---++ Create / Compilation

Latex don't use any kind of WYSIWYG behavior. You just edit the pure code. After that you have to compile the whole thing to have the final document. For that you need some additional programs (which are mostly installed on many UNIX/Linux systems). The following command sequence (UNIX/Linux) should give you the result your looking for. Be careful where the file extensions are necessary and where they are not allowed!
| 1. 	latex diss_main.tex | first compilation |
| 2. 	bibtex diss_main | create the reference index |
| 3. 	makeindex diss_main | create the index |
| 4. 	latex diss_main.tex | second compilation (insert the references) |
| 5. 	latex diss_main.tex | third compilation (page numbering) |
| 6. 	dvips -odiss_main.ps diss_main.dvi | convert from dvi to postscript |
| 7. 	gv diss_main.ps | look at the new postscript |
| 8. 	dvipdf diss_main.dvi diss_main.pdf | convert it to .pdf |

The file names refer to the examples which is available under documents.

---+++ Remark

   * For printing with a postscript printer use the file =diss_main.ps=,
     for a online version (or for email) use =diss_main.pdf= instead.
   * Creating a .pdf: the command pdflatex has some troubles with postscript pictures, 
     ps2pdf has some troubles with special characters (like German ä), 
     dvipdf seems to work well.
