Colored Text in Table Row

Thanks Stefan for the nice solution!

Tabu seems a very nice package.

Unfortunately I was not able to get rowfont to work with the siunit S column.
If I find a solution I will post it here.

Marco


EDIT:
I found a workaround.
You can use the tabu X column with the S column embedded as explained ...

Colored Text in Table Row

Hi all,

Consider the following example of table created with the siunitx package (in a beamer presentation, but that should not be important):

\documentclass[hyperref={pdfpagelabels=false}]{beamer}

\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\usepackage{color}

\begin{document}
\begin{frame ...

Format Specifiers in Gnuplot Terminal 'epslatex'

Hi all,

I have used the epslatex terminal for my plot for some times now, since in my opinion can produce very high quality pictures. It can be tricky to use, for example because of the problem pointed out by shadgrind.

I am looking forward to use tikz for my plot instead, but for the time being I ...

beamer, lmodern and \dot

Hi all.

I am writing a presentation with beamer where a lot of dotted y appears. $\dot{y}$

However while using the Latin Modern package, the dots are awfully placed.
See MWE:

\documentclass[hyperref={pdfpagelabels=false}]{beamer}

\usepackage[english]{babel}

\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[T1 ...

Question regarding integrals and differential d's

In my humble opinion, it is worth to define something like

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\idiff}{\int \! \diff}
You have already argued that in this way you can not put limits to the integral. However, where there are limits you do not want the space changed, as in

Code: Select all

\[ \int_V \diff^3 r f(r) \]

Question regarding integrals and differential d's

Regarding the space between the differentials and the function, it needs probably to be put at hand: how does LaTeX knows that the function is indeed the integral argument?

Regarding the space between the integral sign and the differential... I did not find any difference between \diff and \mathrm ...

Question regarding integrals and differential d's

Hi,
try to have a look at C. Beccari. TUGBoat 18 (1997) No. 1 .

In this article, the author also addresses how to typeset differential d's. He came up with a quite complicated, definition (that, btw, I do not understand).
I report it here for convenience (hoping there will be no typos ...

A look at 8+ free LaTeX editors

Thanks for the tip about the gedit-latex-plugin. Can't believe I missed that. Looks like I didn't do my homework as well as I thought!

To be honest I had to check if the citation completion works (I usually do not use the basic commands \cite and \ref). Moreover sometimes it is automatic and ...

Re: A look at 8+ free LaTeX editors

Nice article! A very interesting reading.

I will try Gummi, I am curious to try its live preview feature while coding Tikz pictures.

By the way, the gedit latex plugin allow you to complete citation (write \cite{ and call the code completion with Ctrl + Space). There is space for improvement ...
