\documentclass{article} % \documentclass{} is the first command in any LaTeX code. It is used to define what kind of document you are creating such as an article or a book, and begins the document preamble |

\textbf{Hello World!} Today I am learning \LaTeX. %notice how the command will end at the first non-alphabet charecter such as the . after \LaTeX |
| 18 |
\LaTeX{} is a great program for writing math. I can write in line math such as $a^2+b^2=c^2$ %$ tells LaTexX to compile as math |
| 19 |
. I can also give equations their own space: |
| 20 |
\begin{equation} % Creates an equation environment and is compiled as math |
| 21 |
\gamma^2+\theta^2=\omega^2 |
| 22 |
\end{equation} |
| 23 |
If I do not leave any blank lines \LaTeX{} will continue this text without making it into a new paragraph. Notice how there was no indentation in the text after equation (1). |
| 24 |
Also notice how even though I hit enter after that sentence and here $\downarrow$ |
| 25 |
\LaTeX{} formats the sentence without any break. Also look how it doesn't matter how many spaces I put between my words. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
For a new paragraph I can leave a blank space in my code. |
