Of course in our example it won’t make any difference because all of our non-root files start with a chapter command which automatically starts a new page regardless. However there are a couple of differences between the two commands, firstly the \include command forces whatever is in the included file to be started on a new page, whereas \input doesn’t. An alternative command to \input is the \include command which would also add our chapters into the document. Now if we compile the document we can see that LaTeX has added in our chapters and automatically numbered them. To add our individual chapters into the actual report we use the \input command followed by the filename of the file we want to add to the document. I have now created all five files and you can see them and easily switch between them from the project panel on the left hand side. We have just started with a \chapter command and then composed the chapter splitting it up into sections. If we weren’t splitting our document up we would just start writing the chapters in-between the \begin command.
For this document I want to write five chapters. We begin it just like the documents we’ve made before, with a preamble specifying what document class we want to use and which packages we want to load up. tex file is what is called the ‘root document’ and is the file that will draw the whole document together. I will now demonstrate this by creating an example document with the report class. This makes our projects more modular and it makes them a lot tidier. When writing longer documents it is wise to split up your document into multiple files. Both of these classes enable you to add chapters in while this wasn’t an option in the article class. If however you want to create a longer document you would be wise to use either the book or report class. This document class is useful for producing short documents, for example articles for scientific journals. In the previous videos we’ve used the document class article.

Each video is accompanied by a transcript (listed below the video)-these in-situ transcripts replace the URLs shown at the start of each tutorial.
TEXSTUDIO TUTORIAL HOW TO
You don’t need any previous background knowledge, and by the end of these LaTeX guides you will be able to create and write basic LaTeX documents and have the knowledge to start learning how to create more complicated documents. However, the video content is still relevant and teaches you the basics of LaTeX-skills and expertise that will apply across all platforms.
TEXSTUDIO TUTORIAL SERIES
This seven-part series of LaTeX tutorial videos was first published in 2013 consequently, today's editor interface has changed considerably due to the development of ShareLaTeX and the subsequent merger of ShareLaTeX and Overleaf.
