address with "~"

You can use tilde's in url's without loading the url package, just use hyperref , and follow the guidance here:

hyperref and tilde

I use hyperref too, but not the url package.

Problem : Using \~{} or \textasciitilde{} in the text display part of \href urls produces a raised tilde, which is acceptable because the tilde is really a diacritic mark, and as such should be used in accenting characters. But this doesn't conform to ...

Tilde problem

Using \~{} or \textasciitilde{} in the text display part of \href urls produces a raised tilde, which is acceptable because the tilde is really a diacritic mark, and as such should be used in accenting characters. But this doesn't conform to normal document use of "~" in web documents and unix cmds ...

Re: Apacite - Problem - Use of @year@ doesn't match its def

Hi,
Regrding the hyperref + apacite package compatibility problems, the simplest solution is (for now) to place your

\usepackage[...]{hyperref}

BEFORE

\usepackage{apacite}

in your preamble. (Reference: http://www.latex-community.org/forum/posting.php?mode=reply&f=50&t=4202#preview)

The normal ...

Which distro should I use!

The previous replies assumed you meant a TeX distro. I'll assume you are looking for a new GNU/Linux distro just for fun! I'll also hedge that you might be looking for something like an IDE for LaTeX.

If by a "distro" you mean a Linux flavour then download the Knoppix or FedoraLive CD. Knoppix will ...

Syntax highlighting tweaking for Kile

Due to the use of KParts the Kile syntax highlighting is actually determined by the Kate editor XML file.

It is sometimes useful to know how to tweak the highlighting settings. One situation of annoying editor highlighting that arises is for example when you define a custom verbatim type of ...

customizing a code listing environment

ADDENDUM:
Recent KDE installations may have "boxedverbatim" environment syntax highlighting, so the above vi replacement will give a spurious extra "boxedverbatim|listing" piece of text. Either remove it afterward or change the search&replace command accordingly so that it is not so indiscriminate.

Default paths in Kile

The short answer is probably: just use your PATH variable.

Here's a longer digression (but i'm no expert):

Kile should be able to read your environment variables and thus locate pdftex,latex, bibtex et cetera from your $PATH variable. For other things like .bib and .sty files you may have to ...
