# Intro

If you're reading this, you might have received an invitation into `test-ii` space of our GitBook organization.

In that case, welcome aboard! :tada: 

Below are some of the tasks you might want to perform, to understand it better.

# Steps

While executing these steps, you might run into issues, or the outcome of a step might be unexpectedly different for you.

- **Getting access to private test repo on GitHub**
   
  [Ensure that this GitHub repository is visible to you](https://github.com/indiainvestments/test).

- **GitBook Docs**

   [Go through the docs](https://docs.gitbook.com/), and try these out creating a new page in GitBook

- **Titles and Descriptions**
 
  Every GitBook page has its own URL slug, and title. Descriptions show up as part of thumbnail.

- **Images**

  We use images in a way, that our image files go into GitHub with content.

  No imgur links. We need the images to be in GitHub along with content.

  Add image, by adding file from your file system, then save the doc, merge it. And check how the image is stored on GitHub.
  
  
- **LaTeX expressions**

   In GitBook, you can use Mathematical expressions, wrapping these into `$$`, on both ends, surrounding an expression.

   It'd look like this

    Do practice this, and try out various $LaTeX$ formatting.
