Hello all,

I'm looking to do something a little tricky using the pdfpages package. I have two pdfs and I'm trying to combine them alternately (e.g, make a new pdf using p1-doc1, p1-doc2, p2-doc1,p2-doc2, p3-doc1,p3-doc2,etc.). Is there a trick for this, or perhaps a different package?

Thanks,

Hi,

I'd like to use the vaucanson-g package to draw some automatons but I'm not an expert in using ps/dvi. I found an older post in the forum that suggested (auto)pst-pdf would do the job and I think it will but when I run my compiler (TeXShop) I'm informed there is an option clash related to some ...

\title{abc}
\author{def ...

Thank you so much for the quick answer - I haven't had time to get back here much with the end of the semester.

The tocloft package works great! But could you explain a little more how to work with \markboth & \markright? My first attempts made the formatting pretty wild.]

Hi,

I have two questions:

1 - The easier one) If I want to have an unnumbered section (\section*{...}) how can I get it to show up in \rightmark? I know how to add it to the Table of Contents (\addcontentsline) and that adds it to the PDF structure as well but I don't really know how to work with ...

The optional argument in brackets for you [section] sets the counter to reset itself when you switch sections. If you are fine with theorems,lemmas, etc numbered continuously throughout the document just leave the brackets empty; similarly, to get the 1.1.1 sort of numbering use the optional ...

Hi,

I'm a young professor working on my first set of lecture notes for a class I'm teaching. For the formatting, I want to have two sorts of sections for the book: one for example problems and one for example solutions. To differentiate the two, I'd like to be able to put one into sans-serif fonts ...
