Quotation marks are inserted into text using ` for open quotes, and '
for close quotes. If double quotes are needed you just type two
single quotes — ``This is a quotation,'' he said. Notice that you
can produce different length dashes by typing one, two and three
hyphens. Between hyphenated words use just one inter-word hyphen.
Two hyphens are often used for number ranges (23--45). Three hyphens
are used a bit like semicolons — you know the sort of thing.
\LaTeX\ always puts extra space after a full stop like this.
To prevent the extra gap occuring in the middle of a name you insert
a tie like this (Mr.~Jones).
This is a bit of prose which is gently building up to the excitement
of an equation.
\begin
y&=&ax^
+bx+c \nonumber
E&=&mc^2 \nonumber
&=& {{a\over b}\over c}
\end

Don't worry too much if it looks
complicated, the main purpose was to give an \emph
of the
quality of maths which \LaTeX\ can produce. Let's look at a rather
simpler formula. Subscripts are written ( x_
are written ( x^
). These are both in-line formulae.

This example illustrates a number of \LaTeX\ features. By comparing
the original and the processed text you should be able to see
\begin
\item How to open and close both single and double quotes.
\item How to produce dashes and what they look like.
\item How to typeset Ms.~Smith.
\item How to produce subscripts and superscripts.
\item How to emphasize a section of text \emph
.
\item How to produce a numbered list of things.
