LaTeX is a document preparation system for high-quality typesetting. It is most often used for medium-to-large technical or scientific documents but it can be used for almost any form of publishing. It is a free software package created in 1985 by the American computer scientist Leslie Lamport as an addition to the TeX typesetting system. LaTeX was created to make it easier to produce general-purpose books, articles and many more. This document preparation system commonly used by scientists, engineers, mathematicians and other professionals. This workshop is helpful for students in typing their Research articles and Dissertation. This workshop is attended 41 Post graduate students.Unlike a typical “what you see is what you get” word processor such a Microsoft Word, LaTeX uses a plain text markup language which is compiled into a PDF document using optimal typographical rules. This results in professional-looking documents that are of a different class to the output from a word processor. The numerous customization options in LaTeX allow for the creation of a diversity of documents with precise control over layout and formatting. LaTeX lends itself well to the creation of templates which do not require advanced knowledge of LaTeX to use and manipulate, allowing a novice LaTeX user to create beautiful documents and learn LaTeX as they go. Students learnt the tool very well and hope will use in writing their seminars, dissertation, research paper etc.
