Tex Live 2019

As I am now using LaTeX for more documents. I have decided to download the TeX Live iso as this is a useful resource to have.

TeXLive is about 3.3gb in total. But is handy to have, for the resources, and different installers for Linux, Mac, Windows etc.

TeXLive2020 should be available later this year.

I will have a copy of TeXLive 2019 for the next South Devon Tech Jam in case anyone is interested.

$\LaTeX$ Letters

In Overleaf, I have used a template letter file with an empty letter body area (or at least minimal). Copying this to a new file, keeps the original body empty for new files.

I have also created letters and letters-sent folders. This helps keep track of which letters are work in progress and which letters have been sent.

Once saved as pdf you can also attach to a e-mail if you wish to send a letter that way.

Use % at the start of a line (for example for the enclosures) to make the line a comment, if you are enclosing anything this can be put back in by removing the % from the start.

Using % makes that line a comment

$\LaTeX$ templates is a really useful website has templates that can help get you started.

I actually feel fairly confident that I could teach or run small workshops to introduce $\LaTeX$ to students but would expect to be paid.
