\documentclass[12pt,reqno]{book} % Sets 12pt font, equation numbers on right
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts} % Typical maths resource packages
\usepackage{graphics} % Packages to allow inclusion of graphics
\usepackage{color} % For creating coloured text and background
\usepackage[colorlinks,citecolor=blue,linkcolor=blue]{hyperref} % For creating hyperlinks in cross references. It should be after the color package. The option colorlinks produces colored entries without boxes. The option citecolor=blue changes the default green citations to blue.

\begin{document} \maketitle \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Contents} \pagenumbering{roman} \tableofcontents \listoffigures \listoftables \chapter*{Preface}\normalsize \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Preface} \pagestyle{plain} The book root file {\tt bookex.tex} gives a basic example of how to use \LaTeX \ for preparation of a book. Note that all \LaTeX \ commands begin with a backslash.
Each Chapter, Appendix and the Index is made as a {\tt *.tex} file and is called in by the {\tt include} command---thus {\tt ch1.tex} is the name here of the file containing Chapter~1. The inclusion of any particular file can be suppressed by prefixing the line by a percent sign.
Do not put an {\tt end{document}} command at the end of chapter files; just one such command is needed at the end of the book.
Note the tag used to make an index entry. You may need to consult eg Lamport's book~\cite{lamport} % Gives link to reference
for details of the procedure to make the index input file; \LaTeX \ will create a pre-index by listing all the tagged items in the file {\tt bookex.idx} then you edit this into a {\tt theindex} environment, as {\tt index.tex}.
In the source file {\tt bookex.tex} the line:\\ {\tt usepackage[colorlinks,citecolor=blue,linkcolor=blue]{hyperref} } \\ includes hyperlinks and chooses colours for them.\\ Also, the following lines just before {\tt begin\{document\}} will put a watermark on every page: \begin{verbatim} usepackage{draftwatermark} %%% These four lines
SetWatermarkText{Draft not for circulation}%%% put a watermark on all
SetWatermarkScale{3} %%% pages. Omit them if
SetWatermarkColor[rgb]{0.9,0,0} %%% it is not needed.
\end{verbatim} Just comment them out with \% if you do not want a watermark.
\pagestyle{headings} \pagenumbering{arabic}
\include{ch1} \include{ch2}
\begin{thebibliography}{99} \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography} \bibitem{lamport} L. Lamport. {\bf \LaTeX \ A Document Preparation System} Addison-Wesley, California 1986. \end{thebibliography}
\include{index} \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Index} \end{document}
