Scientific Report LaTeX Template
Readme

---------------------------------------------
Quick set up:
If this folder has come to you in the form of
a .zip file, then unpack the contents into a
folder and upload all of the files into a New
Project on Overleaf (overleaf.com). It takes
2 seconds to make a profile if you don't already
have one.
This folder contains everything you would reasonably need
to create a simple but professional scientific report,
including:
Tables
Figures
Equations
Title page
Contents page
Citations
Bibliography
Hyperlinks
It doesn't contain anything too fancy, like putting
paragraph text in two columns. This folder is also
intended as a guide for people learning about/learning
how to use LaTeX, so there are pretty extensive comments
and annotations in each of the files. If you've just arrived
here and want to learn how to learn how to use latex as
quickly as possibly, read "latex_tutorial.txt".
The contents of this folder are as follows:
README.txt
Explains the contents of the folder.
latex_tutorial.txt
Basic introduction to how LaTeX works. Can be
covered in 5 minutes. Designed for absolute
beginners.
main.tex
The main TeX file. Contains extensive annotations.
preamble.sty
Stuff for the preamble of main.tex. This
file has been made in order to keep the preamble
of main.tex looking neat. It is called on the 2nd
line of main.tex, by "\usepackage{preamble}".
This command instructs LaTeX to put everything in
preamble.sty in the preamble of main.tex. You could
copy and paste everything in this file into the
preamble (the bit before "\begin{document}") of
main.tex, remove the line "\usepackage{preamble}",
and the result would be exactly the same.
refs.bib
Information on the references used in main.tex.
Also explains how to add more references of
different types.
