In summary, a Tex document class is a set of rules and formatting options that determine the layout and appearance of a document created using the Tex typesetting system. It is chosen based on the type of document being created and can be customized or a custom class can be created. Some common Tex document classes include article, book, report, letter, and beamer, and the formatting options can be changed using commands and packages within the document. It is also possible to create a custom document class for frequently used formatting options.

I have two documents: a letter and an article and I want them to be in the same .pdf doc, only, they're two different document classes. Is there a way to combine them under one document, or something like that?

Yes, it is possible to combine two different document classes into one PDF document. One way to do this is by using the "combine" package in LaTeX. This package allows you to merge multiple documents into one, regardless of their document class. You can specify the order in which the documents should appear in the final PDF and also include a table of contents. Another option is to use the "pdfpages" package, which allows you to insert pages from one PDF document into another. This can be useful if you want to keep the original formatting and layout of each document. However, keep in mind that combining document classes may cause compatibility issues and it is recommended to test the final PDF thoroughly before submitting or sharing it.

Some common Tex document classes include article, book, report, letter, and beamer (for presentations). Each class has its own set of default formatting options, but these can be customized to suit your specific needs.

How do I change the formatting options in a Tex document class?

To change the formatting options in a Tex document class, you can use various commands and packages within your Tex document. For example, to change the font size, you can use the command \documentclass[12pt]{article} to specify a font size of 12 points.

Can I create my own custom Tex document class?

Yes, you can create your own custom Tex document class by defining your own formatting options and saving them as a .cls file. This can be useful if you frequently use the same formatting for your documents, as it allows you to easily apply it to new documents without having to manually change the formatting each time.
