LaTeX is essentially a high-quality typesetting system with features tailored to the development of technological and scientific documents. LaTeX is the de facto standard for scientific document correspondence and dissemination. LaTeX is a free bit of software.
The motto behind LaTeX is to encourage its author not to bother much with the appearance of their documents rather utilize the quality time more towards the quality contents.
To produce the above format in most typesetting or Word-Processing systems, the author would have to worry about the layout based on the different themes of different publications. Say the author would have to select 18pt Times New Roman for the title, 12pt italics Times New Roman for Name, 14pt Bold Times New Roman for Heading, and so on. This would mostly result in wasting the precious time of authors for the designs and sometimes even badly designed documents receiving a rejection for unmatched format.
Thus basically, LaTeX is based on the idea that the author shall worry about the contents while the publication’s designee shall take care of formatting the documents. Basically, in LaTeX, one would input the document as:
\documentclass{article}\title{Research in Project Engineering: the nature of questions asked}\author{Wan Geoffrey Hillary \\School of Engineering, Economics and Management,\\University of the, \underline{Wakanda}}\date{\May 2021}\begin{document}\maketitle\begin{abstract}This is the paper's abstract \ldots\end{abstract}\section{Purpose of the Paper}The objective of this research was to categorize the access the nature of the project, design and management of engineering project questions that were proposed for final year research \ldots
\paragraph{Outline}The remainder of this article is organized as follows.Section~\ref{previous work} gives account of previous work.Our new and exciting results are described in Section~\ref{results}.Finally, Section~\ref{conclusions} gives the conclusions.\section{Previous work}\label{previous work}\section{Results}\label{results}\section{Conclusions}\label{conclusions}\end{document}
The output shall be displayed as:
Well, how difficult was that!
LaTeX Features
1. A Beautiful Typeset The performance, including writing an equation and mathematical symbols, is stunning. LaTeX is particularly good at managing visual elements like fonts, spacing, and line breaks.
2. LaTeX allows the author to structure the text in a logical manner, which has the added benefit of resulting in exposition that is more organized, simpler, and coherent. This allows the author to concentrate on the material rather than the layout when writing.
3. User friendly
4. Customizable
5. Separation of content and styles
6. Dealing with mathematical notation
7. Consistent handling of intra-document references and bibliography
8. Collaborative editing
9. Spell Check
10. Most journals provide templates for LaTeX.
