Hi Kishmet,

try:

\section*{foo}
\stepcounter{section}

the latter command should increase the section counter.

Best,

Hi,

is there any way I can force all the floats to be placed only in between paragraphs, not on top/bottom of page? I know I can play around with [h], [h!] and [H] but aren't there any easier way to get the effect for all the figures at once?

Thanks in advance,
Ott

BTW -- please do not blame me ...

I have used an openoffice macro which converts the selection to latex. There is a similar one for excel also. It does a pretty good job with fonts, lines, colors etc.

Yess! Thank you!

The problem was that I haven't control over the way the bibliograpy is formatted by bibtex.

Occasionally I have use bibtex in Estonian locale. An annoying feature there is that tilde '~' is active, e.g. by typing '~s' you get Å¡ (scaron). It really annoys me when it happens with bibligraphies, because several bib styles use '~' as the space.

Is it easy to make tilde to a normal character ...

Kopka & Daly "A guide to latex" was really useful for me.

Latex companion is mostly about extra packates (it is a companion to the "latex book" after all).

Wow! This works for me too!

thanks, dmonkey!

How does your document look like? How does your bib-file look like? Which program exactly gives error messages -- latex or bibtex? Bibtex errors are usually easy to track down.

How can I get rid of the page number on the title page? Consider the example:

\documentclass{article}

\pagestyle{empty}
\title{Blah\pagestyle{empty}}

\begin{document}

\pagestyle{empty}
\maketitle
\pagestyle{empty}
Blah-blah
\pagestyle{empty}

\end{document}


The page number just sits there ...

Well, redefining the title label after /appendix
Aren't there any cleaner solutions?
