Introduction
LaTeX is a powerful typesetting system used for creating professional documents,
especially in scientific and academic writing. This guide will take you from beginner to pro level.

Step 1: Setting Up LaTeX


To use LaTeX, you can either:
1. Use Overleaf (Online) - No installation required.
2. Install TeX Live (Windows/Linux) or MiKTeX (Windows) for offline use.
3. Use a LaTeX editor like TeXworks or TeXmaker.

Basic Document Structure:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Hello, LaTeX!
\end{document}

Step 2: Formatting Text


You can format text in LaTeX as follows:
- Bold: \textbf{Bold}
- Italic: \textit{Italic}
- Underline: \underline{Text}

Step 3: Sections & Lists

\section{Introduction}
\subsection{Subsection}
\begin{itemize}
\item Bullet List Item
\end{itemize}

Step 4: Mathematical Equations

Inline: $E = mc^2$
Display Mode:
\begin{equation}
x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}
\end{equation}

Step 5: Creating Tables

\begin{table}[h]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
Name & Age & Country \\
\hline
Alice & 25 & USA \\
Bob & 30 & UK \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{Sample Table}
\end{table}

Step 6: Inserting Images

\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{example-image}
\caption{Sample Image}
\end{figure}

Step 7: Citations & Bibliography

\begin{thebibliography}{9}
\bibitem{einstein1905}
A. Einstein, "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies," Annalen der Physik, 1905.
\end{thebibliography}

Step 8: Complete LaTeX Report Structure

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx, amsmath, cite}
\begin{document}
\title{LaTeX Report}
\author{Your Name}
\date{\today}
\maketitle
\section{Introduction}
This is a sample report.
\end{document}
