My favorite LaTeX Tricks to save time

What tricks to you all like for writing in LaTeX?

Is there some way to import a table from one .tex file to another .tex file

😂😂😂

How to get latex format? dr.

ngl exporting custum definitions to a .sty was a nice tip thanks lol

Mathpix Snipping Tool is a great tool. Unfortunately, there is a limit for free users.

the best latex trick is to use MS word. WYSIWYG - a true blessing.

Cleveref is worth is weight in gold thank you!

One thing I couldn't make it perfect, even with the help of ChatGPT. I was trying to have two figures (flowcharts) next to each other and the table set next to them. I spent whole night but I gave up😢. I did it easily in word by making the figures to set inside tables.

Anyone else here not like Overleaf?

I personally like having my files local, and not on someone else’s machine. I also like being able to craft my own LaTex environment. Am I alone in this?

Do you have an intro video on latex, I’m a math teacher but I’ve never used it. I make all my assignments on paper or drawing apps and copy them. Apparently it takes for ever.

The \includeonly command was sooo useful to me while I was writing mi thesis

About Cleveref... does it has an option to "link" to the equation?
The \ref{stuff} (the one not from Cleveref) makes the number clickable, if you do that, you can go to the equation, does Cleveref has something like that?

Another comment about the "be semantic" topic: sometimes you don't have freedom to format.
Sections must be centralized, enumerated with roman numerals, with specific size and all....
If you were doing this "manually", It'd be quite the job. If you are lucky, the required format is available as a style or a class... so you just \section{stuff} and don't worry about it. (Frankly if you are doing it manually, just use a What-You See-Is-What-You-Get tool, there might even be a template with the format available).

I can't wait for AI to finally erradicate Latex from the phase of the earth... but this is video is cool :3

This is amazing! I used LaTeX for my Uni dissertation 5 years ago but barely used it since and I'm trying to get back into it, this has been a massive help!

Question. Can you include a video file in your latex presentation, let's say that presentation is made using beamer? I' ve tried a lot of different stuff and it doesn't work.

Amazing content, kep doing this, youre helping me so much

Lol i wished i knew about all this when i first started writing in LaTeX. The kind of environment i'm in just let people dive in directly and learn on our own so inefficient writing is kind of normal, but i guess so far that's the best way to do it.

Btw, on the "Be Semantic" section, it seems like there are these special commands that "understand" the intention of the writer (\emph, \newtheorem, etc) what other commands are there? do you happen to know a reference/keyword to search for this? and are there commands to be used outside the context of pure math (like physics)? Thanks!

Hello Sir, thank you for these Tipps. Unfortunately cleveref doesn't load .... it promts me with "package not found". I've already tried different LaTex IED with the same error...
Do you know something about that? Thank you very much.

doesn't the autoref command from the hyperref package do the exact same thing as cleveref?

"Squiggly Brackets">"Braces"

Love the hoodie!! Where can I get one?

Oh yes, a new LaTeX video ❤❤ So happy that Overleaf is supporting this!

oka you have got me hooked on LaTeX

Off topic but can you please recomment a good book to get a refresher learn more on euclidean geometry, and basic of all common shapes like ellipse, parabola etc.

Hello sir. If I want to use Eq. instead of eq. in my document using cleverref. Can you please shed help in this regard? Thank you for creating such videos.

Thank you, Sir. This video really help me out.

As a math teacher at a small community college these have been a massive blessing. I've only ever been self taught with LaTex so this series has help make the notes look a LOT better.

Might seem odd, but I find the \qty command from the physics package a much cleaner way to do auto-sizing braces than the traditional \left( \right). Also comes with handy calculus commands.

These tricks + vim + snippets = faster than by hand

I commented on an earlier video that the overly positive tone on Overleaf functionalities was a bit tiring (especially if you are already an Overleaf user!). This video really struck a perfect balance between information and sponsorship, for a product that I really believe in. I really love your content. Keep up the good work!

Trefor, could you make a video showing how to incorporate Matlab code on LaTeX documents?

Is there a transcript available?

Dr Trefor Bazett have you deleted some playlists? I thought you had many more playlists....

When I need it the most, you made a video about it!!! you are amazing sir!

Wow, great and time saver, Tricks.

Been using LaTeX for many years but this video was still very informative!!

If you want to do it even faster, you have to switch away from overleaf to something like vim. Vim snippets are so nice and they save so so so much time

Very useful tips

Thank you again! I've written about 10 homework assignments in LaTeX thanks to you, and I'm still learning and growing! :)

I love your sweat shirt with EAT SLEEP MVTH REPEAT

This is a great video. I have used LaTeX for over ten years now and actually didn't know about Cleveref, and while I knew about conditional formatting, I actually never bothered to learn how it works... And the fact that you don't need brackets around the name of \newcommands? My life has been a lie!

Regarding Cleveref: my preference is to capitalize the cross-reference names, which can be done with \usepackage[capitalize]{cleveref}. However, I would also like it to behave as \eqref when referring to equations, i.e., not write out the word "equation" at all, but just its number in parentheses. Does anyone happen to know of a quick way to get this behavior?

Overleaf is awesome

More LaTeX!!! Keep them coming.

this is really helpful, i just started writing my homework in latex this semester (third semester) and it really improved my overall style and made for better and much nicer looking solutions
