Thanks.

Is there a way to "pre-run" latex so that it will count a specific counter? Or is there a way link the value of a counter to earlier in the document?

At the end of my document I could print the value of a certain counter, but what if I want this number in the beginning of the document?

Ok next question. For my list of ingredients, I'm using the hanging package so the first line won't be indented and then all the subsequent lines will be indented. So when one ingredient item is very long it will wrap indented and look nice, distinguishing between a continued single item and a new ...

Wow, great reply. I definitely am going to be asking you some questions as I dissect what you've suggested. First off, why do you use trivlist for the summary? I had:


\newcommand{\summary}[1]{
\begin{flushleft}
\textit{#1}\\
\end{flushleft}
}


Is there an advantage to using trivlist and doing ...

Ok this does it. You should be able to see that page 2 there is a title at top of page but then the rest follows on page 3.


\documentclass[letterpaper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{multicol}

\setlength{\columnsep}{30pt} % space inbetween columns in multicol ...

\documentclass[letterpaper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{multicol}

I'm having a problem with the multicol package. I'm making a cookbook and the title of each recipe starts with a flushleft environment like this:


\begin{flushleft}
\vspace{3\baselineskip}
\textbf ...

In creating my MWE, I figured it out. This is what I had for my "recipe name" command.


\newcommand{\recipe}[1]{
\begin{flushleft}
\vspace{3\baselineskip}
\textbf{\LARGE{#1}}
\end{flushleft}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{#1}
}


When I was creating the MWE, I removed the \addcontentsline and ...

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{geometry,graphicx,verbatim,multicol,xfrac,ifthen,hanging}
\geometry{letterpaper,tmargin=1in,bmargin=1in,lmargin=1in,rmargin=1in}


Hi, I'm having a weird problem with flushleft spacing in the article class. I'm making a cookbook with hundreds of recipes ...

Yes, that's what I'm looking for. Thank you.

I'm looking for a way to write fractions in LaTeX the way Microsoft Word automatically formats fractions. I've tried a couple of different methods, but haven't arrived at anything I really like yet:

\newcommand{\frak}[2]{\ensuremath{^{#1}/_{#2}}}

and

\newcommand{\frakk}[2]{\ensuremath ...
