The document’s overall class is defined with this command, which is normally the first command in a LaTeX source file.
\documentclass[options]{class}
The following document class names are built into LaTeX. (Many other document classes are available as separate packages; see Overview.)
article
For a journal article, a presentation, and miscellaneous general use.
book
Full-length books, including chapters and possibly including front matter, such as a preface, and back matter, such as an appendix (see Front/back matter).
letter
Mail, optionally including mailing labels (see Letters).
report
For documents of length between an article
and a book
, such as technical reports or theses, which may contain several chapters.
slides
For slide presentations—rarely used nowadays. The beamer
package is perhaps the most prevalent (https://ctan.org/pkg/beamer). See beamer template, for a small template for a beamer document.
