Re: error when using colortbl, longtable and input

Thanks Stefan, I'm glad you can understand it because it's a bit beyond me!

From now on I'll enclose each of my longtables in the makeatletter commands and use @@ input. I guess this might be safer than having the commands at the start and end of the doc, as from my reading it seems they can ...

error when using colortbl, longtable and input

Hi,

I get a misplaced noalign error when I try to input a longtable
which has a \rowcolor command.

The code seems to work when pasted in, instead of input,
but I need to use input as the table is automatically generated.

Any help or workaround would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
Aidan ...

Re: Text at the Left, Floats on the Right

Hi Clemens,

thanks for your reply. The paracol package looks like a good option - it looks like \switchcolumn would allow me to keep text aligned between columns. I'm going to try using margin notes first, as it's easier to find examples of customised margin notes (font size etc), but if I get ...

Text at the Left, Floats on the Right

I would like to have a two column document, where the text appears on the left and the referenced tables and charts appear in the right column, which gets filled out with white space. I know I can use the multicol environment and

\vfill
\columnbreak
To start a new column before the floats, but ...

Re: option to avoid running bibtex in pdflatex

Hi Joseph,

that makes two of us :)

I'm running

texi2dvi("filename.tex", pdf = TRUE, texi2dvi = "pdflatex")

in the statistical package R.

I thought that this was just calling pdflatex on the file, but it's possible that it it also calls bibtex separately. I'll check if pdflatex from the ...

option to avoid running bibtex in pdflatex

Dear all,

I was wondering if anyone knows of an option that can be passed to pdflatex to avoid running bibtex. I am calling pdflatex from another program (GNU R), and the call fails with the error “I found no \bibdata command-“. The document in question is small and has no biblio. I know ...
