understanding needspace
Hi,
I suppose I'm misunderstanding the use of needspace. The minimal
document below produces several lines of space before the second
section header, but no produces no effect before the first.
What I thought would happen is that neither section header would have
any spaces added, just that each one would be certain to have a
certain number of lines left on the page before typesetting the
header; otherwise a page would be ejected and the section would begin
on the new page.
Am I misunderstanding the package?
thanks,

[biblatex] Individual sorting options for different refsections
Is there any way to achieve individual sorting options for different
refsections? I use refsection=chapter to generate individual
bibliographies for all chapters. I would like the bibliography in one
chapter to have 'sorting=none' (which I have set in the package options),
but I need 'sorting=anyt' in another chapter. Is this possible somehow?

\xspace and inter-sentence space
Hi there,
I want to create a macro to display properly "et al." or other latin
abbreviations like "i.e." or something similar.
I created this macro:
\newcommand{\etal}{\emph{et al.}\xspace}
Now the problem is, that the \xspace will always create an
inter-sentence very big space instead of a small one:
"Cameron et al. define approaches for..."
How can I force xspace to produce only an inter-word space?
Manually I would do it like
"Cameron et al.\ define approaches for..."
But how can I do that in the macro with the nice features of xspace?
Cheers,

narrated slide shows with Latex
I would like to produce for my students slide shows with a voice over
that I can post on the course website. The content of the slides will
mostly be mathematics. For example, I would like my students to be
able to access a file that shows a calculation or a proof step by
step, and to hear my recorded explanations for each step of the
calculation or the proof. I am used to writing in Latex, and to
preparing presentations and lecture slides in Beamer. Can I accomplish
my goal using only Latex, Beamer, and, perhaps, Adobe software, or do

Eliminating space between multline and align

Hi all,
I often have a situation where I will have a very "wide" equation to

that I can fit it into an align environment. However, there is an excessive
amount of vertical space between the environments whenever I do something
like this:

[biblatex] Set option locally for \fullcite
I am using biblatex for my Ph.D. thesis. I have used the "firstinits=true"
option. However, I have a short list of publications built using
\fullcite. For these specific \fullcite's I would like "firstinits=false".
Is there any way to achieve this? I have previously asked a similar
question regarding minnames and maxnames, but I suppose the above setting
does not boil down to setting a LaTeX counter as for the latter?

Revisions & highlighting
Hi! I am using a (maybe not so) clever command to "highlight" revised

\if else function to switch between Beamer and [handout]Beamer
Hello,
Is it possible to construct an \if so I can produce a pdf slide show
or handouts with Beamer?
I have a Beamer presentation made up and would like to produce
handouts for the students. I do not want to print out the entire
presentation for them, only the relevant content. For instance, I have
a sequence of slides which sequentially build up to something, for
explanatory purposes, but would be better printed as the completed
product. Can I, using an \if argument, have LaTeX choose between
including a frame or not including a frame depending on the output
form?

Cyrillic Font recommendation needed
Dear All,
In XeLaTeX I am typesetting a complex document, using the lmroman
family as main document font. I also need to include sizable quantities
of Mongolian words using the Cyrillic alphabet. I tried DejaVuSerif
but it stands out in stark contrast against lmroman. Is there a
Cyrillic font that matches better?
Thank you for all recommendations,

Biblatex question: how to convert literal fields into integers?
According to the specs of a particular bbx file I am hacking, the
publisher should be omitted if the book was published before 1900. So
I have tried to use the following code:
\ifnumgreater{year}{1900}%
{\printlist{publisher}}%
{}%
But I have failed because, as far as I can see, year is a literal
field, not an integer. Can anyone tell me how to convert a literal
string into an integer?

memoir / biblatex (possible) conflict on page headers
Dear all,
I am encountering a problem with page headers in the bibliography
section of a memoir book when used in conjunction with BibLatex. I
want the page headers of the bibliography to have the \bibname string
(i.e "Bibliography" or "Works Cited") on both pages in italic lower
case. I made a custom pagestyle (see below) and it works fine if used
with bibtex. However, if I use biblatex (with the \printbibliography
where \bibliography would go) the page header always comes out in all
capitals.
Has anyone encountered this problem?

Text line contains an invalid character
I seem to be getting a repeating problem that is driving me nuts. I do
pdflatex of my document and sometimes it stops due to some error on my
part. So I kill the job. I correct the error and run the process
again. Now it just says:
Text line contains an invalid character l.1
I can't seem to get out of this loop. Sometimes it works when I simply
add
\begin{document}\end{document}
directly after the documentclass, (the behaviour happens both with
article and beamer) and then comment this out.
Any ideas?

A folder action script is triggered make is called and the file is
processed.
Sadly the script is only triggered when a file is added, not when it is

biblatex and authoryear
I've just installed the latest version of biblatex (which I love) and

Compilation of multiple articles, different authors
Howdy, all;
I've been tasked with putting together a compilation of a number of
different articles into book form. Each article is contributed by a
different author, and needs to be credited as such. Each article
compiles individually, and I am able to successfully bring in each
article as a section or chapter in the master document using
\include{file-name}, using only the body of the text in the
include-files.
However, as far as I can tell, the 'author' field is particular to the
master document's preamble.

