Re: creating two different versions with one beamer document

I have solved the same problem by use of the \input command.

Make three tex-files, one containing the bulk of your text, say 'slideshows.tex'. Then make a file 'handoutversion.tex' containing

\documentclass[handout]{beamer}
\pgfpagesuselayout{4 on 1}[a4paper,border shrink=5mm, landscape]
\input ...

Hello LaTeX-Community!

I am a LaTeX instructor giving annual courses to university students in Trondheim, Norway (NTNU), and I am recommending latex-community.org to the students as a good place for help and discussions.

My slides are in Norwegian, and released under CC-BY-SA 3.0, available at ...

Re: Expanding memory

For reference, I add here what I did on my RHEL5 (Redhat Enterprise Linux) computer with TeX Live in order to increase memory:

$ cd ~
$ mkdir -p texmf/texmfcnf
$ cp /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf ~/texmf/texmfcnf/
$ export TEXMFCNF=~/texmf/texmfcnf/:

Now I edited my copied texmf.cnf, the ...

Re: letter class and html output

Without having tried by brute-force, I would guess the answer to your question is 'no'. latex2html and friends can never cope with all document classes and packages in LaTeX, and I am quite sure that the letter-class is an example of this.

If you really need HTML and PDF from the same source, I ...

Re: Tables explicitly placed in a new page whose mode landscape

Yes, you should use a specific package for splitting tables over multiple pages. I have never used it myself, but would have tried longtable.

Difference between using quotation mark and curly braces?

The differences are rather subtle. Check out for example http://artis.imag.fr/~Xavier.Decoret/re ... mmary.html for details.

Re: Tables explicitly placed in a new page whose mode landscape

Your initial table is probably too large to ever get placed with running text above or below it, thus it has to go to a separate page, and its first opportunity for this is at the end of each chapter. Also, the order of tables is kept, so that all other tables are pushed as well.

What you should do ...

Re: Listing env. skip line numbers

Yes, the listings package can do that using the 'firstnumber' option, documented on page of the documentation. I issued 'texdoc listings' on my computer and the documentation popped up.

include pictures with wrong scale

An alternative to editing the (wrongly set) aspect ratio within the file using GIMP, you may explicitly set the height as well in the includegraphics call,

\includegraphics[width=6cm,height=4.08cm]{d152-2k}

where I calculated 4.08cm by hand (assuming 1:1 aspect ratio for the pixels in the ...
