For me, not having hard wraps is the reason for not using texniccenter. Without this feature, it's impossible to use a revision control system for the tex sources. Incompatibility with subversion is a blocker for me. No modern SCM generates its changesets in a way that would be negatively impacted ...

How can i emphasize elements in display math then? I'm not quite sure why you'd ever want to. Think about exactly what you're doing --- are you sure that the math equivalent of "\emph" is what you really want? (remember that "\emph" in text mode will italicize upright text and upright italicized ...

Could the problem be that the equations are too large? I'm lost at this problem, hope someone can help. It's the presence of the two \emph macros. You can only use \emph in text mode (i.e., not display/math mode).

Note that you should also be using \det instead of det , but that won't give you an ...

Personally, I use \autoref from the hyperref package. I combine it with varioref... I do a \labelformat{equation}{\textup{(#1)}} and then use \autoref{eq:blah} which gets replaced by "Equation~(1)" (while \autoref{tab:blah} gets replaced by "Table~1"). That is definitely more straightforward than ...

I don't disagree about always capitalizing "Figure", but sometimes I'm specifically asked to use upper or lower case depending on context. Very often journals have style guidelines that fix this. These issues are rarely up to the author when publishing through someone else.

The varioref package ...

Just a comment: what about defining the \subfigheight as a fraction of \textwidth? This should ensure that if \textwidth is changed, the layout of the subfigures is not mangled. True? That's totally fine. I was just keeping things simple to make all of the mechanisms clear.

Personally, I often ...

Still, it would be very useful to have a package to compute that height automatically, but I guess it's not there yet :) Such a package would have to jam everything on the line stretched to a common height, allowing for an overfull hbox, and measure the box_width/columnwidth ratio. It would then ...

I noticed today that when I did a \citet{SK86} near the end of a typeset line, I'd get a textual citation with author at the end of the first line and citation at the beginning of the start of the second line! I THOUGHT natbib was doing the equivalent of: \citeauthor{SK86}~\citep{SK86} but it's ...

just for info, TeX Live 2008 has been officially released these days, now including a package manager allowing dynamic package updates over the internet.
It doesn't seem to be obvious from the docs on-line, but TeXLive2008 also includes "SyncTeX" functionality within the latex binary. SyncTeX ...

So what I'm after is an easy way to insert some images in a strip: ideally, I should not need to specify any size, and the software automatically choosing a correct scale for each of the images so that they all have the same height and the total width is \textwidth, also accounting a given ...
