This repository details our first adventures with LaTeX, otherwise known as a session entitled A short Introduction to LaTeX: or LaTeX in 105 minutes, most recently taught at the Oxford|Berlin summer school on Open and Responsible Research taking place in person on the 20th of November, 2023. It's going to be delivered as a hybrid of a more typical lecture style and a live-coding workshop, with short pauses for you to try and implement things as we go. Depending on the number of participants, we might split into groups of two and undertake pair-programming for the exercises. The entire workshop is contained within the .tex document, and also acts as a very short reference manual/cheat-sheet. There naturally needs to be some slight appreciation of the self-awareness of a document of this type; it's teaching while it's also creating, all-in-one! Most importantly, this is a capacity building exercise for you; not to teach \textit{everything} about \LaTeX{}, but to empower you to learn how to become an expert typesetter in your own time.

The majority of the main content is found in latex_in_105_minutes.tex, which can be compiled through any major TeX engine. Files in ./supplementary/ are used as \inputs{} to this file.
