Notes on LaTeX
--------------
Special characters:    #   $   %   &   ~   _   ^   {   }   \             

To produce literally:  \#  \$  \%  \&  \~  \_  \^  \{  \}  $\backslash$  

To avoid extra space generated after a period which does not end a sentence,
follow the period directly by a backslash and blank, e.g.\ Dr.\ Who

To insert extra horizontal space use one or more ~

To make some text bold font: \textbf{some text...}

To make some text red: \textcolor{red}{some text...}

To make a numbered list:

  \begin{enumerate} \item thing one \item thing two ... \end{enumerate}

To start a new paragraph in most situations, insert an empty line

To start a new line in most situations, use \newline or \\

To start a new line in a table entry, like the syllabus schedule entries,
use \parbox, e.g. \parbox[t]{0.6in}{Chapter 1\\Chapter 2\vspace{0.05in}}

Schedule column tabularx alignment options: l (left), c (center), r (right), X (paragraph)

To make a local copy of the LaTeX files: use the View "browse" link and download
outline.tex, college.tex, and config.tex; the first two are the templates, which
are the same for all courses; config.tex is the course-specific configuration.
