---++ Setting up Latex before the tutorial

   * Download a recent version of Latex. See  [https://www.tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html] for unix/Windows and  [http://www.tug.org/mactex/] for Mac.
   * download from here a test version of a review 
   * compile it with the following commands:
      * pdflatex intro
      * bibtex intro
      * pdflatex intro
      * pdflatex intro

    * if it fails, check if you have available the following LaTeX packages required for PDG reviews in LaTeX:
      * ifthen
      * color
      * float
      * amsmath
      * graphicx
      * xspace
      * titling
      * fancyhdr
      * titlesec
      * geometry
      * import
      * lineno
      * showlabels
      * bibunit (TBC)

    * if you have these packages installed, and updated, and still it does not compile, write an email to %RED% some address %ENDCOLOR%

---+ At the tutorial

We will use a dedicated database for the review: [[https://pdgprod.lbl.gov/tutorial/PdgWorkspace/][TutorialPdgWorkspace]].<br />
Once you open this webpage, you should see  %RED% *database: tutorial* %ENDCOLOR% on the top left of the page, right under the PDGworkspace logo

---++ Check out and compile your review

   * Open PDGworkspace [[https://pdgprod.lbl.gov/tutorial/PdgWorkspace/][TutorialPdgWorkspace]].
   * Select the review that you intend to work on (click on the title of the review). You'll see the overview webpage.
   * To make sure your review is already available in Latex format, check under the *Technical Details* tab, that the format field correspond to LaTeX. If instead format field corresponds to TeXsis, your review has not been migrated to Latex yet. You need to choose a different review to work on.
   * Under the *sources file* tab, you can see the command line to check out your review. If the svn command contains %RED%LegacyRPP%ENDCOLOR%, your review has not been migrated to Latex yet. Otherwise the svn command will contain only the %RED%RPP%ENDCOLOR% string.
