Writing LaTeX Documents

MWE with basic features

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{xr}

\title{let's have fun}
\author{somebody}

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\tableofcontents

text

\end{document}

Notes.

• The geometry package is assumed, the a4paper option is passed to it.
• You might also use Xelatex or Lualatex instead of utf8 inputenc.
• The cquotes package goes together with the babel package.

Bibliography

Use Biblatex and Biber instead of Bibtex,

\usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex}

In combination with footcite replacement (see below),

\usepackage[style=verbose-trad1,dashed=false,backend=biber,autolang=other]{biblatex}

Define your bib files using addbibresource,

\addbibresource{latex}

Notes.

• the .bib file extention is optional on e.g. here latex.bib.
• babel=other is depreceted. Use autloang= instead.

After that, eventually switch to footnodes instead of end of document references,

\let\cite=\footcite

Or simply print the bibliography at the end,

\printbibliography

Internationalization

The last defined language becomes the default (here french),

\usepackage[english,ngerman,frenchb]{babel}

Add this below the biblatex package definition,

\renewcommand*{\mkbibnamelast}{\textsc}

Other Biblatex enhancements,

\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{first-last}
\renewcommand{\newunitpunct}{\addcomma\space}
\renewcommand{\mkibid}{\emph}

Eventually rename the bibloography section header,

\addto\captionsfrenchb{\renewcommand\refname{Enquête et bibliographie}}

Enabling Quotes and Quotations

Built-in quoting feature: \quote{} and \quotation{}.

With \usepackage{csquotes} (that goes with babel) you can use \begin{displayquote} or \enquote{quote here}.

With \usepackage{dirtytalk} you can use \say{quote here}.

OPERATIONS

Compile the shit,

latex latex
biber latex
latex latex
#eventually twice,
latex latex

Fancy Code Blocks

vi preamble.tex

\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{listings}

\lstset{
    basicstyle=\ttfamily,
    numbers=left,
    keywordstyle=\color[rgb]{0.13,0.29,0.53}\bfseries,
    stringstyle=\color[rgb]{0.31,0.60,0.02},
    commentstyle=\color[rgb]{0.56,0.35,0.01}\itshape,
    numberstyle=\footnotesize,
    stepnumber=0,
    numbersep=5pt,
    backgroundcolor=\color[RGB]{248,248,248},
    showspaces=false,
    showstringspaces=false,
    showtabs=false,
    tabsize=2,
    captionpos=b,
    breaklines=true,
    breakatwhitespace=true,
    breakautoindent=true,
    escapeinside={\%*}{*)},
    linewidth=\textwidth,
    basewidth=0.5em,
}

and you need to add either the listings package manually in the preamble or with --listings
