What is Structure in Latex ?
- When writing a paper, it's essential to structure the content into logic units.
- To achieve this, LaTeX provides us commands to make section headings and number them automatically.
- The commands to make section headings are straightforward:
\section{}
\subsection{}
\subsubsection{}
\paragraph{}
\subparagraph{}
Example:
- The section commands are numbered and will appear in the table of contents of your document.
- Paragraphs aren't numbered and won't show in the table of contents. Here an example output using sections:
- In order to get this output, we just have to add a few lines to our program.
