I have a LaTeX document with an image in it. There is a section, four subsections, the latter 3 having just some text, and the first having a description environment with some stuff.

I just created a LaTeX document and compile it to a PDF using pdftex. Every time I make a reference using the \ref command, the reference is put on a new line. Why does this happen and how do I prevent this? ...
I have an FAQ in HTML (example) in which the questions refer to each other a lot. That means whenever we insert/delete/rearrange the questions, the numbering changes. LaTeX solves this very elegantly with \label and \ref -- you give items simple tags and LaTeX worries about converting to numbers in the final document. How do people de...

I'm stuck in a software documentation culture I can't change, and software documentation is expected to have deeply nested sections that look like this: 2.1.5.3.2.1 Some section This paragraph has some text. 2.1.5.3.2.2 Some other section This paragraph has more text. 2.1.5.3.3 Higher-level section Blah, blah, blah. Anyway, I'd li...
A font I am using does not have the slanted/oblique variant to it in LaTeX (NB: not italics), and I would like to have slanted text in places. Is there an easy way to slant text without having to generate entirely new font files and such? One suggested solution was to do: \renewcommand{\textsl}[1]{\tikz[baseline=(X.base)] \node[xslant...

Hello everyone, I have a block of text in a quotation. Some of that text will be in very small font (\scriptsize) and some much bigger (\Large). My problem is that the letters in the big font push right up against the letters in the line above. This effect is unacceptably distracting to the reader. (Trust me; for my use, it is.) My...

I'm using the hyperref package in my document. One of the things that it does is create bookmarks in my pdf, based on the table of contents. Some section titles contain a reference to a citation \section{Some title \citep{BibTeXkey}} The label of the bookmark then looks like Some title BibTeXkey But I would like it to be Some tit...
I use the \todo command from the \todonotes package. I'd like to layout my source to put \todos separately from the previous paragraph: Some text. \todo{make note} But I don't want \todo to start a new paragraph, or it screws up the spacing of the document. Is there a command to avoid this? If there were a command/package to consum...

Hi, what do you see as best way of presenting class names in LaTeX documents (writing about a piece of software). I'm currently using \texttt (monospaced typewrite font) which otherwise works fine but my class names end up goind "over" the margins. So, I'm asking for either an alternative (good-looking) way of representing the class...
