working with LaTeX

Last week I've built my first document in LaTeX format. It took an afternoon to catch it, but now I can do it ;). And I really like the idea of using it. Knowledge probably to be extended... ;)

Until new things about, I'll record here some basic steps (sort of wiki for myself)

  1. Install latex-mk on macbook:

ports search latex

ports install latex-mk

  1. using a template (*.tex file), fill in data then
  • 2a. convert latex file in dvi file

latex-mk <>.tex

  • 2b. convert dvi file to pdf:

dvipdf <>.dvi
