Local TeX installation
Our Linux systems have the following TeX/LaTeX-related resources:
-
teTeX distribution
(includes TeX, MetaFont, MetaPost, and many macro packages,
including LaTeX and Xy-pic)
-
UA-classes (macros for Masters/Doctoral dissertations conforming to UA
guidelines). For instructions, read the DVI files in /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/uaclasses.
-
UA-letter (macros for UA Math letterhead). You should be familiar with
the LaTeX letter class, which is documented in many books
on LaTeX (or you might find some online examples by
googling “latex letter”). The ua-letter class customizes the standard letter class.
Some of the differences are documented in
the DVI file in the directory /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/local.
As of 27Apr2003, the ua-letter class also works with pdfLaTeX.
-
FoilTeX. To view a manual: xdvi /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/foiltex/foiltex.dvi
-
LyX, a graphical word-processor-like frontend to LaTeX. From a command
line, use the command: lyx. Has builtin online help.
-
apacite (2005-06-06 version), a bibtex style for APA-style citations. To learn
more, see the PDF on the
CTAN
apacite page.
