I want to know if there is some way to change that full stop after Definition. to a colon, i.e. to get Definition: (and for the other environments in the "definition" theoremstyle). ...
I'm a newbie to both R and LaTeX and have just recently found how to plot a standard time series graph using R and save it as a png image. What I'm worried about is that saving it as an image and then embedding it into LaTeX is going to scale it and make it look ugly. Is there a way to make R's plot() function output a vector graphic an...
I've heard that title capitalization in bibliography is the bibliography style's role (the bst file). Is there a bibliography style file that capitalizes book titles but not paper titles? For example, a paper title should be like Hello world and hello kitty a book title should be like Hello World and Hello Kitty bib style p...

But I like to color all notes by height, so that my kids can more easily learn to recognize the notes as the c, d, e, f, ... are associated with its own color. The above allows me to do this, but is rather verbose. I...

Like having a light colored background on a page, having a big header (like the EXTRACTION) shown in this link. Do you think it is possible to something like this in Latex?

In this sample code, the author does the following \draw ($(closedStart.south) + (-.5em,0)$) edge[stateEdge] node[edgeLabel, xshift=-3em]{\emph{Passive open}} ($(listen.north) + (-.5em,0)$); What irritates me most about these markup based drawing tools is that I've to measure a value and specify. In this case, the author...
This is probably best explained with an example. I have the following table, where the "A" cell spans two rows, and the "B" cell spans two columns. \begin{table}[htdp] \begin{tabular}{l|r|r} \multirow{2}{*}{A} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{B} \\ & B1 & B2 \\ a & b1 & b2 \\ a & b1 & b2 \\ \end{tabular} \end{table} _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ |A ...

I'm looking for a library (or a cleverer solution) in C or C++ that would make an image file (PNG|jpeg) from LaTeX code. The use of packages is a prerequisite. For now I'm thinking of compiling a .tex file into a .dvi and using dvipng to get a .PNG. There's also the possibility of compiling a .tex file into a .ps file and then convert...
I have a small graphic that is part of my document. It's PDF, is 193 lines, and has some binary data mixed with its postscript. I'm currently using the graphicx package and including the pdf as a separate file. Is there a way I can inline it directly in my latex source? ...
In my dissertation, I have a glossary that explains some abbreviations I use. I put this in a table to make it look nicer. However, LaTeX does not break lines at the end of the page. I know that I could force a line break at any point in the table, but it is a long table (much work!) and manual line breaks make the text look jagged and ...
I'm using miktex 2.8 on windows. For some reason, the \marginpar command has stopped working. It used to work as expected, but not the lines will not wrap. I have set marginparwidth to 1in and still the lines will not wrap, they just go right off the page (or right into the text for margin pars on the odd pages). If I change marginparwid...
