My group uses Literate Programming for most of our source code---this means that internal documentation is written using LaTeX. We have been using PStricks for fancy technical diagrams of the system, but have recently been recommended to use TikZ. I've gathered this information: TikZ/PGF is new and maintained; PStricks went a long ti...
I have a product of two matrices that I would like to appear next to each other on the same line. Even though I have shrunk them down to allow room, LaTeX automatically sends the second matrix to the next line so that they don't appear as a product. What's the word on the street? Thanks. ...
I am using ItextSharp to generate PDF. Part of our output, we have a lot of math related content. Maybe we can use some kind of Latex library to feed the result to ItextSharp to produce PDF. I have been googling for a while now but found nothing. Do you know if there is a latex library for .NET exists? Also, do you know if ItextSharp ...
I'm looking for a package to typeset SQL statements in LaTeX. So far I have heard of listings and lgrind, are there any other suggestions?

Still reading documentation, so it is poss...

What is the best way for me to render math equations on the web? I am familiar with LaTeX's math mode. ...
I've been using LaTeX for about 3-4 years now. In that time I've picked up what I've needed as I've needed it, most often by Googling. However, I'd like to learn some more advanced features of LaTeX such as editing or even creating my own class files and bibtex styles. I've worked with some fairly powerful class files before, but I have ...

Hi I am creating a report in LaTeX which invole a few tables. I'm stuck on that as my cell data in the table is exceeding the width of the page. Can I some how wrap the text so that it falls in to the next line in the same cell of the table? Is it some how related to the table's width but as its over shooting the page's width it won't...
I have only little knowledge about LaTeX, basic formatting, basic math fomulae etc.. I found that LaTeX is hard to configure to my own flavor. Recently, I've heard about Docbook, which is also a typesetting mechanism, but much easier since it uses XML. So, if my main job using LaTeX/Docbook is writing a simple document (not a class bo...

I'm currently finishing off my dissertation, and would like to be able to include some documents within my LaTeX document. The files I'd like to include are weekly reports done in LaTeX to my supervisor. Obviously all documents are page numbered seperately. I would like them to be included in the final document. I could concatenate all...

I'm trying to add a caption to a table in latex, however it throws this error "! LaTeX Error: \caption outside float." From the error I am guessing ti means that it is outside the table, but I have clearly put it inside. \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \caption{Table1} Potentiometer & Resistance & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Calculated V\textsub...
I don't know much about latex itself. All I need is list of available commands. All standard commands and that come from "usepackage" declarations. I'm currently focused on MiKTeX, so if MiKTeX do provide, it is of course great, otherwise I do get the idea of parsing some .sty or .def files. But I don't understand the syntax behind thos...

Is there a way, in a LaTeX style/class file, to detect which output device is being used (or at least which capabilities it has)? The reason is, I'm writing a class file in which I want to use some Postscript-specific packages (e.g. pstricks) if Postscript is available, but if I just write \RequirePackage{pstricks} then of course bad...
