Re: LaTeX3 project -- Just some (irrelevant ?) thoughts

Thank you very much for your comprehensive answer. I understand the guidelines of the project and of course I have no intention to imply that things are easy, let alone clear. And of course, no intention to suggest that improvement is not essential.

It's just that from the user point of view, many ...

LaTeX3 project -- Just some (irrelevant ?) thoughts

Hi all,

I just have a question about the LaTeX3 project. So, is the intention of the developer team to build a code from scratch, with limited compatibility to LaTeX2e, or will it be a high-level macro code with full compatibility with LaTeX2e. I'm asking this because I read in the project's ...

Re: Positioning starred sections, subsections etc....

Stefan,
thank you. I've thought of that, but I'll try to see my way through the code, since I try to be as minimal as I can manage with respect to the packages I use.

Positioning starred sections, subsections etc....

Hi all,
is there a way to place the starred sections (\section*) in the center without changing the position of the normal sections?

I use the following code to change the normal sections:

\renewcommand{\section}{\@startsection {section}{1}%
{0pt}%
{-3.5ex plus -1ex minus -.2ex}%
{2ex plus.2ex ...

References Heading

Hi all,
the problem is the following. I have written a class file for my purposes and among other things, issued the \renewcommand{\refname}{....}. However, this cannot work from the class file (though, everything else works) and I have to invoke the command for every document I write.

Is there ...

gb4e number alingment

Hi all,

I have been using gb4e for more than two years now and I'm more than satisfied with the package.

Insert Figure Between Text

What I generally find very useful for placing floats right where we want them to be is an old package (1991) by David Carlisle. The package is called here.sty and it avoids tempering with
the default floating commands of LaTeX. You can find it http://www.ipipan.waw.pl/MGV/here.sty.

Best,
