\addtocontents and \contentsline issue

Stefan,

I have 98 errors, so here are the first few. The log file is 70kb, pretty big to attach I'd imagine.

\addtocontents and \contentsline issue

I'm trying to add the word "APPENDICES" between my Bibliography and Appendices, but without a page number.

When I try to use this:

Code: Select all

\addtocontents{toc}{\contentsline{chapter}{APPENDICES}{}}
I get a lot of errors. What am I doing wrong here?

Skip Pagination for just one Page

I am inserting a cover sheet and want to skip pagination for just that page. How would I do that?

Re: singlespace in {quote}, doublespace elsewhere

Stefan

Would this macro affect the inter-paragraph spacing between the quote and the previous or following paragraph?

I am seeing inconsistent spacing when using it with puthesis.cls (https://engineering.purdue.edu/~mark/pu ... thesis.cls).

starting 2" from top edge of paper for single page

The cls I am to use for formatting sets the top margin at 1 inch. But for just one page, I need to the first word of the page to start 2 inches from the top edge of the paper.

What's the best way to do this?

multirow | Several Alignment Problems

I am having some alignment issues with using multirow.


How do I get the "Age" columns to center vertically and have the numbers in brackets go to the next line? They don't seem to want to wrap.

Is there a macro I can use to center the "Numbers" column?

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage ...

singlespace in {quote}, doublespace elsewhere

Preamble: I'm formatting a humanities dissertation so this may seem weird.

I have a lot of quotes from interviews and I want to have them single spaced (intra-paragraph) and doublespaced inter-paragraph. I was able to do this rather well using in my appendix using:

\setlength{\parskip}{11pt ...

indents for first line in {quotation}

Frits

Right now, I have:


\begin{quotation} \noindent
Doctor: How are you feeling?

Patient: I have a headache.

Nurse: Here are his charts.
\end{quotation}


In this case, I see that the Doctor line is not indented, but both the Patient and the Nurse lines are indented.
