That is awesome. It works for me for the moment.

Originally I was using the xcolor package, which allows me to define alternating row columns at the very top of the time (using the \rowcolors command). Trying to adapt this solution to xcolor didn't work, as I couldn't figure out the correct ...

This is a very useful feature, and one I wanted very recently. In the end I solved it in the by varying the height until it looked good.

Perhaps one day this thread will be updated with a package which solves this

Ok, it appears no one has been able to answer my question, so in lieu of a solution I was wondering if anyone could suggest a hack.

I was thinking of doing this:

\newcommand{\row}{
% set a variable to the row colour << This is the bit I don't know how to do
\rowcolor[rgb]{1,0,0}
}
\newcommand ...

ah thankyou!

I tired a bunch of different things from emumitem, but not leftmargin. I assumed that would be the margin for the whole list, but changing it seems to only effect the 2nd line.

thanks

I'm having problems customising the apperance of my lists. Take for example:
\begin{description}
\item[Item 1] A big long bit of text describing item one, which goes on and on and on, hopefully on to another line

\item[Item 2] A big long bit of text describing item one, which goes on and on and ...

Hi,

I've recently switched from pdflatex to xelatex for compiling my thesis. Now when I switched my large document worked pretty much fine, and then I could start using the nice font features of xelatex.

However, one thing that keeps appearing in the log output of xelatex is:

** WARNING ...

Hi,
So I have the following code:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{colortbl}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{ccc}
\rowcolor[rgb]{1,0,0}
Hello & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Goodbye}
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

\end{document}


I was hoping that would print a row ...

How big are all the PNG files? If it is only 1MB then I don't think that would be causing a 10MB file.

But anyway, I am using Visio for my figures. However, I am either using Adobe Acrobat to save my Visio diagrams as PDFs, or using Visio 2007 which has a export to PDF feature.

Perhaps look at ...

That is a awesome tip!

It has worked like a treat.

I was able to shorten it by combining the nocite commands to this:

\nocite{brampton2007cui,brampton2008cew,macquire2008acf}
\bibliographystyle{unsrt}
\bibliography{related}

I should have mentioned I wasn't actually citing my publications, I ...

Hi,
I'm looking for a style which will order my bibliography by date. I'm writing my thesis, and at the beginning I have a list of papers I've written. I'm using \bibliography{blah} to list them, but I would prefer a way to list them in date order. If this is not possible, then is there a style ...
