LaTeX Documentation
On all Linux computers of the faculty, the LaTeX distribution TexLive is installed. In addition, a number of further LaTeX classes are availabale, which are described here.
Letters and announcements in the new corporate design 2019
The class math-brief-2019 can be used to write letters with the new, official faculty letter head. An example letter describing all options can be found on each computer at the path
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/math-brief-2019/math-brief-2019.tex
To produce announcements and posters, the class math-aushang-2019 can be used. An example with explanations can be found at
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/math-brief-2019/math-aushang-2019.tex
Letters and announcements in the old corporate design 2008
The class math-brief can be used to write letters with the old official faculty letter head. An example letter describing all options can be found on each computer at the path
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/math-brief/math-brief.tex
There ist also a class math-neutral for a letter without address, just with the university logo and possibly the sender address. An example of its usage can be found at
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/math-brief/math-neutral.tex
To produce announcements and posters, the class math-aushang can be used. An example is available at
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/math-brief/math-aushang.tex
The Euro-Sign
The Euro sign can be made available with the package marvosym. If you put
\usepackage{marvosym}
into the header of your LaTeX file, you can enter the Euro sign as \EUR.
LaTeX and UTF-8 encoding
All computers of the faculty use UTF-8 font encoding by default. UTF-8 encoded LaTeX source files containing non-ASCII characters like Umlaute can be processed directly with LaTeX, if the following option is added to the header:
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
This avoids having to write \"a for ä, etc. In a similar way, support for files encoded in ISO latin1 or othe encodings can be added.
The support for other languages is described here.
