Command in LaTex

Stefan,

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try it. By the way the segment I posted is in the Backmatter. Is that an issue?

Citing Kindle books in BibTeX

All,

Now that ebooks are all the rage how does one cite those? I would assume under the "Book" label but what about the rest of the fields?

Thanks

P. S. I have seen folks quote Kindle version of books and give specific locations in the book by citing Loc 106 etc.

Natbib with Latex

Stefan,

Thanks. I am actually using TeXShop since I have a Mac. Not TexWorks. When I compile the main file under the BibTex I simply get an error message but it seems to work anyway.

Natbib with Latex

Stefan,

Thanks for your quick response. I am aware of the multiple compilings needed to get things to show. However, the compiling of the BibTex still confuses me. Do I compile the BibTex file itself or the main tex document itself under BibTex? Another thing I am unsure is if I have my BibTex file ...

Natbib with Latex

I am baffled by the fact that I cannot get natbib to work within a document in TexWorks (but it worked in ShareLatex). Both files are in the same folder.

Here is the Latex code: \documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\usepackage{setspace ...

Making bar diagrams

Stefan,

Thanks for the advice. I will try the pgfplots package instead. The bardiag package seems to be obsolete by the way and in fact latex recommends using pstricks instead when you try to compile using bardiag.

P. S. I have the manual you referred to.

Changing the title in "References"

Here is the command I put in right in front of the bibliographystyle{} :

\renewcommand{\refname}{Suggested Reading}

And it works!

Thanks Johannes and Stefan!
