Text Editor

Among the useful tools a modern editor (like VSCode or Sublime Text). On top of that useful tools connected to LaTeX include: , is mandatory. In particular useful tools include

  • snippets
  • multi-cursors
  • forward/backward search: so you can click the generated pdf and find the tex location in your document (something now common with Overleaf).

Additional tools

  • https://www.tablesgenerator.com/ : to create LaTeX tables from copy/paste values or .csv files

  • Inkscape (see for more information in the Inkscape section): useful for sketching figures with, especially with the TexText extension.

  • latexdiff : allows to visualize the diff in the pdf (useful for revision / v2 in a publication):

    file1.tex file2.tex > diff.tex

    Then, you can compile the file diff.tex and you get some nice difference file in the output pdf.

Latex tips

  1. Tools for Latex: Table generator http://www.tablesgenerator.com/ and OCR for Latex formulas https://mathpix.com/

  2. Warning font style :

$$SNR \neq \$SNR\$$$
  1. Add space on which you optimize:
$$\min_{x \in X}$$

is good,

$$\min_{x}$$

is forbidden.

  1. Always use \enspace at the of align/equation environments; e.g., :
$$\begin{align} x + 3 \enspace. \end{align}$$

and not

$$\begin{align} x + 3. \end{align} ## English rules 1. **HARMONIZE notation** 1. isn't -> **is not**, can't -> **can not**, let's -> **let us** 1. **Do not use** "I", "my". **Use** "royal", "we". 1. **Never** start a sequence by a formula. 1. **Use . , ;** at the end of a formula. 1. **Refrain** for using "will". 1. "permit" no so popular, **use** "allow". 1. **Number should often be a letter**: "3 times larger" -> "three times larger" 1. Notation without **s** for math. 1. Present tense, third person: "he, she, it", **add* an "s" at the end. 1. **Define** (almost) all "symbols you use". 1. **Define** concepts in correct order.$$
