Todo for this repository:

In general:

  • add footer to all handouts saying that the most recent version of this file can be found on github.com/worldbank/DIME-LaTeX-Templates

On Github:

In setup TeXstudio folder:

  • Create a cheat sheet. Include for example: Explain the difference between the two compile buttons and create a cheat sheet for TeXstudio - Mrijan

In exercise 1 folder (Basic Appendix):

  • Bring back iebaltab? Ahmad's bug is fixed as of next update.

In exercise 2 folder (Advance Appendix):

Section 1. Combine what you learn in Stata/R exercise and in Exercise 1

  • ask the user to create at least 2 tables and two figures using his or her own data. This should be done by a Stata do-file or an R script or similar so that can be generated again. If you are using an existing project to generate these, make a new versio of the file as you will be asked to make modifications to the file in the end of this exercise. If you do not have any project or data of your own, use the Stata exercise.
  • Use template to import all your tables and fugues to a latex file using what you learned inexercise 1. Give them captions.

Sectqion 2. Introduce a lot of intermediate functionality in LaTeX

  • Explain the usage of labels (\ref and tab:)
  • Add exercises to create sections
  • Add exercises to create a table of contents
  • Line spacing
  • How to flip to landscape. Some tables are so wide that we need the page it is on to be in landscape.

Section 3. Show the dynamic aspect of LaTeX

  • save the PDF you generated above with a new name. So that it is not overwritten in this exercise.

  • go back to the dofile you used to generate the tables and figures. Make changes to the data, for example drop a Subset of your variables. Then generate the tables and figures again. Make sure that the Tex and png files you generated earlier are overwritten. Without making any changes to your latex code, run it again to create a new PDF. See how all your tables and figures were updated. Compare this to the PDF you saved using a different name.

  • [ ]

In exercise 3 folder (Full Document):

  • intro - mention how updatedable it is with text and imported tables and graph
  • Sections to add
  • To move from ex 2. Line spacing, items
  • Add math equations
  • More text formatting, size, font (and same as item 2)
  • Explain environments and create reference to here from ex 1 and ex 2
  • Document types
  • Margins
  • Float of images and tables
  • bibliography
  • manually write a table
  • manually edit a table
  • draw geometric figures
  • resolve latex bugs and interpret error code
  • presentations - Create a beamer template

In R export exercise folder:

  • Start with the Stata ex and translate to R

Old and completed tasks

In general:

  • Research how TeXstudio exports pdf. Regarding final file and all .aux files.
