Nota Bene/Top Tip

Post by dickturnip »

Hi there.

I am producing a user manual.

I would like to include 'Top Tip', 'NB' or 'Warning' passages from time to time (similar to the ones used in O'Reilly books)

I would, of course, like to include a logo or a symbol. I wondered what preferred methods were here and if any of the community would be able to share examples.

Many thanks in advance,

Dicky

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

I'm not familiar with O'Reilly books. Could you be a little more descriptive in what you want?

In the end I did this:

Code: Select all

\begin{center}
\framebox[4in]{
\begin{minipage}[t]{3.5in}
{\Large{\bomb}} Take care with this option.
 There is a bug in the rich-text editor 
that can remove blank lines from content body. Check your work.
\end{minipage}
}
\end{center}
to use the bomb I needed

Code: Select all

\usepackage{fourier}
in my preamble.

Now that the problem is solved, please be so kind and mark the topic (and not the last post) accordingly as clearly written in the Board Rules. You are not new to the forum so you should know that. Please keep that in mind for the future so that further reminders will not be necessary.
