This workshop will introduce participants to LaTeX (a typesetting framework for scientific writing) with Overleaf.
As well as going over how to get started with LaTeX for those who have never used it before (and perhaps heard a lot about it), it will also cover some of the built-tools that Overleaf has to offer for collaborative writing which will include:
Track changes, commenting and chat
A rich text editor for collaborating with non LaTeX'icians
Link-sharing, to quickly share work with collaborators
Finally, time permitting, some top tips on how to get more out of LaTeX will also be discussed.
What do participants need to prepare for this class?
This session is suitable for those who have never used LaTeX before, or those who would like a refresher. Please bring your own laptops if you are able to. You can either install LaTeX on your PC using instructions here or use the online editor Overleaf.
