Page Layout ⇒ Flashcards - Adding paper cfg file

[pthowe]

I am trying to add a paper config file.
Getting "Couldn't find" error. I read the PDF file
and am at a loss.

Also getting error "noheadfoot" when I run the sample.

Any hints from anyone

Have not found answer but need is no longer driving me crazy.

If you want help, consider following the board rules and posting a minimal working example. We are not psychic.

 \begin{flashcard}[Definition]{Norm on a Linear Space \\ Normed Space}

 A real-valued function $||x||$ defined on a linear space $X$, where
 $x \in X$, is said to be a \emph{norm on} $X$ if

 \smallskip

 \begin{description}
 \item [Positivity] $||x|| \geq 0$,
 \item [Triangle Inequality] $||x+y|| \leq ||x|| + ||y||$,
 \item [Homogeneity] $||\alpha x|| = |\alpha| \: ||x||$,
 $\alpha$ an arbitrary scalar,
 \item [Positive Definiteness] $||x|| = 0$ if and only if $x=0$,
 \end{description}

 \smallskip

 where $x$ and $y$ are arbitrary points in $X$.

 \medskip

 A linear/vector space with a norm is called a \emph{normed space}.
 \end{flashcard}


 \begin{flashcard}[Definition]{Inner Product}

 Let $X$ be a complex linear space. An \emph{inner product} on $X$ is
 a mapping that associates to each pair of vectors $x$, $y$ a scalar,
 denoted $(x,y)$, that satisfies the following properties:

 \medskip

 \begin{description}
 \item [Additivity] $(x+y,z) = (x,z) + (y,z)$,
 \item [Homogeneity] $(\alpha \: x, y) = \alpha (x,y)$,
 \item [Symmetry] $(x,y) = \overline{(y,x)}$,
 \item [Positive Definiteness] $(x,x) > 0$, when $x\neq0$.
 \end{description}
 \end{flashcard}

 \begin{flashcard}[Definition]{Linear Transformation/Operator}

 A transformation $L$ of (operator on) a linear space $X$ into a linear
 space $Y$, where $X$ and $Y$ have the same scalar field, is said to be
 a \emph{linear transformation (operator)} if

 \medskip

 \begin{enumerate}
 \item $L(\alpha x) = \alpha L(x), \forall x\in X$ and $\forall$
 scalars $\alpha$, and
 \item $L(x_1 + x_2) = L(x_1) + L(x_2)$ for all $x_1,x_2 \in X$.
 \end{enumerate}

Put cfg file in same directory with samples from template.

Hope this helps
