Repeating LaTeX items (equations, descriptions, etc.)

now this is really bizarre. I just found a solution but I really don't understand it: changing equation environments to align stopped TeX complaining. Can anyone see why this is? I don't like it very much as a stable, general solution, but it will do...

Re: LaTeX and PDF

I get this occasionally (as localghost assumes, I'm using TeXnicCenter and calling Adobe Reader X). It usually goes away if I close both Adobe and TeXnicCenter and then reopen TeXnicCenter and ask it to view the output.

Bibliography Irregularity

You can try moving the \bibitems around on the .bbl file (i.e. if your main file is article.tex, then on article.bbl) if there is one.

Repeating LaTeX items (equations, descriptions, etc.)

I have an answer to your question, and a question of my own:

for equations, a more elegant solution is

\begin{equation}
2+2=5
\label{Orwell}
\end{equation}

followed later in the text (or even, possibly, earlier) by

\begin{equation}
2+2=5
\tag{\ref{Orwell}}
\end{equation}


However, this ...

How to create pdf files that allow comments

Apparently (at least, for me) the free Adobe Reader X (I'm on version 10.0.1) can comment on pdf files.

Re: accented characters?

Thorsten,

I know that this is not directly a question about BibTeX or LaTeX, but I can't find anywhere else to ask it and I think there are probably people around this forum with the answer. I apologise if I have posted in the wrong place.

Re: Citation links to bibliography at end

You will certainly have some \bibitem entries. If your bibliography is generated automatically, then the \bibitem commands will probably be in an automatically generated .bbl file with the same name (minus the extension) as your master (.tex) file.

If there are no blank lines after each \bibitem ...

accented characters?

Hi all!

I don't know if this is exactly the place for this question, but I can't think of another (so please correct me if here is wrong).

I'm writing my thesis in physics, and I'm quoting two articles by the same polish author. One is from a polish journal, where his name appears as "J. Pleba{\'n ...

Different Layout for Pages starting Parts vs. Chapters

I found this page with a related problem: changing the pagestyle in the table of contents vs normal chapters. In case someone else comes here with the same problem, I thought I'd post the solution I found in this thread , due to Stefan:

Re: Image vs header arrangement

I know it's probably the easiest way out, but I would really like to avoid going through the cropping process in external software which would need manual intervention. I have several images which have similar contents and I would like them to be displayed with formats as similar as possible, and ...
