a few latex tips

unordered list sample in latex:

\begin{itemize}

\item \emph{item1: }bla...

\item \emph{item2:} bla bla...

\item \emph{item3:} bla bla bla...

\end{itemize}

defining a figure in latex:

\begin{figure}

\centering

\scalebox{0.5} {\includegraphics{myPhoto.PNG}}

\caption{My Photo Description}

\label{fig:myPhoto}

\end{figure}

note: don't forget to put this in document beginning:

\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}

.. and reference it:

.. as in Figure ~\ref{fig:myPhoto}

the point here is putting label after caption.. otherwise, you may not reference the figure correctly.. for more, see http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=3823