Stripping off prefixing substrings from lines of TeX a'la Doc.
Hello.
I've been struggling for awhile trying to implement something
resembling this:
\tokenString{FOO}
\myEnv
FOO {\itshape Hello World.}
FOO \begin{verbatim}
In 'verbatim'.
FOO \end{verbatim}
FOO {\bf Cheerio.}
\endmyEnv
The 'FOO' substrings must be stripped, so that TeX actually typesets:
\myEnv
{\itshape Hello World.}
\begin{verbatim}
In 'verbatim'.
\end{verbatim}
{\bf Cheerio.}
\endmyEnv
This is of course very similar to what the 'Doc' package does, but in
'Doc' the 'FOO's are simply '%', and so 'Doc's algorithm in this

Four parallel translations with ledpar? (combining columns and pages)
The ledpar documentation very nicely lays out how to do facing pages
as well as left and right texts (sections 4 and 5 in [1]). My question
is, how does one combine these two features so that one can have four
parallel texts, two on the left page, and two on the right? This would
be useful in many cases, including an original-language text
accompanied by three different translations. Is this possible with
existing ledpar?
Best,
Ahmed

How to create multiple ps-files from single latex document
Dear comp.text.tex,
How do I create a pdf file for e.g. each chapter of a latex document?
It would be most convenient if I didn't need to split a ps-file after
compiling/dvipsing
I have tried to Google for the answer, but so far unsuccessful :-(
Best regards
Troels Pedersen

"The rest of the line" length?
I want to typeset lines like this:
Your answer: __________________________________________________ .
In general, there is a couple of words (e.g., "Your answer:") at the
left margin. Empty underlined space for person's answer and some
punctuation (a period in the above example) or text at the page's right
margin. Text at the left margin is of variable width and I want the
underlined space fill automatically all the available space.
Without the underlined space the idea is like this:
Your answer: \hspace{\stretch{1}} .
But I don't know how to do it with underlining. I

biblatex-apa tweak
Hello all,
When using apa as my biblatex style, @online entries have the words
'referenced from' in the bibliography. How do I get under the hood and
tweak this wording to something else?
Many thanks, K.

includegraphics puzzle
Hi, consider the following minimal example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\def\Ext{.pdf}
\def\File{foo}
\begin{document}
%\includegraphics{\File\Ext} % why does this not work?
\includegraphics{foo.pdf}
\end{document}
If I compile this file with the commented out \includegraphics line, I
get the following console message, even though I get no such error with
the second \includegraphics command.
! LaTeX Error: File `foo.pdf' not found.
What I'm trying to do is the following:

Odd behaviour with ntheorem
Hello:
I find some strange behaviour when using the ntheorem package. Below
are three displayed equations, but only the first displays correctly
(or as one would expect). However, if I comment out the use of
ntheorem, all three displays are as expected. Could someone help
with an explanation?
Thanks,
Vijay.

correcting label placement with psfrag
Hi, I use Laprint in Matlab to generate my eps figures. In the tex
file that accompanies the eps file with the Laprint output, I have
some psfrag commands. If we consider say the yaxis, I find in some
cases that the yaxis label is very close to the tickmarks labels. And
in some cases, they overlap. Here a psfrag code for a yaxis label:
\psfrag{s04}[b][b]{\color[rgb]{0,0,0}\setlength{\tabcolsep}{0pt}
\begin{tabular}{c}Force $F$, kN\end{tabular}}%
where label s04 is to be replaced by Force F, kN. I find that I can
get further separation between the yaxis label and the tickmarks label

line breaks for url within bib
I have reviewed Tex FAQs 1) URLs in BibTeX bibliographies and 2)
Typesetting URLs but still cannot figure out how to (automatically)
hyphenate/line break long url addresses within a bib entry
description. Imagine a url:
www.WhenInTheCourseOfHumanEventsItBecomes....com
that I am putting in as the publisher or howpublished (in @misc). I
do not need or even want the url to be an active link, just plain text
(using default font for whichever item it is). I have tried \

just ignores it. I realize I can kluge it t

is it possible to "escape" the hash symbol in a macro argument?
Sorry about the length of this.
For (what I assume are) TeX primitive commands, is it possible to use
the hash symbol in an argument as the literal hash symbol. In other
words, is it possible to "escape" the hash symbol?
Although my problem showed up while using pdftex in a miktex
environment, I think the problem is a general tex problem - and
probably a misunderstanding of mine.
If you read through this, thanks in advance.
I'll try to explain it first as a pdftex problem and then the general
tex analog:
1) pdftex - (with MikTeX):
When using the command \pdfximage we l

single- and double-column documents from the same source and problem with tables
Hi,
Some IEEE journals require that manuscripts be submitted in both
single- and double-column versions (since a double-column format is
*obviously* very well suited for maths </sarcasm>). They also impose
strict page limits. The IEEEtran class allows one to switch between
single- and double-column formats, but not without headaches: long
formulae and tables formatted to the column width of a double-column
document are very space-inefficient in the single-column version.
Thus, to save space and avoid exceeding page limits, they need to be
formatted differently in the two cases.

texh4t and image file extensions
Hi everybody,
I'm currently playing around with tex4ht/mk4ht to produce OpenOffice
files (this is with MacTeX). In general, this works fine, but I have a
problem with images. I played around with all kind of switches and
configuration files, but somehow I only manage to get .eps files
handled properly.
If I use \includegraphics without giving the file extension (as I
normally do with pdflatex), .eps files are converted properly, but
jpegs or pngs are not found. They are only converted if I give the file
extension. How do I tell mk4ht that it shall also look for files with a
