We can define a document class by using the command \mintinline[breaklines,breakafter=-,breakaftersymbolpre={}]{latex}|\documentclass[<para-meter>]{<document class>}|.
The most commonly used document classes that are supported by default are \mintinline{latex}{article} for short documents, and \mintinline{latex}{report} for longer ones.
Furthermore, you can use \mintinline{latex}{book} for books, \mintinline{latex}{beamer}\footnote{We do not cover making presentations in \LaTeX{} in this tutorial.

In addition to the standard document classes, the \acro{KOMA} script classes have been developed.
They provide alternatives to the document classes mentioned above:
In lieu of \mintinline{latex}{article} you can use \mintinline{latex}{scrartcl}, \mintinline{latex}{report} is replaced by \mintinline{latex}{scrreprt},\footnote{Those vowels are indeed missing, do not try to insert them.} and \mintinline{latex}{scrbook} can be used instead of \mintinline{latex}{book}.

writing letters.

\chapter{Project structure}

In the previous chapters we have only seen very short \LaTeX{} examples. \LaTeX{} can of course also be used to create larger documents and projects, such as a thesis.
In the previous chapters, we have only seen very short \LaTeX{} examples. \LaTeX{} can of course also be used to create larger documents and projects, such as a thesis.
In order not to lose the overview in the source code and to avoid that source files become too long, a reasonable structuring of a larger \LaTeX{} project is advisable. For this purpose, the source code is divided into different files, which will be discussed in more detail in the following sections.
\section{Main file}
In large projects, we typically use one main file, which is often called \texttt{main.tex}. It is, in a sense, the structural skeleton of the project, as it contains the basic structure including the preamble. The title, table of contents, as well as the individual chapters of a work are integrated in this main file (cf.\ \cref{lst:main-file}). The inclusion of the individual sections can be done either by \mintinline{latex}{\input{...}} or \mintinline{latex}{\include{...}}. Both require the path to the file to be included as an argument. We will discuss the differences between the two commands later (see \cref{sec:input-vs-include}).

\example{lst:main-file}{project-structure/main-file}{Typical structure in a main file \LaTeX{}}
\section{Section files}
Section files are files that are included within the main file. In a thesis, for example, these can be individual chapters. You are free to decide how granular the division of the content into individual files should be.
The files that are included by the main file do not contain a preamble, since this is already present in the main file. Neither do the commands \mintinline{latex}{\begin{document}} and \mintinline{latex}{\end{document}} appear again.
The files that are included by the main file do not contain a preamble, since this is already present in the main file. Neither do the commands \code{latex}{\textbackslash begin\{document\}} and \code{latex}{\textbackslash end\{document\}} appear again.
\section{Input or include?}
\label{sec:input-vs-include}
Let us now turn to the differences between the two possible commands for including \LaTeX{} files. Briefly summarized, \mintinline{latex}{\include} and \mintinline{latex}{\input} have differences in the following three aspects: The way in which the path to the file to be included is specified, the possibility of nesting inclusions, and whether a new page is started for each section.

Briefly summarized, \code{latex}{\textbackslash include} and \code{latex}{\textbackslash input} have differences in the following three aspects: The way in which the path to the file to be included is specified, the possibility of nesting inclusions, and whether a new page is started for each section.
If you use the command \mintinline{latex}{\input}, you can specify the file extension \texttt{.tex}, but it is not mandatory. It is also possible to nest the inclusion of files: A file included with \mintinline{latex}{\input} can in turn include another file with the same command. The files that have been included are inserted in the finished document without starting a new page for the included section (cf. \cref{lst:main-file}).
If you use the command \code{latex}{\textbackslash input}, you can specify the file extension \sh{.tex}, but it is not mandatory. It is also possible to nest the inclusion of files: A file included with \code{latex}{\textbackslash input} can in turn include another file with the same command.

