Chapter Headings in LoF and LoT

You can tell LaTeX that a certain place would be a good place for a page break via \pagebreak[n] where n is a number between 1 and 4. The higher the better for breaking. Similairly, \nopagebreak[n] does quite the opposite. I think that should work for your purpose. Simply add it to the \vspace .

Chapter and Section Style

With the help of the titlesec package (which is from Spain too I think) you can do pretty cool things. The usual way of typesetting material on a colored background with a specified width is to put it in a minipage and wrap that one into a \colorbox . This is neither convenient nor nice but at least ...

beamer | Change Text Color

This example is not just far away from being `minimal', it is almost impossible to be read by human eyes and it's obscured with tons of dysfunctional code presumably added by your WYSIWYG editor.

These are just some of the problems: Several packages are loaded more than once, and the order of ...

Chapter Headings in LoF and LoT

Glad to see it worked for you and -- even better -- you were able to understand and extend the suggested solution.

I think it's fairly acceptable but if you wish, you could make it a little more portable. For example, you could make it a little package and share the code among multiple documents ...

Chapter Headings in LoF and LoT

The first thing is very simple. Just replace


\addcontentsline{lof}{chapter}{\protect\numberline{\arabic{chapter}} {Introduction}}


with


\addcontentsline{lof}{chapter}{\protect\numberline{\thechapter\quad{}Introduction}}


i.e., put everything into one \numberline . (I've also added a \quad ...

beamer | Change Text Color

Sorry, with the file attached -- which basically is the 20 minute conference ornate template from the beamer package -- I can't reproduce the effect you described. Could you please provide a minimal working example?

beamer | Change Text Color

This is not alerted text .

You may try one of those


\setbeamercolor{palette primary}{fg=green}
\setbeamercolor{palette secondary}{fg=green}
\setbeamercolor{palette tertiary}{fg=green}
\setbeamercolor{palette quaternary}{fg=green}


It works for the Dresden theme together with the crane color ...

Table with Notes, Links and Title

I think you'll get that solved after reading http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Tables .

The macro for adding a caption to a table (introduced by "Table 1:" or n , in general) is, yes, \caption . You'll probably find the booktabs and the tabularx package useful in constructing a table as in your ...

Arangement of the Table of Contents

LaTeX probably inserts a page break just between the \addcontentsline and the \bibliography. Does the page number get correct if you insert a \clearpage before the two commands?

beamer, graphicx | Problematic Image File Name

This is not too convenient but at least it should work:


\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{A Picture With a Period in the Name}
\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[width=8cm,type=png,read=.png,ext=.png]{Y_vs_X_Z0.5}
\caption{This picture has the filename ...
