How to output warnings

The \ClassWarningNoLines and \ClassWarning commands only work when you use the \ProcessOptions command. How do I issue warnings after that? \ProcessOptions\relax

Re: command scope

Hmm... odd. I tried that before and it kept saying that the command was already defined. Works now though.

command scope

How do I create a command that can only be used in a certain environment? Like how \item can only be used in either \enumerate and \itemize.

[SOLVED] Mathpazo --- no small caps

TeX Live

[SOLVED] Mathpazo --- no small caps

Better way to measure text width and height?

I've got some really ugly looking code and was hoping someone with a LOT more experience in LaTeX could help me clean it up. What it does is it calculates how wide the minipage width should be to contain the text. \renewcommand{\maketitle}{%
% Establish lengths
