I am currently working as an RA and I was asked to make a course textbook from a collection of lecture notes. The format requested is LaTeX, and I have some, but limited, familiarity with it. I was wondering if anyone has some advice that could make my life easier, is there a template I can use for text book creation? Is there an easier front end interface to use where you don't have to code ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, you want a ready-made LaTex book class template. You can find them on the internet,but my suggestion is, first, ask the prof. who gave you the assignment for one. If he/she doesn'thave one, go knocking on doors in your dept. until you find somebody who will give youone. If that doesn't work, ask the dept. secretary for the template for PhD dissertations,and modify to fit.p.s. This assignment only makes sense of the notes are already .tex files -- if not, the assignment is absurd.

Do a google search for lshort.pdfand read that document.

hello friends. do you know a website you provide a screenshot of an equation to and it returns back the corresponding latex?
i came across mathpix lately (thanks to @Exsan) that seems quite good, but i don't really wish to install anything on my machine.
thank you.

I wonder if this works

thank you Alan.
i created an account (free) on their website to try out.
My use cases are now not the most advanced tests for scrriblemyscience as this is NO handwriting, and it is relatively simple mathematical notation. Still, I'm satisfied with the result.
For example, on the pic, top is screenshot from some random website and the bottom is the latex from scribblemyscience rendered into a notebook. (i just made a few changes to separate maths notation from English words, that wasn't managed by scribblemyscience)
