Capstone: a one-page report

Putting it all together

You now know the core of LaTeX: structure, formatting, maths, lists, and more.
A real document is just these pieces, combined. Let's build a small report.

$The capstone report: a title block, numbered sections, and a displayed equation$

Your toolkit recap

Structure: \section, \maketitle.
Text: \textbf, \emph.
Maths: $ ... $ , \frac, \sqrt.
Lists: itemize and enumerate.

Build the report

The starter has a title block ready. Add a \section, a bulleted list, and one inline formula.
Run often to watch the PDF take shape — that fast feedback is the joy of LaTeX.
When it looks good, press Check. Congratulations — you can write LaTeX!

Common mistakes

Build the document in parts and compile often.
A single missing } or $ can stop the whole compile — read the first error.

Finish this report using what you have learned. Add at least one \section, a bulleted list (\begin{itemize} with \items), and one inline formula in $ ... $ . Then Run to admire your PDF.

\documentclass{article}
\title{Why I Like LaTeX}
\author{A Student}
\begin{document}
\maketitle

% Add a \section, a bulleted list, and an inline formula below.

\end{document}

Click Run to compile and preview the PDF.

Polish the report. Break one section into a \subsection, and add a short numbered enumerate list of next steps. Small structure like this is what makes a report readable.

\documentclass{article}
\title{Project Report}
\author{A Student}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\section{Summary}
The project went well.

% Add a subsection heading and a numbered list of next steps below.
\end{document}
