Parsing latex-like language in Java
I'm trying to write a parser in Java for a simple language similar to Latex, i.e. it contains lots of unstructured text with a couple of \commands[with]{some}{parameters} in between. Escape sequences like \\ also have to be taken into account. I've tried to generate a parser for that with JavaCC, but it looks as if compiler-compilers li...

Hello. Complete LaTeX and LyX newbie here. I am currently writing a document in LyX and I'm using hyperref to have links in the ToC, citations etc. The problem is that I added a figure (with float) and when I make a cross-reference in the text, the reference itself becomes a link that leads to the page that contains the actual figure.

Variable evaluation in LateX
I have the following piece of latex code: \def\a{1} \def\b{2} \def\c{\a+\b} \def\d{\c/2} I expected \d to have the value 1.5. But it did not. However, adding parenthesis to the definition of \c like \def\c{\a+\b} Doesn't work either, because if I use \c somewhere, it complains about the parenthesis. Is there a way to evaluate \c ...

How do I force footnotes to the very bottom of the page when the page is not full?

This means that the footnotes won't necessarily be placed at the end of the text box (of height \textheight) but on a half-full page will be quite a long way from the "foot" of the page. Is it possible to make the footnotes go all the way to the botto...
