How can one can use color for verbatim like environment as is shown? Using line by line method would be a solution, but I expect a better way to go. {\color{red}\begin{verbatim} line 1 line...
I tried using this code \newenvironment{bashcommands}{\ttfamily\color[RGB]{22,22,22}\begin{Verbatim}}{\end{Verbatim}} But ended up spitting out an error. The error however was not related to this command, but related to another command that I put earlier. I have verified that command to be correct on this site. This is the error I ge...
I make a document with twocolumn, but sometimes twocolumn is too narrow for source code listing. I found the multicols environment and used it as follows: % \documentclass[twocolumn]{article} % I don't use towcolumn, but multicolumn \documentclass[]{article} \usepackage{multicol} ... \begin{multicols*}{2} \section{In short} ... \end{...

Normally one '$' is accompanied by another '$' to express math equations, but for source listing single '$' is frequently used. \begin{Verbatim} (let ((buffer (url-retrieve-synchronously ... (re-search-forward "^$" nil 'move) <-- ...

Tufte (http://code.google.com/p/tufte-latex/), and I'm trying to find a way to modify the section color. Added color package works fine, but the thing is that the color chapter number ...
This is a screen capture from Pragmatic Bookshelf. How to make this boxed text with LaTeX? It has it's own heading with underline, and uses color. And how to make some text with gray background as follows? Added Konrad's method works, but it looks like that it doesn't work well with multicolumn package. Tonio's method shows the...
As this SO Q & A shows, I found that the \textwidth seems confusing. It's the width of text in normal case, but this variable doesn't seem to have the correct info about the width of text with multicols. This is a LaTeX code to print out the width of \textwidth (I copied the code from here). \documentclass[]{article} \usepackage{la...

So, I had a question about getting word count to work properly in emacs LaTeX mode (auctex, actually, but never mind.) That was answered fine. Then I found I had trouble when the (buffer-file-name) included spaces. This made it mess up. This problem was got around too. Now the problem is that the solution breaks when there AREN'T any spa...
In this article the author discusses the use of \@ to put correct spacings after full stops that are not at the end of a sentence e.g. Mr. i.e. etc. The macro suggested \newcommand\etc{etc\@ifnextchar.{}{.\@}} is not quite perfect since in the case (\etc more text) it produces (etc.more text). I have seen a lot of authors who have...
I am looking for a purely client side javascript library that renders latex equations as HTML/CSS. I hate that all I see are utilities that request an image from a server. Example usage: latex('\frac{a}{b}') output: <div style="position: relative; display: inline-block; height: 2em; width: 1em"> <div style="position: absolute; top...
