I'm currently doing something like: a\hfill{}b which puts 'a' at the far left, and 'b' at the far right of the page. However, I'd like 'b' to be exactly half way. Is there a \hfill equivalent where I can say \hfill{0.5\textwidth}? I don't know the width of 'a'. Obviously, I could use tabular, or maybe minipage, but the rest of the co...
Recently I found an old LaTeX document I've written in 1994. It starts with a line \documentstyle[makeidx,twoside,german,bibgerm,a4wide,mydefs, equations,fleqn,psfig]{script} Now I tried to compile this document using an actual version of MiKTeX on my windows machine, but pdflatex complains about an undefined contol seq...

I want a table of contents, but I don't want each line to be a clickable hyperlink. How do I do this? Details: I am using the \anothertoc command from the shorttoc package to "import" the TOC from another document. Works fine, except that all the links for the imported TOC are broken (obviously)... so, I want to de-linkify them. Not...
I have the following LaTeX code: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \begin{description} \item[foo] bar \item[baz] bang \end{description} \end{document} and it produces the following PDF: I want the definition of the item (in this case the "bar" and the "bang") to be on a separate line from the item (eg the "foo" and the ...
I've been using \begin{figure} ... \end{figure} throughout my LaTeX document, but the default styling is ugly; namely, the figures are all left-aligned. Is there a way to redefine the "figure" environment so it automatically inserts some centering commands such as like this?: \begin{figure} \begin{center} \end{center} \end{figure} Sure...
I am attempting to use overlays with figures to save myself from creating a different image for each slide. The overlay works with any text I include, but not with the figures. For example: \setbeamercovered{dynamic} \begin{figure}\resizebox{10.0cm}{!}{ \includegraphics{problem-a.pdf} Test A \pause \includegraphics{problem-b.pd...
I am trying to add an equation in a new line. The problem is that the equation is too long for the line, and I need to break it manually. Otherwise, it just overlaps to the right column, or to the right margins (and looks ugly...). Is there a way LaTeX can brake the equation for me, so it seems nice? I'm attaching my latex code: \begin...

Hi, I want to fully-justify latex code on EMACS so that my latex code will look better. For example, I remember my advisor sending me latex in fully justified way like this: In ~\cite{Hummel2004}, authors described an approach for harvesting software components from the Web. The basic idea is to use the Web as the underlying repos...
Hi, an earlier question led me to XeLaTex (it was about LaTeX and Unicode). So I've got now this document: \documentclass[a4paper]{article} \usepackage[cm-default]{fontspec} \usepackage{xunicode} \usepackage{xltxtra} \setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Arial} \begin{document} গ a ä ͷ \end{document} With the font "Arial" only the a and th...
I'm trying to draw a horizontal line across my diagram. The Y coordinate of the line should be halfway between points a and b (a is below b). The left and right endpoints of the line are on the bounding box of the tikzpicture. Here's how I'm doing this now, using the intersection operator: \coordinate (h0) at ($(a.north)!0.5!(b.south)$)...
