I'm using the colortbl package to color table cells. I've combined this w/ the xcolor package to define my own colors. However, it appears that xcolor does not support transparency.

How can I box content in LaTeX such that all boxes are on the same line and the same height?
I need to represent calculator key presses by the text for the keys to press surrounded by a box. I tried to get away with just the bare key presses (no box) but I got marked down for it because it would appear my assessor is a bit of a pedant. Anyway, a bit of research turned up the likes of \boxit and \fbox. I gave them both a go but...

How do I use TeX/LaTeX formatting for custom data tips in MATLAB?
I'm trying to annotate a polar plot with data tips labelled with 'R:...,Theta:...' where theta is actually the Greek symbol, rather than the word spelled out.

References style without line breaks.
I'm writing a grant application and space is at a premium. I want LaTeX to print my references section without line breaks, so References [1] [2] [3] becomes References [1], [2], [3] I don't think the exact references style is too important (this is NSF), but I can't seem to find any bibliography style that will do this. ...

Hi, I have a LaTeX document that contains some text, followed by 4 tables, followed by some further text. I want the 4 tables to appear between the two pieces of text, which from what I've read, means I should use the [h] option after beginning the table environment (e.g. \begin{table}[h]). Using this, the first two tables appear afte...
How do I correctly insert an image/figure and have the text "flow around" the image/figure in latex?
