References with text in LaTeX
In LaTeX you can easily reference a section by using \label{} next to a section and then \ref{} to create the reference. However, the reference only includes the number of the section, or the page with \pageref{}. I would like to insert a reference containing the text of the section. Example: \section{My Section} \label{section:my} Th...

LaTeX: How should I add an author subtitle under a chapter title?
Had trouble knowing what exactly to Google, so I'll ask here. I'm typesetting a series of annotations to papers. Each chapter will be on a paper, so I'd like to put the paper authors right under the chapter names (the paper titles). I can think of a hacky way of doing this, but I figured I'd ask the fine folks over at SO first for som...

Putting citation text on same slide with LaTeX Beamer
By default, using \cite in the Beamer class of LaTeX places the actual citation information at the end of the presentation on a separate slide containing the bibliography.

XeTeX (via TexShop) font rendering partially broken on Snow Leopard
Certain elements (such as grqq{} quotes or decimals from the dcolumn package) are missing when rendering with TexShop and XeTeX on Mac OS X 10.6.1 (Snow Leopard). Switching to the dvipdfmx engine did not help, it only misses other characters. My TexShop version is 2.26 (latest atm. I believe). The problem persists for the couple of font...

How can I build PDF LaTeX documents with ANT (or some other build system if you prefer)?
The team I work for manages a large collection of technical documentation which is written in LaTeX.

Sometimes people forget to compile their documents so we have a situation where the PDF and .tex files are often ou...
How to make an equation span the whole page / line in LaTeX?
I have this equation and it's quite big (basically a FDM one) but it aligns with the text and then continues out on the right side to the nothingness. I've tried stuff like \begin{center} and \hspace*{-2.5cm} but to no avail. I want it to use the whole line not just from the left-margin and out to the right. How do I do it and do I need...
