching method but I couldn't find any. You saved my future. By the way guys"Physicists don't use Word they use LaTex".
I'm very happy that I could help :)
Perfect and at last something I'm more familiar in than Derek :P
One comment on what seems like a perfect beginners guide, it's pronounced _lay-tack_
If you called it 'lay-tex' in a job interview you'd be shown the door instantly.
For those new to the fantastic guide Derek has posted and the pseudo-language it is, please, please, please call it _lay-tack_.
That's funny :) That is the first time I have ever been corrected for saying it that way. I checked and you are correct
@@derekbanas no bother, I mean the damn word is *LATEX* so any person would be reasonable for pronouncing it as such.
It is a bizarre thing, but in any print or typesetting industry it is never pronounced phonetically.
Great guide by the way, I don't want to take away from that :)
I'm happy you pointed it out. I hate making mistakes, but I'm happy when people correct me.
Shown the door instantly? Not sure I'd want to work there then honestly.
I know its pronounced laytek but for years I've been calling it laytex, very few people have said anything and no company has ever been upset about it.
How,
Me: Am I the only person that cares about ? I wonder if there is a simple tutorial somewhere.
Derek: Well hello internet!
Me: Thanks again Derek.
Those underlying jokes at the end are just too funny like the last i catched 'When I was born I was so ugly the doctor slapped my mother'. Above that an awesome video tutorial.
🙏 🙏 🙏 😊 👍
thank you so much!!!
i used latex a lot in college but forgot all of it
it is such a pleasure and a trip to watch this
Thank you very much :) Happy I could help
*When I was a kid my parents moved a lot, but I always found them.*
You are an amazing teacher! Thank you for this awesome tutorial. Going to use LaTeX for my Master Thesis :D
Thank you for the nice compliment :) I wish you all the best with your Thesis
Thank you for the hard work, I watch the whole video and type in every command in your tutorial at the same time, help me a lot
Happy I could help :)
Derek what's next series ?? If you want suggestions
1. machine learning really hot topic ( also bit hyped IMO)
2. Security : like basic security series , auditing , web app etc
P.S. Love your videos
Thank you :) I'm making 3 more learn in ones Perl 6, Nim and D. Then I'm considering some mat learn in ones on linear algebra, statistics and calculus. All of the multipart tutorials I have done over the last 2 years have all done very bad. If the math tutorials do well, especially linear algebra, I'll try a ML tutorial, security, etc. I'm also considering Photoshop, Illustrator, and Gimp because I haven't done one in a while and people seem interested.
@@derekbanas i personally like all of your multi part series . I am not sure if anyone still uses Perl don't know about Nim and D (or where they are used ) .
How did you set up the theme color and the pdf preview window in the normal startwindow of the editor?
I would like to know as well !

def alt_caps (s):

else:

That is so funny because I actually wrote the code to do that last night and then I didn't post the results because I thought people would think I was crazy. I am crazy by the way :)
@@derekbanas Well we all are a bit crazy right?
\LaTeX gives the actual logo. You can set up a newcommand to make it easier to use frequently in a document. tex.stackexchange.com/questions/7546/how-to-get-latex-symbol-in-document
Thank you very much! I just got into latex and this helped a lot.
Simply awsome man. I haven't learnt so much in one video before. I liked your accent and the way you explain too tough guy ;)
Thank you very much :) I'm happy I could help
Your video saved me a lot for College project. Thx!!
Happy I could help 😁
How about a comprehensive TeX tutorial? Not about writing documents, but an in-depth view into the inner-workings of TeX and writing programs (which is possible since TeX is turing complete). Or how about a tutorial on writing own LaTeX packages?
I'll see what I can do
I watched this video.
I still didn't learn everything I needed... but I think I'm a special case due to my need of LaTeX for mathematics.
Maybe have a look at this one, as it is more specified for math ruclips.net/video/fCzF5gDy60g/видео.html
Watched this all in one session at 23:00, i'm definitely going to bed now, but i'll be back here in a few days to tell you if i actually learned anything.
I hope it helps. I did my best to cover everything
This is the best youtube channel for CS!
Thank you for the nice compliment :) I do my best
Thanks for teaching LaTeX! It's really helpful.
Happy I could help
At 25:32 the package parskip, you called it parsnip. I have no idea if that was intentional or not but it made me laugh :D
great tutorial. really helpful. Thanks Derek
Thank you :) Nice to see you again
Awesome tutorial!! Thanks. It was a great help for the project I had in LaTeX.
Thank you very much :) Happy I could help
Great pace. And great intro. Thanks.
Thank you 😁
Thank you for the video Derek :) It was helpful.
Happy I could help :)
Much needed video, thanks will watch it full.
Thank you :) I hope it is useful
Great video as always, thanks a lot Derek
I'm happy I could help :)
Hi, I just started using LaTex on my Macbook and I can't figure out how to get to compiled pdf version to come up on the screen in real-time as it does for you. How can I get it to do that?
I had the same pb and I think it's a matter of putting the "\end{document}" at the end that makes the difference.
Anyways I pasted this code:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{a4paper}
\usepackage[francais]{babel}
\title{Premier document}
\author{Un TeXnicien}
\date{}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
Voici un texte accentué en français!
\end{document}
Then I compiled and it worked
Tell me if doing that works for you
I think what we can see on his right at the beginning of the video is not what you should get exactly because you can see it is already written his name & the title even though he hasn't coded that yet
oh god, 3+ years of my life learning and using latex summarized in less than an hour. if only this existed when i was using it for the first time.
I hope it helps someone :) It took forever to condense
Thanks for doing LaTeX !
I'm happy I could be of help :)
Perfect thank for the tutorial! You explained a lot.
Derek, you're the best
Hey Derek, How did you bring up that command information at around 3:00?
Perfect timing. I need to hand in a small paper in 3 and a half weeks
I hope it helps :) I did my best to provide an example on just about everything
Derek Banas i‘m sure it will. I‘ve already learned python, java and shell scripting with your videos. This probably won‘t be any different ;)

