Hi Stefan_K, all,

Thanks for a very nice example! I too am having a problem with figure* at bottom of page, and I managed to rework your example into a MWE that demonstrates this problem:


\documentclass[a4paper,10pt,twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx,dblfloatfix}
\usepackage[english ...

Ok, a temporary workaround for me is to conditionally load minitoc, only if appendix is not defined beforehand:

\usepackage{appendix}

% conditional load: check if appendix is loaded by checking if \appendixtocon is defined; if so, do not load minitoc
\ifdefined\appendixtocon
\else
\usepackage ...

Hi all,

Consider the following MWE:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{url}
\usepackage[breaklinks]{hyperref}
\usepackage{appendix}
\usepackage{minitoc}
\usepackage{appendix}



\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\bigskip

\section{My Section 1}

Blahblah...

\subsection{My SubSection 1 ...

Ok, "textgreek" seems to be the answer - as this compiles:


\documentclass{minimal}

\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenx} %
\usepackage[LGR, T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{textcomp} % defines \textmu, which is now what inputenx seems to use for μ - probably due inpmath.. also \textdegree ...

Hi all,

Please consider this MWE:

\documentclass{minimal}

\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenx} %
\usepackage[LGR, T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{textcomp} % defines \textmu, which is now what inputenx seems to use for μ - probably due inpmath.. also \textdegree... but not \textrho ...

Hi frabjous and localghost,

Just wanted to say thanks for the prompt and quick response! I have tried \usepackage[demo]{epsfig} with the original style file too, works perfect!

Thanks again,
Cheers!

Hi all,

I had to write an article in a class derived (apparently) from SIG-ALTERNATE.CLS/ACM_PROC_ARTICLE-SP.CLS. Then, I wanted to build a version without images, so I wanted to use the [demo] option of {graphicx} package. Interestingly, as soon as I tried that, Latex 'crashed' with 'option clash ...

Hi all,

Well, finally here is a syntax that does compile:

\usetikzlibrary{shapes.arrows,chains,positioning}

\begin{tikzpicture}[font=\tt]
% NOTE: matrix generates '! Missing } inserted.' for:
% * ANY line-ends inside - make sure to comment empty lines!
% * if it is completely empty (i.e ...

Just a brief update - I looked into the pdftex users manual http://sarovar.org/docman/view.php/106/66/pdftex-s.pdf ; and found:

Literals and specials
\pdfliteral [ pdfliteral spec ] general text
Like \special in normal TEX, this command inserts raw pdf code into the output.


... and generating ...

Hi all,

Here is a MWE:


% test.tex
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\includegraphics[width=0.5\linewidth]{../img/mytest.png}
\end{document}


where the .png is, say, a screenshot showing text...

When I compile this with `pdflatex test.tex`, and ...