The command expects a unique label as argument, that needs to be assigned to
the referenced element. After that, wherever we call the command, the number of

On some operating systems, Python comes pre-installed, in which case entering the command \mintinline{bash}{python --version} or \mintinline{bash}{python3 --version} in a terminal of your choice\footnote{Opening a terminal on Windows: \faWindows\ + R → Type \enquote{cmd} → Enter} should print out the installed Python version.

\noindent If the version number is equal to the one stated here, or higher, then everything should be set up correctly.
Next, enter the command \mintinline{bash}{pip install Pygments}\footnote{On some operating systems, you might have to use the command \mintinline{bash}{pip3 install Pygments}} in the same terminal window to install the Pygments package for Python.
Once the installation is complete, you are ready to include the \LaTeX{} package \mintinline{latex}{minted} into your documents by adding \mintinline{latex}{\usepackage{minted}} to your preamble.
Next, enter the command \sh{pip install Pygments}\footnote{On some operating systems, you might have to use the command \sh{pip3 install Pygments}} in the same terminal window to install the Pygments package for Python.
Once the installation is complete, you are ready to include the \LaTeX{} package \pkg{minted} into your documents by adding \code{latex}{\textbackslash usepackage\{minted\}} to your preamble.
\section{Changing the compiler command}
There is one last adjustment needed before you can actually compile your documents---we will have to adjust the compile command.
Out of the box, your editor will probably execute the following command after you clicked the green compile arrow:
\begin{minted}[]{bash}
$ pdflatex main.tex
\end{minted}
\shell{pdflatex main.tex}
\noindent The exact command can be found and configured in \TeX{}studio under Options → Configure \TeX{}studio → Commands.
It is stated next to the label Pdf\LaTeX{}.
The file that is to be compiled will replace the placeholder \mintinline{bash}{%.tex} upon compilation.
The file that is to be compiled will replace the placeholder \sh{\%.tex} upon compilation.
Additionally, there are typically two additional options configured.
You can recognize them by the hyphen before their names (\mintinline{bash}{-synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode}).
These options are called flags and configure the program \mintinline{bash}{pdflatex}.
You can recognize them by the hyphen before their names (\sh{-synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode}).
These options are called flags and configure the program \sh{pdflatex}.
We will have to add another flag.
Place the string \mintinline{bash}{-shell-escape} before the file placeholder (\mintinline{bash}{%.tex}):
Place the string \sh{-shell-escape} before the file placeholder (\sh{\%.tex}):
\begin{minted}[]{bash}
pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode -shell-escape %.tex
\end{minted}
\shell{pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode -shell-escape \%.tex}
\noindent After a click on \enquote{Okay} the configuration is finished.
Other editors usually provide similar options to configure the compilation command.
We recommend you to have a look at the settings or to use of a search engine to figure it out.
\paragraph{An important note on the shell-escape flag.} \mintinline{bash}{minted}'s syntax highlighting is done by a Python package, which adds the necessity to communicate between the compiler and the Python runtime.
\paragraph{An important note on the shell-escape flag.} \pkg{minted}'s syntax highlighting is done by a Python package, which adds the necessity to communicate between the compiler and the Python runtime.
The shell-escape flag adds this communication path.
When enabled, \LaTeX{} can execute any command in a terminal, which can be very useful.
Nonetheless, it would also be possible to execute malign code on your computer via \LaTeX{}, especially when you are compiling unknown documents from the Internet.
Therefore, do not compile downloaded documents with the shell-escape flag if you do not trust the authors and did not check the packages and commands they include.

Text markup can be done in two ways: semantically or visually.
We recommend that you use semantic markup whenever possible.
In contrast to visual markup, it only states \emph{why} something is special and entrusts to \LaTeX{} \emph{how} it is going to look.
The simplest semantic markup, that was also used in the previous sentence, is an emphasis: \mintinline{latex}{\emph{…}}.

By default, this command sets text in italics.
