You could use \settowidth to get the natural width of everything that's left of the tabularx environment. The tricky thing is the width of the opening brace, because the higher the brace becomes, the wider it will be. For compensation you now can use an optional argument, e.g., \begin{DotCases}[x\\x...

You can split your project in as many files as you want, but I wouldn't make anything depending on that. Here's an idea using a TOC-like approach: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{blindtext} \newlength\activitywidth % the width for activity within the list of activities (LOA) \newlength\categorys...

I doubt entry RN125 is the same as entry [125] in the bibliography, not even their years match. To figure out what's going on you could try something like \documentclass{article} \bibliographystyle{unsrt} \begin{document} \nocite{*} \bibliography{name-of-your-bib-file} \end{document} After processin...

According to tikzlings (see page 3), all you need to do is turn

Hi Dan, I tried \coordinate[at end] (A) (0,0) arc(0:90:2); well, \coordinate is basically a node without a size of its own, hence the arc will be put into nothing, so to speak. For getting points along the arc (or whatever curve you have), you can use options like `at start', `near end', etc, or its...

An alternate way may be to use array 's m column. Just don't mix m with p columns within the same tabular environment, that may have the opposite effect: if, say, you specify m for the shorter text (that ended up at the top) but p for the longer text, the shorter text gets vertically centered to the...

Turn \aliaspagestyle{chapter}{standard} to \aliaspagestyle{chapter}{plain} % We want all initial chapter pages on the right page not the left \cleartoverso That would clear to the next even numbered page, which in a twosided layout is on the left---unless you're typesetting something that's read fro...

I can do that simply with \global\let\r=\r without any iterative definition problems? Yes. Unlike \def (or \[re]newcommand), \let creates a copy of what's on the right side of the (optional) equal sign. Come to think of it, you might as well use \xdef\r{\r} which expands {\r} before it gets globall...

Hello and Welcome aboard :) Your \[ (just after the equal sign) tries to start a new (displayed) math environment, but you're already in math mode. The last closing brace has no partner, either. BTW: you're defining \Rho, but you're using \rho. Since (La)TeX is case-sensitive, the definition of \Rho...

Hi Dan, that's because the loop's, hmm, body is executed in a TeX group, so when \s is incremented, \ang and \r revert to their contents they had before the inner \foreach started (r=8, ang=0). \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{pgfmath} \usetikzlibrary{intersections} \begin{docum...
