enclose the expression within $ signs after including amsmath package
Code:
\include{amsmath}
$ a^2 + 2*a*b + b^2 $. \\
Also, I would like to create some keyboard shortcuts for things I frequently type: Greek characters such as \lambda, the integral symbol \int, the curly d in a partial derivative \partial, etc. If I had a library of these shortcuts, over time I could memorize them and type everything up much faster.
not exaclty and answer. keyboard shortcuts ==> editor stuff. but in the source code if you want to use a command instead of some long-words used repeatedly..for example.."i like ubuntu"
use \newcommand command
eg:
Code:
\newcommand{\ilu}{I like ubuntu}
then use the shortcut command inside the source code...
Also, this is kind of unrelated, but does someone know how to widen the margins? Page layout is very complicated, and every try to get 1" margins all around has failed. I try to keep the margins small so I can use paper efficiently.
include a new package called geometry.
Code:
\usepackage[left=1in,right=1in,top=1in,bottom=1in]{geometry}
hope this helps...
search for lshort.pdf in google and download that very helpful latex guide...its oxygen!
