Would anybody object to moving the "Intro to LaTex" thread in General Physics to the new tutorial section?

LaTeX is a typesetting system commonly used for creating documents with high-quality mathematical and scientific equations and symbols. It is widely used in academic and technical fields for its precise formatting and efficient handling of complex equations.
LaTeX is a powerful tool for creating professional-looking documents with complex equations. It also allows for easy collaboration and version control, and produces high-quality output for both digital and print formats. Additionally, many academic journals and conferences require submissions in LaTeX format.
LaTeX is available for free and can be downloaded from the official website. It is compatible with most operating systems and can be installed using a variety of methods, such as the TeX Live distribution or MiKTeX.
A LaTeX document is composed of a preamble, document class, and document body. The preamble contains information about the document formatting and packages to be used. The document class defines the type of document being created, such as an article or book. The document body contains the actual content of the document, including text, equations, and formatting commands.
To create a new section in a LaTeX document, use the \section{} command, followed by the title of the section within the curly braces. For example, \section{Introduction} will create a new section titled "Introduction". You can also use the \subsection{} and \subsubsection{} commands for creating subsections and subsubsections, respectively.
