Weird ToC formatting error.

Hello Forum,
Hope you are all having a great Christmas vacation!

I use XeLaTeX and Octavo for typesetting my report.

I decided to use the titletoc package for styling my ToC. For my short timeframe., I ended up looking for a readymade example to use from either this, or some other TeX-y forums ...

Re: Joined Floats of different Types

Did you try reducing the size of the figure until it does manage to fit into the same page as the table?

I hope your \begin{figure} has the h/H parameter?
\begin{figure}[h!] or \begin{figure}[H]

I also suggest you use \begin{small} around the tables.

Once you get them in place, use permutations ...

References in ToC

This is one of those odd bugs. Only the unlucky get it from time to time..... So sad to hear that you were one of them.

From my notes, here are two possible solutions:

1) Add the command \cleardoublepage just before the \addcontentsline.

2) The slightly involved solution consists of renewing ...

glossaries | Modifying an existing Style

Are you using the gloss package?

Some examples:

@GLOSSDEF{gnu,
word="{\~n}u",
definition="Simp\'atico animal, mascota de los programadores",
sort-word="Nzzu"
}

@GLOSSDEF{pi,

Convert Excel Table to LaTeX

Well done on getting the table into LaTeX.

Use the lscape package to rotate the table alone. You might be able to get it into the page.

Hope it helps.
Good Luck.

Multi-page Bytefield Structure

Without providing a sample, we have to go with our own understanding of your problem. Here goes:

Have you check listings package?

Its main advantage is multipage spanning and you can customise the display to show in the font type you want. So you can even use monospaced font of your choice ...

Re: Hyphenation in verbatim environment

I second the idea to use the listings package. I have used it myself and used it to span multiple pages with appropriate formatting. You can even go so far and define your own language's syntax or modify existing ones to match the same.

Perhaps, you ought to give it a try.

Another suggestion ...

And use the commands \mathlarger and \mathsmaller for adjusting sizes...

You can repeat it to progressively increase the size
Example:

\[
\mathlarger{\frac{1}{x}}
\]

if you want it bigger add another one in the beginning, e.g.,

\[
\mathlarger ...
