Latex For Beginners Part 2

This part will be dedicated to talking about Parts, Chapters, Sections and Paragraphs. The hierarchy being just that, so for those who don't click a lot in Microsoft Word to make sure everything is the right hierarchy, you're going to have to type it now! (Honestly I rather type than click a lot).

For those wondering what a section is, it's another word for header, but more general since latex serves different needs for documents.

Defining these are simple, just put \ in front of the word, like so:

\part{Part 1} \chapter{Chapter 1} \section{Section 1} \paragraph{Paragraph 1} \par Text % \par is for paragraph text, as it indents 

Except for \par, they all have alternate forms by putting * in front of the word, this is to not have the numbers and such
shown.

Let's make a new document and use a variety of these to really show how they work:

\documentclass[11pt, letterpaper, oneside]{book} % To use chapter, it must be book class \title{Latex For Beginners Part 2} \author{Mustafif} \date{\today} \begin{document} \maketitle % create title page  \pagenumbering{arabic} %define page numbering \newpage \tableofcontents % set table of contents \newpage \part{The first of the first} \chapter{I am chapter} \section{I am the section} \subsection{I am subsection} \subsubsection{I am subsubsection} \section*{I have no number and TOC won't see me} \end{document} 

Run pdflatex part2.tex and you'll see something like this:

In the next part we will discuss Equations, the fun and the pain
