For editing LaTeX files on RHEL7, [https://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/ Texmaker] is available as a GNU module.

	* Create a working directory. ~~Traverse into it~~, ~~and create~~ a ~~file <tt>example~~.~~tex</tt>~~ with the following ~~contents~~:		Most of our supported Linux systems come with the LaTeX command-line utilities, as well as TeX Live, installed. Supported RHEL7 workstations come with Tex Live 2013, but you can load a newer version of TeX Live as a GNU module.

			===Checking installed packages===

			TeX Live comes with tons of packages preinstalled. To get a list of installed packages, you must first load the TeX Live GNU module. You can then use the following command:

	<pre>		<pre>
	~~\documentclass[12pt]{article}~~		$ tlmgr list --only-installed</pre>
	~~\usepackage{amsmath}~~
	~~\title{\LaTeX}~~		If you know which package you are looking for, you can pipe the output into <tt>grep</tt> to search for specific packages.
	~~\date{}~~
	~~\begin{document}~~		===Compiling to PDF===
	~~\maketitle~~
	~~\LaTeX{} is a document preparation system for the \TeX{}~~
	~~typesetting program. It offers programmable desktop~~
	~~publishing features and extensive facilities~~ for
	~~automating most aspects of typesetting and desktop~~
	~~publishing, including numbering and cross-referencing,~~
	~~tables and figures, page layout, bibliographies~~, ~~and~~
	~~much more. \LaTeX{} was originally written in 1984 by~~
	~~Leslie Lamport and has become~~ the ~~dominant method~~ for
	~~using \TeX; few people write in plain \TeX{} anymore.~~
	~~The current version is \LaTeXe~~.

	~~% This is a comment, not shown in final output.~~
	~~% The following shows typesetting power of LaTeX:~~
	~~\begin{align}~~
	~~E_0 &~~= ~~mc^2 \\~~
	~~E &~~= ~~\frac{mc^2}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}~~
	~~\end{align}~~
	~~\end{document}~~
	~~</pre>~~

	* Compile the file using the <tt>~~latex~~</tt> ~~command~~. ~~Your output should be similar to the following:~~		The following is an example of compiling <tt>example.tex</tt> to a PDF.

	<pre>		<ol>
	~~[jlent@opensub01 example]~~$ latex example.tex		<li>
	This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.3-1.40.12 (TeX Live ~~2011~~)		Compile the file into a DVI file by using the <tt>latex</tt> command.
