Latex

I am not sure whether to put it in "get start" section or in tutorial section.

Latex is relatively simple once you get the basic idea. You can start from the tutorial website of Overleaf. Most of contents need to know are in the tutorial, while the only thing I would like to mention is the procedure to cite papers.

To cite papers, we use bibtex in our Latex projects. The concept of bibtex may be confused now, but all we need to know is only to use it in our projects. First, we have a .bib file in our Latex project, stands as a reference database file. The format of it looks like this:

Then we have a paper we are going to add into this reference database, that's said it is the famous paper "Attention is all you need." To add it into the database, we need to find the papers' bibtex format, which can be simply found in either Google scholar:

Click the BibTex link, and copy all the content then paste in the newline in the .bib file.

However, sometimes the google scholar provides inaccurate reference. It will show the paper is published in "arxiv", while the paper is actually published in a formal conference. Then we need to check another resource for the papers' reference. At this time, I will check dblp. And the process is very similar above, find the bibtex and paste it into the .bib file.

Just press the export button and choose bibtex format.
