I have a long (and convoluted) top matter file which I cobbled together from the web (incl. this site -- thanks), but I haven't actually learned Latex. So I need a fairly easy and direct method to do so. There were some complicated discussions I found, but could not make any work.
I am using (for now) TeXnicCenter and using the LaTeX ==> PDF output profile. If I change that setting to anything else, all my documents blow up.
Any advice (possibly including "maybe it's time you learned it already you lazy bastard")?
Here's a kind-of-minimum-WE (for whatever it's worth). I would not post a request like this except I can't figure it out and my students have made several comments about the font.
Code: Select all
\documentclass[14pt,fleqn,reqno]{extarticle}
%fleqn: left align equations
%reqno: equation numbers on right
\usepackage{amsfonts,amsmath,amssymb,amsthm,mathtools,commath}
\usepackage[margin=1in%,top=0.5in
]{geometry}
%\usepackage[document]{ragged2e} % To get ragged right side, causes display problems in Adobe DC. Causes latex warning about arrayparboxrestore.
\usepackage{color,bm,nicefrac,cancel}
\usepackage{grffile} % Sometimes allows for multi-period file names.
%\usepackage{enumerate} % Easy modifications of enumerate, etc.

\setlist{topsep=0pt,itemsep=0pt,
parsep=1\parsep}
%\setlist[enumerate]{label=\textbf{\alph*}.}
\usepackage{outlines} % More flexible hierarchical outlines
\usepackage{url} % for nicer formatted URLs
