LaTex in linux
 

Hi.. I have written a lot of latex in widows with compiling help from the program Technic center. Now i'am running FC4 and dont know how to 'tex-to-pdf'. Any good suggestions?
thx

Open Office Writer(at leas the 2.0 Novell Edition) has a pdf button bult right in. So all you have to do is open the file, click the button, and wham, you are done. Text, Spreadsheet,Presentation, anything readable by OO is made into PDF.

That help?

1) pdftex from tex source code to pdf
2) latex to produce a dvi output and then use dvipdf

I prefer the second method. If you used TeXnicentre with Miktex then if I recall well the second mehtod was used to produce the pdf file. If you want a Texnicentre look-like tex editor then have a look to kile.

These are the commands for compiling LaTeX:
compile to DVI
compile to PostScript
compile to PDF

besides the comand line options there's some frontend programs that can help. i use kile and i like it http://kile.sourceforge.net
