This section contains hints on writing LaTeX.
It focuses on minimal examples, which can be directly adapted to the content

\subsection{Handling of paragraphs}

\begin{ltgexample}
One sentence per line.
This rule is important for the usage of version control systems.
A new line is generated with a blank line.
As you would do in Word:
New paragraphs are generated by pressing enter.
In LaTeX, this does not lead to a new paragraph as LaTeX joins subsequent lines.
In case you want a new paragraph, just press enter twice (!).
This leads to an empty line.
In word, there is the functionality to press shift and enter.
This leads to a hard line break.
The text starts at the beginning of a new line.
In LaTeX, you can do that by using two backslashes (\textbackslash\textbackslash).\\
This is rarely used.

Please do \textit{not} use two backslashes for new paragraphs.
For instance, this sentence belongs to the same paragraph, whereas the last one started a new one.
A long motivation for that is provided at \url{http://loopspace.mathforge.org/HowDidIDoThat/TeX/VCS/#section.3}.
\end{ltgexample}

\subsection{Notes separated from the text}

The package mindflow enables writing down notes and annotations in a way so that they are separated from the main text.

\begin{ltgexample}
\begin{mindflow}
This is a small note.
\end{mindflow}
\end{ltgexample}

\subsection{Hyphenation}

\LaTeX{} automatically hyphenates words.
When using microtype, there should be less hypnetations than in other settings.
It might be necessary to tweak the hyphenations nevertheless.
Here are some hints:

\begin{ltgexample}
In case you write \enquote{application-specific}, then the word will only be hyphenated at the dash.
You can also write \verb1applica\allowbreak{}tion-specific1 (result: applica\allowbreak{}tion-specific), but this is much more effort.

You can now write words containing hyphens which are hyphenated at other places in the word.
For instance, \verb1application"=specific1 gets application"=specific.
This is enabled by an additional configuration of the babel package.
\end{ltgexample}

\subsection{Typesetting Units}

\begin{ltgexample}
Numbers can be written plain text (such as 100), by using the siunitx package as follows:
\SI{100}{\km\per\hour},
or by using plain \LaTeX{} (and math mode):
$100 \frac{\mathit{km}}{h}$.
\end{ltgexample}

\begin{ltgexample}
\SI{5}{\percent} of \SI{10}{kg}
\end{ltgexample}

\begin{ltgexample}
Numbers are automatically grouped: \num{123456}.
\end{ltgexample}

\subsection{Surrounding Text by Quotes}

\begin{ltgexample}
Please use the \enquote{enquote command} to quote something.
Quoting with "`quote"' or ``quote'' also works.

\end{ltgexample}

\subsection{Cleveref examples}
\label{sec:ex:cref}

Cleveref demonstration: Cref at beginning of sentence, cref in all other cases.

\begin{figure}
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=.75\linewidth]{example-image-a}
    \caption{Example figure for cref demo}
    \label{fig:ex:cref}
\end{figure}

\begin{table}
    \centering
    \begin{tabular}{ll}
      \toprule
      Heading1 & Heading2 \\
      \midrule
      One      & Two      \\
      Thee     & Four     \\
      \bottomrule
    \end{tabular}
    \caption{Example table for cref demo}
    \label{tab:ex:cref}
\end{table}

\begin{ltgexample}
\Cref{fig:ex:cref} shows a simple fact, although \cref{fig:ex:cref} could also show something else.

\Cref{tab:ex:cref} shows a simple fact, although \cref{tab:ex:cref} could also show something else.

\Cref{sec:ex:cref} shows a simple fact, although \cref{sec:ex:cref} could also show something else.
\end{ltgexample}

\subsection{Figures}

\begin{ltgexample}
\Cref{fig:label} shows something interesting.