Geat tutorial! Thanks
Thank you :)
I get an error code trying to recreate your last table at 40:56, stating that there is "Missing # inserted in alignment preamble". Any idea how to fix this error?
It made sense when I heard it 'LaTex is a typesetting system which is the standard for publication of scientific documents and it's awesome and used very often to create evils'
Great cooking tutorial, thanks!
You have helped me learn a lot and i have often told friends to check your videos out... but i just realized that i have said your name wrong for a long time... so 07:20 blew my mind!
Thank you for telling others :) You say it like Bananas.
I guess it's time for me to finally learn math and download latex!
Thanks!
Happy I could help :)
Another awesome video for a much needed topic
Thank you :) I'm happy you liked it
AMAZING tutorial! Thanks!
Thank you very much :)
"Coming in" and "come in" are phrases the man uses quite a lot. I wonder if he knows he utters them so often.
I say all sorts of strange things
Perfect work. Thankx a lot. 5 Stars plus
Thank you very much :)
It looks like my installation of 2019 Live TeX doesn't come with typeset LaTeX or whatever that option in the dropdown menu is called, and doesn't find the geometry so just prints errors. Texmaker was amazing though. The only part I couldn't create successfully was the table wiht multicolumn that expanded into multiple slots. It had a lot of vertical lines in a bunch, then name, age, first and last on top of each other in a column, a horizontal line and the all the person information in a column on top of each other. It seems as if all that stuff with @ and {} and * isnt working. "{c c c}" yielded a similar table for me.
Hi Derek, wishing you a happy new year. Thanks a lot for this video. Could you please teach us Nim or kubernetes or Apache storm.
Happy New Year! Nim is coming very soon. Sorry for the wait. These learn in ones take forever to make
Can you do an in depth video on Input/Output for programming? I always find those are missing from most tutorials and they are never really explained elsewhere.
Can you give me an example of what you want to see?
no lie this is awesome thank you
amazing tutorial! Thank you very much
Thank you :)
@Derek, can you add an annotation about the settings/preferences that you made to change the default view to the view you use throughout the video? As far as I can tell you do not address this. Thanks!
Preferences -> Themes -> Changed to Dark Theme
Preferences -> Preview -> Opening source and preview -> Select Use one Window
Those were to 2 things I changed. Sorry for not addressing that
Thank you so much, Derek!
I'm happy to be of help :)
@Derek Banas
How can we make our References clickable?
~
ef{fig:prettypic}
If we click on 'section 1.1' it should scroll the PDF to that section.
Also the "Table of Contents" in your cheetsheet isn't clickable, how can we make it clickable?
Thanks for all your tutorials.
🙏
Finally Derek has reached his ultimate Geekiness.
🖖🏼
Using LaTeX instead of puny Word Processors.
Up next: Vim v/s Emacs
That's funny :) I actually have an Emacs and a Vim tutorial
@@derekbanas I have watched the Emacs one. Great video. 👏🏼👏🏼
But I had to settle down for Sublime Text for my text editor.
Just wanted to know which do you prefer? Vim or Emacs or you use neither??
Sudo apt remove vim; sudo apt install nano
Assembly language brought me here, realised that I don't have anything Linux, so ordered a raspberry pi, while am waiting for my pi, let's do some LATEX, everything gets easier with time.. Thanks for all the knowledge
Thank you :) I'm happy you like both videos
Thanks man, you're the best
I'm very happy to be of service :)
how do you get split screen like that? like from 2:05 to 2:14
please help me with the command for page numbering of a single landscape page (with \begin{landscape} and \end{landscape} command) between all other portrait pages. I am having a longtable (\begin{landscape} & \begin{longtable} or \begin{sidewaystable} & \begin{longtable}) but the page number does not appear at the bottom of the landscape page, rather it appears as in the rest of the pages with portrait orientation.
LaTeX is pretty intimidating. Have you used reStructuredText? I'm loving it.
When I first looked at it I was like how does this work, but then I realized it works behind the scenes to make everything look good. I haven't used reStructuredText, but I'll check it out
Me: Man I need to learn this programming language
Derek: Don't worry, I got you fam.
That's funny :) Thank you for the compliment
