# To insert a table of contents
A table of contents (ToC) is produced by inserting \tableofcontents at the appropriate place in your document.

# To get a partial derivative in latex
\partial

# symbols
# angstrom in text mode
\AA

# To insert a close enough degree symbol in latex
$^{\circ}$

# math symbols
\mp for +-
\equiv for equivalent

# tilde
\sim

# infinity
\infty

# square root
\sqrt{things under root}

# not equal
\neq

# plus or minu
\pm

# hat or cap
\hat{a}

# arcsec
\arcsec # this comes from some package

# in math mode you can just use '' and this will translate to the arcsec symbol

# latex transpose
\mathbf{A}^T 

# norm
|| x ||

# elbow symbol for logical negation
\neg

# set intersection symbol
\cap

When you compile your document, the \cite command in the text will generate a citation number within square brackets, and the bibliography section will display the manually entered bibliography entries.

Note that this approach requires you to manually maintain the bibliography entries within the LaTeX document. If you have a large number of references or plan to reuse them in multiple documents, using a separate .bib file with BibTeX is generally more convenient.

# multi line comments in overleaf
ctrl + /

# insert text into equation

# use fixed width for images to render well in epub output

-interaction=nonstopmode

# Mark the differences between two pdf versions on the updated pdf using

latexdiff old_version.tex new_version.tex > diff.tex

# To not have lines broken in the diff
latexdiff -t CFONT

# Only Highlight additions in bold
