Writing in LaTeX needs some experience as there are a few things not obvious to newbies. In this post, I list some common mistakes that the newbies often make.

1. Use two back quotes `` and two apostrophes `''` to start and end quoting

Standard quotation marks " won’t be rendered correctly.

``Hello, World!'' % correct
"Hello, World!" % wrong

2. Use tilde `~` to avoid a line break between words

(cf.~Vaswani et al.~\cite{vaswani_attention_2017}) % correct
(cf. Vaswani et al. \cite{vaswani_attention_2017}) % wrong

3. Write `.\` if the dot is not used as a period
