How to use TexMarker?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

texmaker?

mathslover (mathslover):

I went to new and then typed \large{hi}

mathslover (mathslover):

Yes

mathslover (mathslover):

WHen I typed that, nothing happened

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are you trying to do? i love my texmaker, best editor i have every used. well only the second but i do like it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did you put in the pre-amble? \large might require a package, i don't know

mathslover (mathslover):

mathslover (mathslover):

\hi will work?

mathslover (mathslover):

I mean to say how you type any LaTeX anything there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok you need to call your document something

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on let me find an example

mathslover (mathslover):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i am so sloe, here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to, at the very least, begin your document with \begin{document} and end with \end{document}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the other stuff i is just crap i added to get rid of page numbering in so on you can also choose margins, and lots of other stuff

mathslover (mathslover):

When I clicked on the arrow for view as PDF , it shows Can't detect the file name

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

``` ouch

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and you have to call it something

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to name it something and save it before you can view it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you can go to "tools" -> "quick build" and see the pdf on the right. if you do that, and then save, it should save the pdf as well as the texmaker file in whatever pdf viewer you use

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you don't actually need to compile it to see it

mathslover (mathslover):

I made the section name now, now when I clicked on that arrow, it says"File not found"

mathslover (mathslover):

what I typed: \section{Hi} \begin{document} \frac{2}{x} \end{document}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here open this and you can play around with it if you like

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all i ever do is go to "save as" give it a name, and then i can preview it

mathslover (mathslover):

mathslover (mathslover):

Not done

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok try this open a new document type \documentclass[12pt]{article}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then \begin{document}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then something. for in line math you can use \(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for equations you use \[

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just like here then close with \] of course

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and end with \end{document}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

although texmaker should do that automatically for you if you hit "enter" when you get the prompt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then save the tex file as something, and then try tools, quick build

mathslover (mathslover):

not working

hartnn (hartnn):

mathslover (mathslover):

you know about this @hartnn ?

hartnn (hartnn):

i tried to do same and failed, then i searched net to learn about this.......but satellites explanation is better, so bookmarked it.

mathslover (mathslover):

yes but it says thousands of error for me

mathslover (mathslover):

@blues can you help me?

mathslover (mathslover):

Oh someone is here to help me... zarkon sir please help

OpenStudy (zarkon):

I occasionally get the same thing. I then press the PDFLatex arrow again and it usually clears it up. I assume you have miktex installed?

mathslover (mathslover):

Yes sir, I had just installed. It is showing texworks to me also.

mathslover (mathslover):

I typed : \[\large{\frac{2}{x}}\] in texworks and then saved that as pdf .. but it is not opening... It says "the format is not of pdf"

mathslover (mathslover):

This is what I entered.

OpenStudy (zarkon):

I don't use Texworks...I do use texmaker though

mathslover (mathslover):

This is the error.

mathslover (mathslover):

OK sir, should I try for texmarker again?

OpenStudy (zarkon):

you can...but I'm not sure what your problem is...what the others have given you should work.

mathslover (mathslover):

OK sir, I am trying again ( earlier I didn't have miktex but now I have and I hope it will work)

mathslover (mathslover):

Sir, how to define the font size as normal size?

mathslover (mathslover):

I typed this : \begin{document} \[\frac{2}{x}\] \end{document} in texworks .... it shows errors: the font size "normal size" is not defined.

mathslover (mathslover):

there is error in "begin document "and "end document"

OpenStudy (zarkon):

what is the exact error?

mathslover (mathslover):

LaTeX Error: The font size command \normalsize is not defined:

mathslover (mathslover):

that is the "exact" error sir.

OpenStudy (zarkon):

looking...

OpenStudy (zarkon):

you can try using \usepackage{txfonts} But I don't know if it will fix it

OpenStudy (zarkon):

you put it before \begin{document}

mathslover (mathslover):

``` \documentclass{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{geometry} \geometry{a4paper} \usepackage[english]{label} \title{Kushashwa} \author{Kushashwa ravi shrimali} \date{02-10-2012} \usepackage{txfonts} \begin{document} \marktitle \[\large{(a+b)^2=(a+b)(a+b)}\] \[\large{\textbf{use distributive property now to multiply them}}\] \[\large{a(a+b)+b(a+b)=a^2+ab+ba+b^2}\] \[\large{(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2}\] \end{document}

mathslover (mathslover):

was it alright?

mathslover (mathslover):

I made it, yupppppppppi thanks a lot @Zarkon @satellite73 and others who helped.

hartnn (hartnn):

take a snap and post

mathslover (mathslover):

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,landscape]{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[english]{babel} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage[left=2cm,right=2cm,top=2cm,bottom=2cm]{geometry} \author{Kushashwa Ravi Shrimali} \title{LaTeX try} \begin{document} \maketitle Hello there, today we are going to study about identities. \begin{Large} \[(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\] \[(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\] \end{Large} These are two , very easy equations / identities that will help us to understand these topics. \begin{Large} \[(a+b)^2=(a+b)(a+b)\] \end{Large} Now, use the distributive property i.e a(b+c) = ab+ac. Tell me what you get after multiplying (a+b)(a+b) \end{document}

mathslover (mathslover):

@hartnn ..

hartnn (hartnn):
