\maketitle
This is a sample input file. Comparing it with the output it
generates can show you how to produce a simple document of
your own.
\section{Ordinary Text}
The ends of words and sentences are marked
by spaces. It doesn't matter how many
spaces you type; one is as good as 100. The
end of a line counts as a space.
One or more blank lines denote the end
of a paragraph.
\LaTeX\ is built ``on top'' of \TeX\ in that it includes {\em macros\/}
which make \TeX\ easier to use.
\subsection{Lists, etc.}
You can also do lists, displayed text, and so on in \LaTeX:
\begin{itemize}
\item lists with bullets,
\item enumerated lists,
\item descriptions,
\item indented quotations
\end{itemize}
Footnotes\footnote{This is an example of a footnote.}
pose no problem. Other useful things like a bibliography,
a table of contents, a list of figures or tables are handled
as well.
\section{Math, tables, and figures}
\TeX\ is good at typesetting mathematical formulas like
$x-3y = 7r$ or
\[ f(x) = \int_0^1 e^{-t} g(t) \, dt. \]
You can also do tables and figures; if you want, \TeX\ will try
to figure out where to place them in your document (i.e., they
``float'').
