General Principles

1. Spaces and line breaks are not important. A blank line startsa new paragraph, however.

2. Commands all start with backslash:\documentclass

3. Braces are used for “arguments"\documentclass{article}

4. Brackets are used for“optional arguments":\documentclass[11pt]{article}

5. Commands are case sensitive.\documentclass not \DocumentClass
