+% This is a sample LaTeX input file. (Version of 9 April 1986)
+%
+% A '%' character causes TeX to ignore all remaining text on the line,
+% and is used for comments like this one.
+
+\documentclass{article} % Specifies the document style.
+
+ % The preamble begins here.
+\title{A Sample Document} % Declares the document's title.
+\author{Leslie Lamport} % Declares the author's name.
+\date{December 12, 1984} % Deleting this command produces today's date.
+
+\begin{document} % End of preamble and beginning of text.
+
+\maketitle % Produces the title.
+
+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} % Produces section heading. Lower-level
+ % sections are begun with similar
+ % \subsection and \subsubsection commands.
+
+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.
+
+Since any number of consecutive spaces are treated like a single
+one, the formatting of the input file makes no difference to
+ \TeX, % The \TeX command generates the TeX logo.
+but it makes a difference to you.
+When you use
+ \LaTeX, % The \LaTeX command generates the LaTeX logo.
+making your input file as easy to read as possible
+will be a great help as you write your document and when you
+change it. This sample file shows how you can add comments to
+your own input file.
+
+Because printing is different from typewriting, there are a
+number of things that you have to do differently when preparing
+an input file than if you were just typing the document directly.
+Quotation marks like
+ ``this''
+have to be handled specially, as do quotes within quotes:
+ ``\,`this' % \, separates the double and single quote.
+ is what I just
+ wrote, not `that'\,''.
+
+Dashes come in three sizes: an
+ intra-word
+dash, a medium dash for number ranges like
+ 1--2,
+and a punctuation
+ dash---like
+this.
+
+A sentence-ending space should be larger than the space between words
+within a sentence. You sometimes have to type special commands in
+conjunction with punctuation characters to get this right, as in the
+following sentence.
+ Gnats, gnus, etc.\ % `\ ' makes an inter-word space.
+ all begin with G\@. % \@ marks end-of-sentence punctuation.
+You should check the spaces after periods when reading your output to
+make sure you haven't forgotten any special cases.
+Generating an ellipsis
+ \ldots\ % `\ ' needed because TeX ignores spaces after
+ % command names like \ldots made from \ + letters.
+ %
+ % Note how a `%' character causes TeX to ignore the
+ % end of the input line, so these blank lines do not
+ % start a new paragraph.
+with the right spacing around the periods
+requires a special command.
+
+\TeX\ interprets some common characters as commands, so you
+must type special commands to generate them. These
+characters include the following:
+ \$ \& \% \# \{ and \}.
+
+In printing, text is emphasized by using an %% END OF FIRST PAGE
+ {\em italic\/} % The \/ command produces the tiny
+ % extra space that should be added
+ % between a slanted and a following
+ % unslanted letter.
+type style.
+
+\begin{em}
+ A long segment of text can also be emphasized in this way. Text within
+ such a segment given additional emphasis
+ with\/ {\em Roman}
+ type. Italic type loses its ability to emphasize and become simply
+ distracting when used excessively.
+\end{em}
+
+It is sometimes necessary to prevent \TeX\ from breaking a line where
+it might otherwise do so. This may be at a space, as between the
+``Mr.'' and ``Jones'' in
+ ``Mr.~Jones'', % ~ produces an unbreakable interword space.
+or within a word---especially when the word is a symbol like
+ \mbox{\em itemnum\/}
+that makes little sense when hyphenated across
+ lines.
+
+Footnotes\footnote{This is an example of a footnote.}
+pose no problem.
+
+\TeX\ is good at typesetting mathematical formulas like
+ \( x-3y = 7 \)
+or
+ \( a_{1} > x^{2n} / y^{2n} > x' \).
+Remember that a letter like
+ $x$ % $ ... $ and \( ... \) are equivalent
+is a formula when it denotes a mathematical symbol, and should
+be treated as one.
+
+\section{Displayed Text}
+
+Text is displayed by indenting it from the left margin.
+Quotations are commonly displayed. There are short quotations
+\begin{quote}
+ This is a short a quotation. It consists of a
+ single paragraph of text. There is no paragraph
+ indentation.
+\end{quote}
+and longer ones.
+\begin{quotation}
+ This is a longer quotation. It consists of two paragraphs
+ of text. The beginning of each paragraph is indicated
+ by an extra indentation.
+
+ This is the second paragraph of the quotation. It is just
+ as dull as the first paragraph.
+\end{quotation}
+Another frequently-displayed structure is a list.
+The following is an example of an {\em itemized} list.
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item This is the first item of an itemized list. Each item
+ in the list is marked with a ``tick''. The document
+ style determines what kind of tick mark is used.
+
+ \item This is the second item of the list. It contains another
+ list nested inside it. The inner list is an {\em enumerated}
+ list.
+ \begin{enumerate}
+ \item This is the first item of an enumerated list that
+ is nested within the itemized list.
+
+ \item This is the second item of the inner list. \LaTeX\
+ allows you to nest lists deeper than you really should.
+ \end{enumerate}
+ This is the rest of the second item of the outer list. It
+ is no more interesting than any other part of the item.
+ %% END OF SECOND PAGE
+ \item This is the third item of the list.
+\end{itemize}
+You can even display poetry.
+\begin{verse}
+ There is an environment for verse \\ % The \\ command separates lines
+ Whose features some poets will curse. % within a stanza.
+
+ % One or more blank lines separate stanzas.
+
+ For instead of making\\
+ Them do {\em all\/} line breaking, \\
+ It allows them to put too many words on a line when they'd
+ rather be forced to be terse.
+\end{verse}
+
+Mathematical formulas may also be displayed. A displayed formula is
+one-line long; multiline formulas require special formatting
+instructions.
+ \[ x' + y^{2} = z_{i}^{2}\]
+Don't start a paragraph with a displayed equation, nor make
+one a paragraph by itself.
+
+\end{document} % End of document.
