\title{Using {\LaTeX} to Create  Documents}

\begin{abstract}
This document extends a previous paper on creating {\LaTeX} documents.
 Examples are provided within the text of the paper, but the reader can 
also view the source code for further clarity.  This paper was designed
to create a web page version to post on the Internet.

\section{Introduction}
{\LaTeX} is a text formatting program that is extensively
used to produce scientific journals, textbooks,  and many other publications.
The software is able to take 
irregular blocks of text with embedded commands, and assemble a device
independent file that can be displayed on a computer screen or sent to a
printer.
\par
Similar to HTML tags used for the World Wide Web, {\LaTeX}  commands  direct the program to produce a formatted document including graphics. 
Some of the formatting may seem more difficult than HTML, but the richness
available in {\LaTeX}  is amazing including mathematical symbols and even a 
separate tag for software's own name ($\backslash$LaTeX).  As of now, 
{\LaTeX} remains a standard for document presentation in many scientific 
communities.

\section{Some {\LaTeX} Basics}
There are some basic principles of {\LaTeX} that can help a person organize
a research paper.  These will be described in more detail in each subsection 
below with code examples for reference.
\subsection{Document Header or {\bf Preamble} }
The preamble of a {\LaTeX} document contains a number of global parameters
that will control the entire document.  It is similar to a Cascading Style
Sheet in HTML.
