LaTeX workshop (for linguists)

This handout was originally developed for an impromptu workshop on LaTeX that I gave at the 2015 Chicago Linguistic Institute. Since then, I have updated the handout and will continute to periodically keep it up to date. A compiled .pdf of the most recent version of the handout can be found here.

Feel free to fork this repository and open a pull request if you see ways that these materials could be improved.

Compiling

In order to compile the file latex-workshop-for-linguists.tex, you will need to do the following things:

• Install Pygments. If you have pip installed, you can just do pip install Pygments. See the minted documentation for more information.
• Compile the file with shell escape enabled. Also see the minted documentation for more information.
• Either change the font that the document uses or download and install the Computer Modern Unicode font on your machine.

While not necessary to succesfully compile the document, if you'd like the git information in the footer to be typeset correctly, you will also need to:

• Install the three required hooks into the .git/hooks/ directory. This can be done via the install-git-hooks.sh script on a *nix system with ./circle-ci-setup/install-git-hooks.sh. Then do git checkout master. (The git information for insertion into the document is generated anytime a checkout, commit, or merge occurs.)
