Make section headings always appear furthest from the spine

This is what I finalized on:

\titleformat{name=\section,page=even}[runin]
{\normalfont\Large\bfseries}{\makebox[0pt][l]{\thesection}}{0pt}{\hfill}[\hspace*{\fill}\\]
\titleformat{name=\section,page=odd}[runin]
{\normalfont\Large\bfseries}{}{0pt}{\hfill}[{\hspace*{\fill}\makebox[0pt][r ...

Re: \href to refer to a local pdf file

One highly dirty trick would be to create a link for acroread that calls Preview.app or something.

But the real way is to figure out how to set the viewer to call the right application.

Pull title from bibliography?

I want to be able to do something like:

In \citetitle{book1} he says ``Stuff''\cite{book1}

or something, and have "\citetitle" format the reference to the title of the object correctly. Right now I'm using \emph{The Name of the Book} or similar, but I have to update it if the reference was ...

titlesec creates "Unsynchronized" warning

That must be what it was; I had

Code: Select all

pdflatex $*
pdflatex $*
makeindex -s ../songs.ist $*.idx
pdflatex $*
I moved the second call to after the third, which seems to work.

I'm not sure why I was calling it twice before makeindex.

Make section headings always appear furthest from the spine

I finally figured out how to use the titlesec package, and this gets closer to what I want:

\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{name=\section,page=even}[runin]
{\normalfont\Large\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{\hfill}[\hspace*{\fill}\\ ]
\titleformat{name=\section,page=odd}[runin]
{\normalfont\Large ...

Make section headings always appear furthest from the spine

I've gotten closer (I found how to center the section headings) but I can't get the Section number to move to the left/right depending on even/odd page.

Here's what I have (titlesec didn't work because it somehow broke my \songsection command}:

%!TEX TS-program = Lilypond-LaTeX
\documentclass ...

Re: Make section headings always appear furthest from the spine

I tried using titlesec which seems that it should be able to do what I want, but I couldn't figure it out.

What I'm looking for is:

SectionNumberLeft {Section Title, Centered}

on left pages, and:

{Section Title, Centered} SectionNumberRight

on even pages.

Re: Insert output of a shell command into LaTeX file at compile?

Thanks! The first one worked great. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Bazaar supports anything like the "properties."
