Usage of latex
- The ".tex"-file contains both text and commands steering its
appearance :
styles, fonts, building blocks like tables and equations, etc..
- The command "latex filename" translates this file into a
".dvi"-file.
During this compilation errors might occur in the ".tex"-file
that have to be corrected.
- The ".dvi"-file might be checked with the viewer, syntax is
"v file.dvi".
It's not unlikely that the viewer is not available.
- To translate the ".dvi"-file into printable postscript, type
"dvips file".
You can print this file or watch it with help of ghostview.
The syntax for ghostview is either "ghostview file.ps" or "gv
file.ps".
