About Course
Irrespective of the domain of specialization, documentation skills are inevitable in the field of science and technology. There are some standard norms by which technical documents are being prepared. These norms can be easily met with documentation software LaTeX. It is rather a program written in plain text and can be formatted to the requirement. The program is compiled to get the output, usually in pdf format. LaTeX is free software that works in Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. There are some interfaces to make the program more user friendly and these interfaces are also available free of cost. With the help of different types of interfaces available, one can make a standard document in LaTeX with ease. In this course, using LaTeX in various operating systems with different interfaces is discussed in detail. Further, there are some useful tools available on the web that make LaTeX very easy for beginners. Some of these tools are also discussed in this course which makes the students comfortable with LaTeX. Creating a table of contents, giving a proper citation, placing figures and tables at the right places, etc. are troublesome in many of the popular documentation tools. These things can be easily performed in Latex with the help of a command. Therefore, this course “Technical Scripting in LaTeX” will be a valuable addition in your career.
