Hi Minero, perhaps provide a code example, so we could test that. Stefan...

Re: Problem with page numbering
16/05/2012 23:43, Stefan_K
The reason is that you wrote \addcontentsline before the \chapter* command, which makes the page break. Write it afterwards, or break the page before you make the table of contents entry, for example: \cleardoublepage \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Conclusion} \chapter*{Conclusion} Stefan...

Re: Extra horizontal space after caption title
16/05/2012 23:40, Stefan_K
Hi GerlofVito, welcome to the board! It is caused by a caption definition of the ctable package, which prints the caption, a space and a "continued" option text. The space is printed in any case. You can remove it for example by patching a command using etoolbox, in your preamble: \usepackage{etoolbox} \ma...

Problem with hline in xtab package
16/05/2012 21:08, Toty
Hi, I'm having a problem with a large table. I need to extend it over several pages and also make it on landscape mode. On the 1st page the table is usually fine, but starting on the 2nd page, the \hline command generates a line that doesn't cover all columns. Does anyone has a fix for this ? Also, if you have some...

Extra horizontal space after caption title
16/05/2012 20:32, GerlofVito
I'm getting an extra horizontal space after the caption title for my tables, e.g.: Table 1. Title of the table . Instead of: Table 1. Title of the table. I'm using the memoir class for the document and the ctable package for the table. I use XeLaTeX to typeset. (Running on Mac OSX in case that matters.) I'm attac...

Correct font to use in Xfig
16/05/2012 19:31, xbc
Hello! I am currently working on a set of figures for a book (though I am no where cool enough to say it's for my own book! lol). I was told that the figures need to be in the .eps file format, but found out recently you cannot embed LaTeX code for any text used in the figure (i.e. number/axis labeling). The source...

Re: Height of the lines in equation systems
16/05/2012 19:31, alainremillard
Two things to help you First, you can expand any part of an equation using \displaystyle. For a fraction, they provided the dfrac{}{} command that always put the fraction in displaystyle, instead of scriptsize. Second, to simplify your code, there is an cases environment that does exactly what you want. It as to be...

"Quoting" text from an earlier part of the document
16/05/2012 18:47, tjcarter
Hi everyone, I'm working on a paper where I defer most of my proofs to the appendix, so I have a lot of unproved lemmata floating around in the main text. When I get to the appendix, I'd like to be able to reproduce each of these lemmata before providing their proofs. If possible I'd prefer not to have to copy + paste...

Natbib / Bibtopics trying to change the bibliographystyle
16/05/2012 16:31, thomasmorel
Hey, I'm not very good at LaTeX, and writing my thesis is a bit problematic. I use Kile, and try to make a personnalised bibliography with bibtex, using both "bibtopics" (kind of bibunit) and "natbib". The thing is, I get in my bibliography always the "first name" and then the "last...
