Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Hi akshaysulakhe,

welcome to the board!

It would be good if you would provide more information. Just mentioning that you type some code is not sufficient to let us help you. You did not even mention that you use LyX, I just see it in the screenshot.

If you have got problems, please tell us the error message and which code you wrote.

Btw. I strongly recommend to use LaTeX and a LaTeX editor, such as TeXworks, instead of LyX, for writing a thesis. LyX is good for quickly getting nice results, but it's hard if you would like to produce an advanced document with own customizations.

We've got a LyX subforum, you could post your LyX questions there.