\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=.8\linewidth]{example-image-golden}
  \caption[Simple Figure]{Simple Figure. Based on \citet{mwe}.}
  \label{fig:label}
\end{figure}
\end{ltgexample}

One can also have pictures floating inside text:
\clearpage

\begin{ltgexample}
\begin{floatingfigure}{.33\linewidth}
\includegraphics[width=.29\linewidth]{example-image-a}
\caption{A floating figure}
\end{floatingfigure}
\blindtext[2]
\end{ltgexample}

\subsection{Sub Figures}

An example of two sub figures is shown in \cref{fig:two_sub_figures}.

\begin{ltgexample}
\begin{figure}[!b]
    \centering
    \subfloat[Case I]{\includegraphics[width=.4\linewidth]{example-image-a}%
    \label{fig:first_case}}
  \hfil
    \subfloat[Case II]{\includegraphics[width=.4\linewidth]{example-image-b}%
    \label{fig:second_case}}
  \caption{Example figure with two sub figures.}
  \label{fig:two_sub_figures}
\end{figure}
\end{ltgexample}

\subsection{Tables}

\begin{ltgexample}
\begin{table}
  \caption{Simple Table}
  \label{tab:simple}
  \centering
  \begin{tabular}{ll}
    \toprule
    Heading1 & Heading2 \\
    \midrule
    One      & Two      \\
    Thee     & Four     \\
    \bottomrule
  \end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{ltgexample}

\begin{ltgexample}
% Source: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/468994/9075
\begin{table}
\caption{Table with diagonal line}
\label{tab:diag}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|}
\hline
\diagbox[width=10em]{Diag\\Column Head I}{Diag Column\\Head II} & Second & Third \\
\hline
& foo & bar \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
\end{ltgexample}


\subsection{Source Code}

\href{https://github.com/gpoore/minted}{minted} is a sophisticated package to enable properly highlighted listings.
It uses the \href{http://pygments.org/}{pygments} library, which in turn requires Python.

\begin{ltgexample}
\Cref{lst:XML} shows source code written in XML.
\refline{line:comment} contains a comment.

\begin{listing}[htbp]
    \begin{minted}[linenos=true,escapeinside=||]{xml}
<listing name="example">
  <!-- comment --> |\labelline{line:comment}|
  <content>not interesting</content>
</listing>
\end{minted}
  \caption{Example XML listing using minted}
  \label{lst:XML}
\end{listing}
\end{ltgexample}

One can also typeset JSON as shown in \cref{lst:flJSON}.

\begin{ltgexample}
\begin{listing}[htbp]
    \begin{minted}[linenos=true,escapeinside=||]{json}
{
  key: "value"
}
\end{minted}
  \caption{Example JSON listing using minted}
  \label{lst:flJSON}
\end{listing}
\end{ltgexample}

Java is also possible as shown in \cref{lst:flJava}.

\begin{ltgexample}
\begin{listing}[htbp]
    \begin{minted}[linenos=true,escapeinside=||]{java}
public class Hello {
    public static void main (String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}
\end{minted}
  \caption{Java code rendered using minted}
  \label{lst:flJava}
\end{listing}
\end{ltgexample}

\subsection{Itemization}

One can list items as follows:

\begin{ltgexample}
\begin{itemize}
\item Item One
\item Item Two
\end{itemize}
\end{ltgexample}


One can enumerate items as follows:

\begin{ltgexample}
\begin{enumerate}
  \item Item One
  \item Item Two
\end{enumerate}
\end{ltgexample}


With paralist, one can even have all items typset after each other and have them clean in the tex document:

\begin{ltgexample}
\begin{inparaenum}
  \item All these items...
  \item ...appear in one line
  \item This is enabled by the paralist package.
\end{inparaenum}
\end{ltgexample}

\subsection{Other Features}

\begin{ltgexample}
The words \enquote{workflow} and \enquote{dwarflike} can be copied from the PDF and pasted to a text file.
\end{ltgexample}

\begin{ltgexample}
The symbol for powerset is now correct: $\powerset$ and not a Weierstrass p ($\wp$).

$\powerset({1,2,3})$
\end{ltgexample}

\begin{ltgexample}
Brackets work as designed:
<test>
One can also input backquotes in verbatim text: \verb|`test`|.
\end{ltgexample}
