  • contains mark-up language, similar to html or xml
  • edit with any text editor
  • output file is MyPaper.pdf, with live links
  • can copy all or part of one or more MyProgram.sas files
  • references or bibliography are easy

[edit] RefArt Kludge for SUGconf

This style file redefines the LaTeX maketitle command to produce a paper-number + title + author which conforms to SAS User Group conference paper guidelines.

\section{Introduction}

This is a demonstration of VerbatimInput.

\VerbatimInput[firstline=1,lastline=8]{\jobname}

\renewcommand\FileNameExt{\jobname}

Fehd posted a message to the texhax listserv with information about implementing the Information Mapping Block Label when using the RefArt class with a macro named marginparX.

The file MyPaper.bib is a lookup table for your citations. 

%name: MyPaper.bib for MyPaper.tex see \bibliography{\jobname}

[edit] Make a file: MyPaper.tex

Use these commands to setup and reference your bibliography entries. 

%preamble == setup
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}%provides full name
%\bibliographystyle{unsrtnat}%provides live url
\usepackage[numbers]{natbib}%usage: \citet{key} returns: NameLast [cite-#]
\usepackage[hyphens]{url}%allow line breaks in url
\newcommand{\CiteT}[2]{\citet[\href{#2}{#1}]{#1}}%end CiteT

%document
%references

without the macro function \%nrstr.

\bibliography{\jobname}%generates thebib environment from \jobname.bib

[edit] Packages

LaTeX has many helpful packages, add-ons, developed by its international user community.

[edit] Beamer

Darby and Fehd and Flom are using the beamer class to produce pdf that look and work like ppt.

http://latex-beamer.sourceforge.net/

Advantages:

  • frames can have overlays and (dis)appearing text
  • logo
  • navigation bar
  • page x of y
  • table of contents


Use this file as a template for your presentation:

Page X of Y in each slide, lower right corner. 

%preamble
\title[Short Title%
      \hspace{8em} pg. \alert{\thepage}\ of \pageref{LastPage}%
      ]%short title in square brackets
      {Long, Verbose, Main Title}

You will have to adjust the amount of white space between "Short Title" and "pg. X of Y" by increasing the number of em spaces.

  • "Short Title" ... \hspace{3em} ... pg. X of Y
  • "Short Title" ... \hspace{8em} ... ... ... ... pg. X of Y

The last slide must have a label of LastPage. 

\label{LastPage}%used in short title: of %\pageref{LastPage}%
\end{frame}
\end{document}
\endinput

Here is template for a frame with a program listing: 

%preamble:
\newcommand{\FontSize}{large}

\begin{frame}[fragile]{Title}{Subtitle}
\begin{\FontSize}
PROC Print data   =  \alert{&Data.}
\pause
          (where  =        (&Where.));
\alt<3->
\begin{semiverbatim}
PROC Print data   =  &Data.
          (where  =        (&Where.));
           title2   "&Data..&Where. ";
run;
\end{semiverbatim}
\end{\FontSize}
%note in lower right corner
\vfill \hfill is.a subroutine: no calls
\end{frame}

You can use these commands within the semiverbatim environment.

  • \pause
  • \alert{text in red},
  • \alt<3-> shown from overlay three onward
  • \uncover<4->{text of overlay 4 to uncover in brackets}

Stacking the description environment with the \relax command. 

\begin{frame}{Summary}{Magic}
   \begin{description}
      \item[Data Struc.] \relax
      \begin{itemize}
         \item \texttt{if 0 then set \&CxData.}
         \item \texttt{array Mvar(\alert{*}) character}
         \end{itemize}
      \item[Loop] \relax
      \begin{itemize}

         \item \texttt{do I = 1 to dim(Mvar) \alert{-2}}
         \end{itemize}
      \item[Process] \relax
      \begin{itemize}
         \item \texttt{Name  = vname(Mvar(I))}
         \item \texttt{Stmnt =  catx(' ' ,'\%let',Name,'=',Mvar(I)}
         \end{itemize}
      \end{description}
\label{lastPage}%used in short title: of %\pageref{lastPage}%
\end{frame}

[edit] FancyVerb 

%preamble == setup
\newcommand\FileNameExt{FileName.ext}
\newcommand\PathTo{../sas/}%SAS programs are in sibling directory
\newcommand\PgRef[1]{\P\/ \ref{#1}, p. \pageref{#1}}
%usage:\seealso{\PgRef{ss:allocating.e-vars}}
\usepackage{fancyvrb}%VerbatimInput
\fvset{fontsize=\relsize{-2}
      ,frame=single%none leftline topline bottomline lines single
%     ,frame=leftline%none leftline topline bottomline lines single
      ,firstline=1%integer
%     ,lastline=1%integer
%     ,firstnumber=last%auto:1 last integer
      ,label=\FileNameExt%label={[top line]bottom line}
%     ,labelposition=%none topline bottomline all
      ,numbers=left%none left right
      ,numberblanklines=false
      }%end fvset
%document usage
This is a demonstration of VerbatimInput.
Note the label is FileName.ext.

\VerbatimInput[firstline=1,lastline=8]{\jobname}

Now the label is MyPaper.tex
\renewcommand\FileNameExt{\jobname}
\VerbatimInput[firstline=9,lastline=17]{\FileNameExt}

[edit] HyperRef

http://www.tug.org/applications/hyperref/ftp/doc/manual.html

The HyperRef Package must be loaded last, after all other packages, except minitoc, because it redefines LaTeX internal referencing commands. 

\usepackage[bookmarks   =false%SUGI style guide
           ,pdfusetitle%author and title
           ,pdfstartview=FitBH%fit width of page to the window
