Hey LaTeX users on Product Hunt 👋🏻 There is no doubt that LaTeX is an awesome tool for preparing highly-structured documents with advanced referencing/typesetting capabilities. In fact, it's the de-facto document preparation system adopted by both the mathematical and the technical/scientific community. But alas, if you're a LaTeX document control freak, then you might also have had the experience of trying out some features by looking around manuals, documentations and forum, trying out the codes, and getting burned in the process. In fact, this has happened to us many, many times before... So we thought to ourselves: "Geez. Why don't we just compile our experience and mistakes in LaTeX into a giant, epic cheat sheet — one that would include most commands, environments and packages a typical LaTeX user would ever need — into succinct bullet-point forms?" And lo and hehold, The Ultimate LaTeX Reference Guide is born. In essence, the guide will — in record time — provide you with the code and syntax needed to implement features from document structuring, typesetting to formatting and referencing. This means that you don't have to waste more time and energy into troubleshooting, or binge-reading manuals and forums for hours and days like we did. And if you're looking for an extended outline as to what it actually includes, here it is: 1) Document Structure 1.1) Doc​​​​ument Class 1.2) Preamble 1.3) Metadata 1.4) Title Portion 1.5) Front Matter 1.6) Sectioning Commands 1.6.1) Sectional Structures 1.6.2) Sectional Units 2) Typesetting 2.1) Text Symbols 2.2) Text Ornaments 2.3) Preformatted Text 2.4) Modular features 2.4.1) Common Modules 2.4.2) List Environments 2.4.3) Table-Like Environments 2.4.4) Colored Modules 2.5) Float Environments 2.5.1) Introduction 2.5.2) Common Float Environments 2.6) Math Symbols 2.6.1) Greek Alphabets 2.6.2) Hebrew Alphabets 2.6.3) Standalone Symbols 2.6.4) Unary Symbols 2.6.5) Binary Symbols 2.6.6) Logical Symbols 2.6.7) Arrows 2.6.8) Fraction-Related Commands 2.6.9) Large Math Operators 2.6.10) Dots 2.6.11) Modality-Related Commands 2.7) Math Ornaments 2.7.1) Accent-Related Commands 2.7.2) Placement-Related Commands 2.7.3) Arrow/Box-Related Commands 2.8) Delimiters 2.9) Math Environments​​​​​ 2.9.1) Simple Equation Environments 2.9.2) Aligned Equation Environments 2.9.3) Other Equation-Related Environments 2.9.4) Array-Related Environments 2.9.5) Theorem-Like Environments 3) Formatting 3.1) Color 3.1.1) Color Types 3.1.2) Color-Related Commands 3.2) Font 3.2.1) Size 3.2.2) Common Styles 3.2.3) Math-Only Styles 3.2.4) Families 3.3) Length 3.3.1) Units and Types 3.3.2) Length-Related Commands 3.3.3) Common Length Macros 3.4) Counter 3.4.1) Counter-Related Commands 3.4.2) Common Counters 3.5) Spacing 3.5.1) Horizontal 3.5.2) Vertical 3.5.3) Multi-Dimensional 3.6) Filling 3.7) Document-Level Formatting 3.8) Page-Level Formatting 3.9) Column-Level Formatting 3.10) Paragraph-Level Formatting 3.11) Word-Level Formatting 4) Reference 4.1) In-Document Reference 4.2) Bibliography 4.2.1) Manually-Formatted References 4.2.2) BiBLaTeX 4.2.3) Citation Commands 4.3) Index 4.4) Glossary 5) Source-Code-Related Features 6) Additional Resources​ Yes.
