Re: Grouping colored Floats for Offset-printing (Imposition)

Well I suppose it if was possible, someone would have suggested something by now. Myth busted, I guess.

Grouping colored Floats for Offset-printing (Imposition)

Hi,

I will soon be printing a thesis containing a substantial number of colour figures. The printer company uses offset printing, and prints sixteen B5 pages on one large sheet of paper, after which it is folded into a section and then cut.

One sheet of paper contains sixteen pages, eight on the ...

Non-breaking Space in DOI Field of Bibliography Item

I found that inserting a \makebox in this function works:

Code: Select all

FUNCTION {format.doi}
{ doi "doi" bibinfo.check
  duplicate$ empty$ 'skip$
    {
      "\makebox{\doi{" swap$ * "}}" *
    }
  if$
}
I'm sure this is frowned upon by purists.

Re: Non-breaking Space in DOI Field of Bibliography Item

Ok I tried both options separately, then together. I still get line breaks between doi: and the number.
At least I have a place to start testing now, so that already helps.

Re: Non-breaking Space in DOI Field of Bibliography Item

I can try that, give me a sec.

Would I be wrong in assuming that if there is a non-breaking space between doi: and the doi-number in question, that if the line in total is too long, it will just shift that whole section (doi:number) to a new line?

If the number is forced onto the same line, even ...

Non-breaking Space in DOI Field of Bibliography Item

Hi,

I'm using a bibliography style that displays the DOI field of a reference, and hyperref turns it into a nice links. This all works fine. There is a space between doi: and the actual DOI-link, this is also fine. However, a line break occurs sometimes at the position of that space, which is not ...

-- en-dash problem

Thanks! The first line solved it.

I also tried the second line, but if I add that (right after xltxtra), then I get this error.

work around

Never mind, I've switched to chapterbib, and that works now. Still, it was a strange problem.

-- en-dash problem

Hi,

I'm using XeLaTeX to write a thesis using the Arno Pro font. I've noticed that -- isn't automatically translated to an en-dash when I use that font. However when I type \textendash, I *do* get an en-dash. Why is this happening? And can I fix it?

Kind regards,

Vic

natbib, custom bibliographystyle, sort order problem

Hello,

I'm using XeLaTeX to write a thesis using the style memoir. I'm having a problem with the ordering of my bibliography references. I use the natbib package with number style references and the sort option \usepackage[numbers,sort]{natbib}.

The problem is that the sort order of the references ...
