# LaTeX Script by Fachschaft WIAI
This script introduces the most fundamental LaTeX mechanisms to get learners started. It is used both as a reference and as exercise material for our [LaTeX workshop](https://wiai.stuve-bamberg.de/latex-weekend), a **two-day tutorial aimed at students from various backgrounds**.

## Relevant files for learners
* **`main.tex`** is the entry point. It includes the preamble (`preamble.tex`), our custom commands (`commands.tex`) as well as all sections.
* **`content`** comprises the individual chapters of this script.
* Most chapters include a task that can be found in the **`exercises`** folder.
Please don't feel overwhelmed by the amount of files in this repository. You will get to know the most important parts of the project step by step by [following the script](https://github.com/fs-wiai/latex-script/releases) or our workshop. What's more, by using this larger projects you get accustomed to the complexity of real LaTeX projects bachelor's/master's theses and the like.
In this repository, we provide an exercise script in which you can practically apply what you have learned. These files will be needed:
* **`main-exercises.tex`** is the entry point for the exercise part. It includes the preamble (`preamble.tex`), our custom commands (`commands.tex`) as well as all sections.
* **`exercises`** contains one sub-folder for each chapter. Within these folders, there are the LaTeX files you will have to modify to complete an exercise.
## Additional material
Besides the exercise part, we also provide the script detailing all of the information we give you during our workshop. This script can be used as a reference, a refresher, and a source of inspiration. Moreover, it is a practical example of how LaTeX can be brought to good use. This is why we offer you the full source code, structured like this:
* The **`content`** folder comprises the individual chapters of the script.
* They are bound together by **`main-script.tex`**, which also includes our preamble (`preamble.tex`) and our custom commands (`commands.tex`).
* Further folders (e.g., `listings` and `graphics`) contain additional resources like images and source code listings used in the script.
