# Free online introduction to LaTeX (part 2)

[Part 1](/latex/more-topics/13-free-online-introduction-to-latex-part-1.md) | Part 2 | [Part 3](/latex/more-topics/15-free-online-introduction-to-latex-part-3.md)

## Part 2: Structured Documents & More

Welcome to part two of our free online course to help you learn LaTeX. This part builds on [part one](/latex/more-topics/13-free-online-introduction-to-latex-part-1.md), so if you have never used LaTeX before, you may want to start by working through the [LaTeX fundamentals in part one](/latex/more-topics/13-free-online-introduction-to-latex-part-1.md).

In this part, we'll show you how to include figures, tables and bibliographies in your documents. The slides include interactive exercises for you to complete on Overleaf, so you don't have to worry about installing LaTeX on your computer. In particular, this part of the course covers:

* Structured Documents
* Sections, Labels and Cross-References
* Figures and Tables in LaTeX
* Automatic Bibliographies with BibTeX
* Useful LaTeX Packages and Online Resources

You can [download a PDF](https://www.overleaf.com/latex/learn/free-online-introduction-to-latex-part-2.pdf) or browse the slides below:

These slides have also been [translated into French](http://jdleesmiller.github.io/latex-course/fr/part2.pdf) (thanks to Yannis Haralambous) and [several other languages](https://github.com/jdleesmiller/latex-course#translations).

## Move on to Part 3

In [part three](/latex/more-topics/15-free-online-introduction-to-latex-part-3.md), we'll see how to apply the same skills to make professional presentations with beamer and advanced drawings with TikZ. Let's get started!

Looking for slides for your LaTeX course? These slides are [open source](https://github.com/jdleesmiller/latex-course) and permissively licensed (MIT), so you're free to remix them for use in your own courses. Enjoy! :)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://overleaf-pro.ayaka.space/latex/more-topics/14-free-online-introduction-to-latex-part-2.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
