By John Lees-Miller This weekend has seen the release of a major upgrade to the writeLaTeX editor, including a new user interface, an updated project pane to manage your files, and the first release of our new Rich Text mode for easier editing and collaboration.

Our new rich text mode renders headings, formatting and equations directly in the editor, to make it seem more familiar to WYSIWYG users. This isn't simply of benefit to an individual author - collaboration has now suddenly become much easier, as Jacob Scott sums up nicely in this paragraph from his recent blog post: No longer will I have to give the link to a document to my biological/clinical collaborator with the caveat 'just ignore everything that isn't text - squint a bit if you have to'.

If the file name is specified relative to the current location then forward slash syntax can be used and works on both Mac and Windows. For example \includegraphics[width = 8cm]{.. /figs/fig1.pdf} However, if files are being pulled in from many different directories it can be tedious to specify relative paths and absolute paths are preferable. The \ifwindows construct sets up \home, which is then used as the prefix to the paths of the files to be included. Side-by-side content in beamer presentations « LaTeX Matters. There are two ways (and possibly more) to place content side-by-side in a beamer presentation, the columns and the minipage environments.

The first is a beamer-specific environment and is therefore only available in a beamer presentation. Whereas the latter has other applications and is available in all document-classes. General considerations. Natbib reference sheet.

With the increasing importance of the internet for scientific research, need increases for properly citing online resources.

Unfortunately, when the main LaTeX citation machinery BibTeX was created, this was not to be foreseen; this is why there is to date no canonical way to cite, say, a website. Different workarounds have emerged, using for example some trickery with the @MISC type (see below), but the right way™ hasn't been found yet. This could change with the advent of biblatex. Its new entry type @ONLINE is supposed to contain references to web resources and doesn't give room for confusion anymore. and the LaTeX file\documentclass{article} \usepackage{biblatex}\bibliography{test.bib} \title{BibTeX Website citatations with the \textsf{biblatex}~package}\date{} \begin{document} \end{document} one gets a nicely typeset list of references.

At the beginning of the thesis typesetting I used only one typeface — default LaTeX font, computer modern roman (CMR; see also Latin Modern): \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} After several months of working with 11pt CMR both on screen and paper, I have decided to look for some alternative, because CMR text appeared to me too "light".

After few weeks of trying different fonts from that collection, I have stopped my choice on Bitstream Charter (Charter BT) as the font for the "body" text: Changing the font size in LaTeX. Changing the font size in LaTeX can be done on two levels, either affecting the whole document or parts/elements of it. Using a different font size on a global level will affect all normal-sized text as well as the size of headings, footnotes, etc. By changing the font size locally, however, a single word, a few lines of text, a large table or a heading throughout the document may be modified. Research tips - Synchronizing WinEdt and pdf files. Synchronizing WinEdt and pdf files Being able to go from a line in WinEdt to the cor­re­spond­ing place in a com­piled doc­u­ment is extremely use­ful and saves a lot of time.

This has long been pos­si­ble using Yap with dvi doc­u­ments, but Yap is slow and ugly and the dvi files usu­ally have to be con­verted to pdf before send­ing them to any­one else. So I tend to use pdf­tex­ify to cre­ate pdf files directly, but I miss hav­ing syn­chro­niza­tion between what I write and the pdf file that is created. Xetex - I am new to TeX.
