Aware that old versions of longtable had trouble starting tables halfway down a page I have downloaded the latest longtable.sty, and it's in the same directory as my document; but there is still page break (and an approximately 75% blank page) before my table, which is particularly frustrating since the table runs to just over three page...
When using the beamer documentclass, it looks like the third level of nested input is ignored: \documentclass{beamer} \input{body} body.tex: \begin{document} \input{file1} \input{file2} \end{document} file2.tex: \input{file21} The content of file21.tex is ignored with documentclass beamer, but correctly inserted if I use a documentc...
I have two very short and consecutive sections (for a CV), each containing a small table: \section{Work Experience} \begin{tabular}{r|p{11cm}} Current & Your job at Your Company, Town \\ Jan 2009 & What your company does \\ & A description of what you do\\ \multicolumn{2}{c}{}\ \end{tabular} \section{Education} \begin{tabular}{r|p{1...

For some time now I've been wondering whether I could create a custom template for the Latex Beamer class for my own presentations and how hard it would be. The problem is I can't seem to find any introductory material on how to get started. Does someone have some introductory material on the topic? ...
I'm cleaning up some old LaTeX documents describing an API. In the process I'm creating my own little style for describing the API, but I've bumped up against a bit that seems to force me into a violation of DRY. To follow the style of the old document each function should be described in the following format: <function signature> <ta...
I've been writing a slide presentation using Beamer, and have written 35 slides (or frames) using \begin{frame} some stuff \end{frame}. The problem is, that on compilation, only the first 32 frames are produced. The typesetter does not report any errors or warnings. Ideas for what is going wrong? ...
According to the IEEE citation style reference, in case we cite urls the access time of the url should be indicated as well. Does anybody know how to indicate this when using BibTeX? Thanks, Zoltan ...
I have been working with tetex on Zenwalk and now that I compile my report with texlive, the behavior is a bit different. I would like my bibliography to fit in one page like before and I just need to change the space before the title of the bibliographie chapter. Do you know how I can manage that? Thanks ...
Hello, I am starting off with Postscript, and would like to do something very simple: include a LaTeX symbol within my Postscript document. For example: %! /FontSize 12 def newpath 0 0 moveto ("Hello \LaTeX") show % This is where I would like % the rendering of \LaTeX % with actual LaTeX fo...
Hi I have a simple alignment question for Latex tables. At the moment it looks as follows: \begin{center} \begin{tabular}{| c | l | l | } \hline \tt {a} & $a = b + c + d + e + f + g + $ \\ & $ e + f + g + h + i + j$ \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{center} The problem is, that the output looks as follows: a = b ...
I want to use the minted package to give me syntax highlighting but it has a spacing of more than a centimeter. Setting: \setlength{\parskip}{0pt} \setlength{\parsep}{0pt} \setlength{\headsep}{0pt} \setlength{\topskip}{0pt} \setlength{\topmargin}{0pt} \setlength{\topsep}{0pt} \setlength{\partopsep}{0pt} does not help at all. Is there...
Hi, I'd like to create a newenvironment that could contain two lists, each with an arbitrary number of items. Some fixed text \begin{itemize} \item item 1 \item item 2 \item item 3 \item item 4 % Maybe more items \end{itemize} Some more fixed text \begin{itemize} \item item 5 \item item 6 % Could have more items here \end{itemize} Some...
I would like to remove the slide count (e.g., SLIDE_NUMBER / TOTAL_SLIDES) from the footer (footline) of a Beamer presentation, without removing the footer entirely. I am using the Boadilla theme, which uses the infolines outer theme. In the beamerouterthemeinfolines.sty file, we find the following definition for the footline: \defbeame...
Hi, I am working on my thesis and I am struggling with placing 2 images next to each other, so that the second image would be centered vertically along the first one. I was also trying to use subfigure instead of subfloat but neither of them works. This is how it looks and my code is: \begin{figure}[H] \centering \subfloat[H][spars...
I'm using MultiMarkdown to generate a LaTeX file of an academic paper I'm working on. I'm using biblatex for the bibliography, which allows for commands like autocite and autocites: This is a true statement.\autocite{source:2007} When autocites is used, each braced entry is considered a citation source, which works great when there ar...
How can I put a question mark above a less-than-or-equal-to symbol(\leq) in LaTeX? ...
When typesetting a document with \documentclass{book}, the margins on odd and even pages are different, just like in a book. This means the contents on a page is not centered, which is all fine, except sometimes on the titlepage. My question is: how can I get the titlepage centered when typesetting a document using the book class? Here...
LaTeX is a wonderful language for writing documents. With the hyperref package and pdflatex, you easily generate documents with metadata, a nice feature to get your documents referenced right on the web. I often use templates like: \documentclass[11pt]{article} \usepackage[pdftex, pdfusetitle,colorlinks=false,pdfborder={0 0 0}]{hyperre...
In latex, you can type \verb|{| and get a real brace in a typewriter font. But if you type {\tt \{ }, you get a sans-serif replacement. In code: \verb|{| % nice, real brace. {\tt \{ } % hideous fake brace. LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `OMS/lmtt/m/n' undefined (Font) using `OMS/cmsy/m/n' instead (Font) f...
