thank you

good morning,

I have for some time been trying to figure out how to get a specific diacritic into my Latex documents.

the one I want is this: ð
which I normally type using Alt-0240

I already use a large number of other diacritics on a regular basis, such as ö, and ä, ü, ú, Å, etc.

today I came ...

a colleague left today and as she walked out the door she handed me a thumb drive saying, "I think you'll find some of this useful."

It's a bunch of Latex stuff including a template that includes the following:


\begin{center}
\textbf{article title goes here\\ \vspace{1 em} by author name}
\end ...

thank you very much indeed. so simple, and yet so effective.

good morning,

this is my first time using package texmate (if you are not familiar with this package it is for producing chess notation and diagrams) which I just downloaded this morning so I am probably doing something pretty basic. but as you can see from the MWE, there are no package options ...

it turns out that "synchronize" doesn't do what I thought it did.

the clue was when you said, "update it." thanks for your help, appreciate it.

Good morning,

I am using MikTex 2.9 in TexWorks version 0.4.4 r.1003

I wanted to put a genealogy tree into a Latex document and googling for solutions one suggestion was a package called forest.

my package manager didn't have that so I selected: repository -> synchronize and it went to work ...

thank you. I had not heard of etoolbox before but on CTAN I noticed it is part of the standard MIkTex distribution.

your elegant solution does everything I wanted, thank you very much indeed.

Good morning,

I am writing a latex document in Texworks with a bibliography that works fine, as per the attached MWE:

\begin{filecontents}{boookfile.bib}
@book{nchc11893,
author = "Bateson, Edward",
title = "A History of Northumberland",
publisher = "{Andrew Reed, Sons \& Co.}",
year = "1893 ...
