and the second one is the leading (in German this means "Durchschuss")

Sorry for the repeated posts, just one small pedantic correction: "leading" is the amount of lead inserted between lines of type. It is roughly the distance between the descender of one line and the ascender of the following line, not the distance of two consecutive baselines (TeX's \baselineskip).

Is that how I would be able to use Times New Roman?
I know that i have put this

Code: Select all

\usepackage{mathptmx}                                     % Times New Roman
\usepackage[scaled=.90]{helvet}
\usepackage{courier}

in the preamble.
However, I am under the impression that only the first package is necessary to use Times New Roman. What do the others do?
Use Helvetica and courier, yeah. But how can I use three fonts simultaneously?

LaTeX knows three main font families: roman, sans-serif, and fixed-width. Each of the packages sets one of them. In addition, mathptmx changes the fonts for formulas. Have a look at the manual for the usage of standard PostScript fonts (psnfss2e) for further details.

Obviously I have been "Lost in Translation". I picked up the wrong word from the list since there are many translations for "Durchschuss". I should have better used the term "interlinear space".

Thank you so much for your answer, I got the paragraphs the way I need them.
However, I made a mistake: I need the footnotes in 11pt and single-spaced.
I do know both of the packages you mentioned. However, I have no clue how to connect that with /footnote .

The mathptmx package globally switches to a Times font. setspace (instead of \linespread) restores single spacing in footnotes.

And yes, I was talking about the MLA package, sorry about the mistake.

I've looked at it, it seems to be quite simple. You can just copy the parts you want and adjust them to your needs. For example, the following code contains the definition of the "Works Cited" environment:

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\bibent}{\noindent \hangindent 40pt}
\newenvironment{workscited}{\newpage \begin{center} Works Cited \end{center}}{\newpage }

(I would suggest changing \newpage to \clearpage, because the latter takes unplaced floats into account)

What would be useful perhapst is the following:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,oneside,onecolumn]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}                              % Damit die Tastatur Umlaute tippen kann
\usepackage[english]{babel}                              % Damit Latex Umlaute setzen kann
%%% This has nothing to do with babel. babel allows you to switch between different languages. So if you want English and German (new spelling), use "english, ngerman" (the last one is the default language). It is better to put the languages in the class option list to allow other packages to see them. What is more important for non-ASCII characters is a font encoding declaration: \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}                                    % Damit Bilder eingefügt werden können
%\usepackage{bibgerm}                                     % Damit das Literaturverzeichnis deutsch ist (?)v
\usepackage{mla}
\usepackage{pdfpages}                                    % Damit man PDFs einbinden kann
%\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.5}                     % Zeilenabstand
\usepackage[onehalfspacing]{setspace}
%\onehalfspacing{}
%\usepackage{txfonts}
\usepackage{mathptmx}                                     % Times New Roman

\usepackage{courier}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{a4paper,left=40mm,right=25mm, top=25mm, bottom=25mm}% Ränder
%\usepackage[small,compact]{titlesec}                       % macht section kleiner. wie kriege ich das ganz weg?
%%% What do you mean? If you don't want sections, just don't use a \section command ;-)
 \renewcommand{\footnotesize}{\fontsize{11pt}}


\begin{document}
\includepdf[page=1]{DeckblattSeminar.pdf}              % Titelseite; muss PDF sein.

\pagenumbering{arabic}                                 % Aufruf setzt Nummerierung zurück
\settowidth\parindent{\ \ \ \ \ }                      %Setzt automatisch fünf Leerzeichen Einzug für neuen Absatz
%\section{}  So kriege ich Section  ganz weg.

I added a few comments (starting with %%%).

Thanks .
I know that my comments can be a bit - strange, but Im doing that simply so that I know what the commands do.
If you look at the bottom of the code, you'll see that I already had figuerd out how not to use section
I do indeed want to use english in the document, no need for german
I remember having \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} in the preamble but I believe, I had to take it out for some reason...

Hello,
I have come across many problems again, this time concerning the bibliography (again ).
I would like to do the following:
I have one bib file which contains primary and secondary literature.
This shall be mentioned seperately as primary and secondary sources and the numbers should not reset when arriving at the second bibliography.
I use multibib.

[phi]

OK, where exactly is the problem? Your description seems to perfectly match the example given in the multibib documentation.

Hello,
my problem (did I do something wrong?) is that my Bibliographies look like this:
Biblioeins
[1] Goethe, J.W.v. kfjgjkwfpog
[2] Schiller, F. jdjfjdgjdgjdjgdg
Bibliozwei
[1] Erläuterungen zu allem idfgnfdgdf
[2] Baledgjisfhisf

Whereas it should look like this:
Biblioeins
[1] Goethe, J.W.v. kfjgjkwfpog
[2] Schiller, F. jdjfjdgjdgjdjgdg
Bibliozwei
[3] Erläuterungen zu allem idfgnfdgdf
[4] Baledgjisfhisf

[phi]

According to the multibib documentation, the numbering is continuous by default, unless explicitly requested by the resetlabels option. So there must be something in your code that resets the labels. Please post a minimal working example.

Hello,

That should work. At least that is the file I've used.
