Boxed Theorem Head

Two possibilities. The first one, using \ovalbox from fancybox :

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{fancybox}

\makeatletter
\newtheoremstyle{caja}
{\topsep}
{\topsep}
{\itshape}
{}
{\bfseries}
{}
{.5em}

Definitions in LaTeX

proof and \qed are already defined (when loading the amsthm package). To avoid conflicts between your definitions and the ones from amsthm, you need to use \renewenvironment (for proof) and \renewcommand (for \qed), or choose different names (Mproof and \Mqed, for example).

Two columns, both left justified

Hi,

as you suspected, a table is the solution:

\documentclass{article}

\newlength\mylena
\newlength\mylenb
\setlength\mylena{\linewidth}
\settowidth\mylenb{\textbf{Term Address}}
\addtolength\mylena{-2\mylenb}

\begin{document}

Changing the table of contents indent of appendices

Here's one possible solution, assuming that you are not using and will not use \paragraph . Copy the code between the %%%%%%%%%%%%%%% lines in the preamble of your document:

\documentclass{article}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\newcounter{mysection}
\renewcommand\themysection ...

Caption for an itemized List

Hi,

with the help of the caption package you can easily define a new type of caption (and a new List associated with it, also). A little example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{caption}

\DeclareCaptionType{exam}[Example][List of Examples]

\begin{document}

\listofexams
\begin{enumerate ...

Headers when non-numbered chapter

Hi,

you can use \markboth right after \chapter* :

\documentclass[twoside,openany]{report}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead{}
\fancyhead[LE]{\raggedright\itshape\nouppercase{Name of the Book}}
\fancyhead[RO]{\raggedleft\itshape\nouppercase{\leftmark}}

vertical space using multirow

Hi,

to add space above each row, you can use the \extrarowheight length:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array,multirow}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}
\setlength\extrarowheight{4pt}
\hline
\textbf{Material} &\textbf{Significant pairs} &\textbf{p-value}\\[1ex]
\hline

Reference numbering with a list of Figures

Use the optional argument of the \caption command to avoid references from appearing in the LoF or in the LoT:

Code: Select all

\caption[Here's the caption without citation]{Here's the caption with a cite to~\cite{key}}

How are underscore and inequality signs inserted in LaTeX?

I can't seem to just type in a solitary ">" without a complaint from my LaTeX text editor. And "\>" doesn't work either.

If you load the fontenc package with T1 option as I suggested in my previous reply, you can simply type > and < without problems. Another option is to use \textgreater and ...
