How to edit this document (on Mac)

• First clone this repo to your machine.

Follow the instructions on setting up MacTex and VSCode from this guide:

https://mathjiajia.github.io/vscode-and-latex/

TLDR:

• Download and install MacTex: Download link for Mac, note it's 4.96 Gb
• Search for and Install LaTeX Workshop Extension for VSCode
• If setup is successful, you can start editing dlc-link.tex, and you can open the preview window to see your changes take place live (see guide screenshot)
• It will recompile on every save

Things to note about Latex

• Special Symbols (for example ~ $ % etc.) have to be escaped using the \ character, see examples in current doc
• Most symbols have prettier typefaces when inserted specially, see e.g. tm superscript inserted using \textsuperscript{TM}, or take a look at these
• Learn latex: https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Learn_LaTeX_in_30_minutes and https://wch.github.io/latexsheet/
• ChatGPT is really good at Latex

It can be tiresome to edit documents this way, but the result is totally worth it.
