number formatting

Hi,

Thank you guys. I tried the numprint packages. An example:

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{report}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{numprint}
\begin{document}
\numprint[m^2]{48524378} (\numprint{4.8e-7}, or \numprint[mln]{48.5}) and \numprint[\%]{36.19}.
\selectlanguage{english ...

number formatting

Hi all,

I have been googling this but couldn't find anything.

Is there a way to make LaTeX take care of formatting numbers? For example, if I write 165010621 in my tex file I'd like to see 165,010,621 in my PDF. It's not really a big deal, I can add the commas manually, but I am really curious ...

placing captons of subfloats at their right side

Am using it now. Check out http://www.ctex.org/documents/packages/float/sidecap.pdf for more details on the sidecap package. I have an image with a small caption, so I use
\usepackage[raggedright]{sidecap}
There is also options for placing the captions on alternate sides when on inner or outer ...

placing captons of subfloats at their right side

Are you aware of this book?

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX

It has a section on figures and floats and says this on side captions:


Side captions

It is sometimes desirable to have a caption appear on the side of a float, rather than above or below. The sidecap package can be used to place ...

Kile project tree and labels

Hi all,

So I have a Kile project with many files. Each time I start up Kile, the files are displayed in the tree (panel on the left, 'Files and projects' tab) in alphabetical order, instead of as a tree representing the project. Whenever I open a file, it gets included in a tree the way that it ...

Again: appendix headers

Wooooow this is a long time ago. Sorry! The answer provided by frabjous solved the problem. Here a mwe that shows exactly how I had things in mind: both in the TOC and at the appendix page itself the chapter is shown as 'Appendix X'.

Thank you!

I can't seem to edit my first post, no edit ...

Metapost MetaUML: use italics

Hi all,

I am not sure whether this is the right place to post (you already corrected me Thorsten, sorry about my last post :P).

How to link to Table of Contents and first page in PDF?

Hi,

I'm reopening this topic because CeoN asks the same question I'd like to ask:

how do I get the PDF viewer to display the front page and the TOC in the bookmarks panel?

My mwe will display this (adobe reader 9 on Linux):

etc.

LoF and LoT on one page

This was many, many days ago. Am facing the same problem this week and have used this solution from the post you suggested:

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\clearpage
\begingroup
\let\cleardoublepage\relax % book
\let\clearpage\relax % report
\listoftables
\listoffigures
\endgroup
