Re: Adding a photo to a CV

I'm having a little bit of success using the \ThisURCornerWallPaper command in the wallpaper.sty package.

The problem now is that this command sticks the picture in the upper right corner, flush against the edges.

Does anyone know how to offset it from the right and top edges?

changing top margin on first page only

I'm using the geometry package to set the margins. I know I can use the option top= to set the top margin, but I would like a different top margin for the first page than the rest of the pages.

What would be easiest way to do this?

Adding a photo to a CV

I've been trying some experiments with wrapfig, but can't get any good results. Integrating that with the way the CV template is set up is beyond my Latex skill set. I've tried integrating it into the header, but without any good results.

Also, there seems to be something strange with wrapfig (or I ...

Adding a photo to a CV

I've written my CV using a latex template I found on the net that I rather like. So far so good. I just found out that for one application I need to add a photo to the CV, which I am having trouble figuring out how to do. I am used to adding normal floats to papers and documents, but not something ...

Slanted division symbol

How do I make a large forward slash in a math environment for use when showing for example one fraction divided by fraction? A normal forward slash is too small and disappears between the fractions. I assume there is some symbol for making a larger forward slash that would scale up to the size of ...

Re: breaking out of an enumerate for one sentence

Thanks you two.

Is the enumitem package standard enough that I can assume most people have it (for example, those that only have some default latex installation)?

breaking out of an enumerate for one sentence

I want to add a sentence in the middle of an enumerate that isn't part of the enumeration. I would like to do this without the need to add any new packages (or at least any non standard ones, since I am trying to make a very easily portable template for others to use).

The idea would be a result ...

including text from a "source" file

Hmm, it's not working. I will include the two simple files I am using to test. One is called problems.tex, the "master file"
problem.tex

\begin{block}{vg1}
\question testing one
\end{block}


\begin{block}{vg2}
\question testing two
\end{block}
