The idea is to give a pragmatic overview of working with Latex and version control. The "presentation about Latex & Version control (in Dutch)":\[latex_svn_presentatie.pdf\] can be downloaded. The presentation itself is created using Latex and "the source of the presentation":\[latex_svn_presentatie.zip\] is also available. A good description of Latex can be found [here](http://swik.net/LaTeX): > LaTeX (pronounced "latech") is a document preparation system for high-quality typesetting based on, and succeeding TeX formatting. It is a very popular format in academia, as it allows advanced document formatting capabilities not found in other common document formatting systems. Some of these capabilities include table figure notations, bibliography formatting (see BibTeX), and an advanced macro language.
