# All PDFs are already generated into the Releases section of this repository.- Choose a template from
Publications\orTutorials\ - Copy the template to your working directory
- Modify the content while preserving structure
- Compile using your preferred method
- Iterate until satisfied with results
- Browse the compiled PDFs in
Publications/ - Open the corresponding source
.texfiles - Study the document structure and packages used
- Experiment by modifying and recompiling
- Apply techniques to your own documents
Even experienced LaTeX users forget these fundamentals:
| Tip | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
✅ Use .bib files |
Clean, scalable citations that auto-format |
| ✅ Split large documents | Multiple .tex files improve readability |
| ✅ Prefer vector graphics | PDFs and SVGs scale perfectly |
| ✅ Use version control | Git + LaTeX = perfect collaboration |
| ✅ Comment your code | Future you will thank present you |
| ✅ Compile multiple times | References need 2-3 passes to resolve |
| ✅ Keep packages minimal | Only load what you actually use |
| ✅ Use semantic commands | \emph{} not \textit{} for meaning |
These small habits make a massive difference in long-term productivity.
