| LATEX Minimal Document | 
To get started create a text document called hello.tex containing just:
| 
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[british]{babel}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage[parfill]{parskip}
\title{My Report}
\author{Kayon Toga\\Togaware Pty Ltd}
\date{\today}
\begin{document}
Hello world.
\end{document}
 | 
We utilise here the common []babel, []geometry, and []parskip packages.
Turn this into a pdf document and view it with:
| $ pdflatex hello.tex $ evince hello.pdf | 
Now start filling the document with text.
