\section{Introduction}

This is your introduction.

Leaving a blank line causes a new paragraph to start.

Putting things in {\bf this environment} causes them to be bold, 
whilst you can italicise them {\it like this}.

Other simple things include bullet points:

\begin{itemize}
\item First point
\item Second point
\item etc
\end{itemize}


\section{Next section heading} 

Section may include subscetions.....

\subsection{This is a subsection}

Like this....

\subsection{Another}

or this....

\subsubsection{Or even}

sub-sub-sections!



\section{Including figures and tables}

Here's how you include a postscript figure. Note that the square brackets
bit is about placement: h for here, t for top, b for bottom of page. The !
just makes that stronger, and stops latex overruling you if it thinks
better. 

\begin{figure}[!h]
\centerline{
\psfig{file=/home/pnb/fort/SPECPAP/cratsize.ps,angle=-90,width=8cm,clip=}
}
\caption{Caption for figure 1....}
\end{figure}


And an example of an equation:

\begin{equation}
w(\theta) = \frac{DD}{RR} - 1
\end{equation}

Shorter equations like $y=ax+b$ can be included in the text between dollar
signs. 


\section{How to do references}

Probably best to look at \begin{verbatim}
http://www.ph.ed.ac.uk/internal/coursework/wwwcoursework/sciprog/tex_tut.html
\end{verbatim}
for this, along with further help.

\section{Appendix: Programs}

You might want to put any programs into an appendix.

\begin{verbatim}
simply cut and paste the program into here.
