\def\tmptmptmptmp{\lpxx} \def\lpxx{\lpx} \def\lpx{\tmptmptmptmp} The code above does this: (1) define a macro \tmptmptmptmp that expands to \lpxx ; (2) define another one, \lpxx , that expands to \lpx ; (3) define \lpx to expand to \tmptmptmptmp , which of course expands to \lpxx , which expands to...

It was supposed to indent the second one (you said that was what you wanted).

If this is for a "list of symbols," you might check out the nomencl package, which uses the makeindex program to update the nomenclature in a well-defined way that links back to the text.

If you want it the way you say it, try this one: \chapter*{Abkürzungsverzeichnis} \begin{description} \item[HSLU]} Hochschule Luzern \begin{description} \item[USZ] Universit\"atsspital Z\"urich \end{description} \end{description} If you actually want it as in the first example, except flus...

This seems to happen for any command ending in "cite"; includes \cite , \nocite \footcite , \mycite , \overcite , and it happens for any word in the sentence. You can get around this problem by putting all your \cite commands on a line by themselves, with the previous line ending with [cmd...

The following works for me:

Please be more specific.

Is there any reason you don't want to use the standard commands that produce accents? For example, \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article} \usepackage{txfonts} % or any font you wish \begin{document} Za\.z\'o\l \'c g\c e\'sl\c a ja\'z\'n. \end{document} Those use 100% ASCII text, pretty much guarantee...

How about this? \documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{standalone} %\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} %\usepackage[spanish]{babel} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{shadings} \pagestyle{empty} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \path [shading=ball, ball color=red] (0,1.498) circle (2.3cm); \begin{scope} \clip...

How about using alpha.bst? If that's not the right format, try running "latex makebst" and following the instructions---that will let you sort in a number of ways.
