The first step to using LaTex is to install a distribution, such as MiKTeX or TeX Live, on your computer. Then, you will need to choose an editor, such as Texmaker or TeXworks, to create and edit your LaTex documents.
While some familiarity with coding and markup languages may be helpful, it is not required to use LaTex. There are many resources available, such as tutorials and templates, that can guide you through creating documents without prior knowledge.
LaTex is primarily used for creating documents with a lot of mathematical equations and symbols, such as research papers and scientific publications. However, it can also be used for other types of documents, such as resumes and presentations.
To insert images, you will need to use the "graphicx" package and the \includegraphics command. For tables, you can use the "tabular" environment and the \begin{table} and \end{table} commands. Both images and tables can be formatted and positioned within your document using various LaTex commands.
