Here are some options: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... small-caps

That method seems to require some inconvenient precomputation for at least two things: the vertical alignment of the labels and their horizontal alignment. Which means one can't easily remove or add labels that have wacky vertical dimensions, like f_1^2, for example. I hadn't seen that syntax before ...

I'm glad the solution works for you. I should add that you might want to put a green checkmark on your OP, as described in http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=5838, section 3, before localghost comes around. ;)


Just for my personal knoledgde, does someone here know how to ...

I'm learning to use TikZ too. I managed to come up with a solution with rather ugly parts in the code, but I hope the output will do. It isn't very similar to your original code, sorry. Perhaps the most unsatisfactory part is the manual alignment of the column headers. Also, if you make the font ...

Consider a horizontal axis with labels at certain points:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}


\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw (0,0) -- (5,0);
\node [below] at (1,0) {$a$};
\node [below] at (2,0) {$b$};
\node [below] at (3,0) {$g$};
\end{tikzpicture}

The latest object of my frustration. Consider the following code (I hope it's minimal enough):


\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{enumitem}
\setlist{nolistsep}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{multicol}

\begin{document}

\begin{multicols}{2}
\lipsum[2]
%% A %% \section*{hahaha}
\lipsum[4]
%% B ...

If I understand the problem correctly, the business with the large spaces (which are not blank lines, if I'm not mistaken) and the fix with \raggedbottom is this: on every page, TeX automatically tries make the text line up flush to the bottom margin at the bottom of the main textblock, so that the ...

I don't have much time right now, but I think you should be able to do what you want with a savebox. See http://lglinux.blogspot.com/2008/01/mea ... vebox.html. Good luck.

You probably want to make your own command. Something quick and dirty to get you started:

\documentclass{article}

\newenvironment{qanda}{\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}}{\bigskip}
\newcommand{\Q}{\bigskip\bfseries Q: }
\newcommand{\A}{\par\textbf{A:} \normalfont}

\begin{document}

The following Q\&A ...

This happens to me from time to time. Whenever it's happened to me, one of the following worked:

1) Make sure the paths to MiKTeX and your pdf viewer are correct.
2) Do something silly like restarting your computer.

I know this advice looks dumb right now, but just try it.
