\looseness won't work

This command is not the right measure for preventing widows and orphans. Put some other lines into the preamble instead.
\clubpenalty10000
\widowpenalty10000

As soon as the problem is sorted out, please ac according to Section 3 of the Board Rules (last two paragraphs).


Best regards

\looseness won't work

Hello you all.

I've been trying to fix widows and orphans in LaTeX. I found a handful of ideas, from \enlargethispage to using \pagebreak and \nopagebreak between paragraphs and so forth. But the nicest idea I found is to use \looseness.

My problem is: no matter where I put, let's say, \looseness ...

Re: hyperref package and links to executables?

As long as I know, you can use hyperref to link to everything. So, I think it is possible to link to executables.

Why don't you try linking to a executable and tell us if it worked?

Trees and tikZ

I took a look at pst-tree but then I found Tikz. Anyway, the output isn't what I was expecting.

My code:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[frenchb,brazilian]{babel}
\usepackage[osf]{libertine}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{trees ...

Trees and tikZ

Hello,

Is there a way to easily reproduce this?

Thank you in advance.


EDIT: I've found Tikz package and now I'm trying to use it. Take a loot at this message (in this very topic) to see my new doubts.

Strech braces around enumerate environment

Yet another option would be to use a minipage to enclose the enumerate environment (now you only have to set the minipage's width):

\documentclass{report}

\begin{document}

$\left.\begin{minipage}{3cm}
\begin{enumerate}
\item First item
\item Second item
\end{enumerate}
\end{minipage}\right ...

Strech braces around enumerate environment

Hi,

one possible solution would be to use something along these lines:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{xcolor}

\newcounter{mycount}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{>{\stepcounter{mycount}\themycount.}ll@{\ }l@{\ }l}
& fnord ...
