LaTeX examples, adapted from old assignments

LaTeX Examples

The aim of this repository is to organize, collect, and share a variety of LaTeX templates that I have used, most likely from old assignments.

To avoid academic integrity issues, I will be modifying assignments before posting them. I will also try to ensure that all content is nevertheless correct.

There is currently no planned structure or hierarchy in this repository, since I'm adding examples as I use them. When things start getting unwieldy, I will start organizing examples into directories.

Current Examples

Screenshots of the compiled LaTeX can be found on the wiki.

• Assignment template
• B-tree
• Binary search tree
• Colours
• dot2tex - figures drawn in the Dot language
• Entity-Relationship diagram
• Equations
• Extendible hashing
• Pseudocode
• Skip list
• Source code

Usage

1. Download and install LaTeX, if you don't already have it. If you don't know LaTeX, the wikibook is a good place to start. After that, The Not So Short Introduction LaTeX2e is also a good resource.
2. Clone this repository.
3. Use pdflatex to compile the examples
4. ???
5. Profit.

Contributing

One of my goals here is to collect other examples, especially since I am still learning LaTeX.

If you would like to contribute (adding new examples, fixing mistakes, suggesting alternatives, etc), please send me a pull request.

For now, please let me handle directories and organization on my own. Send me a pull request containing one or more new files, and I will find a way to organize it.

latex-examples's Issues

Compile tex files into PDFs with sharelatex.com

https://www.sharelatex.com/github/

How does this work?
We run a LaTeX compiler in the cloud which listens for changes to your Github repository. When you make a change, we compile the latest content and host the PDF and log files for you.

You can embed a badge into your project's README or website so that you can see the latest compile status and access the PDF with a single click.

Renderings?

Would be great to see renderings on the readme without having to download + compile. Could use http://juan.benet.ai/note/2014-03-09/tikz2svg/ to generate svgs.
