| ManDay | Another question: Is there a general rule when something is an option and when it is an argument to a command? |
|---|
| ManDay | Does memman explain how to create layout yourself? |
|---|
| oui | any idea marcellus? |
|---|
| marcellus | idea? |
|---|
| marcellus | what do you mean with escape !? |
|---|
| marcellus | '!'? |
|---|
| oui | marcellus: actually im using \lstinline at the moment and it starts and ends with ! for each column entry |
|---|
| marcellus | and.. |
|---|
| oui | but when it comes to handling symbol "!" it gives error because it doesnt recognize which is which |
|---|
| oui | http://pastebin.tlhiv.org/KPZpChNW is the example without any symbol "!" in the column entry |
|---|
| mickep | oui: try to use some other character than !. Like \lstinline|bla bla ! bla bla| |
|---|
| oui | ohh. |
|---|
| oui | one more thing is the table has limitation.when i enter up to certain rows, it cant go to the next page |
|---|
| marcellus | ,cs longtable |

| fsbot | [google] ftp://ftp.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/tools/longtable.pdf |
|---|
| fsbot | http://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/tools/longtable.pdf |
|---|
| oui | i thought of that too.but the current table is already defined. |
|---|
| oui | so how could i adapt to long table from tabular in this kind |
|---|
| oui | first, long table need to declare number of columns..as in {||||}.. |
|---|
| oui | how to change the existing table to accomodate long table? |
|---|
| marcellus | have you read the documentation? |
|---|
| nickoe | Hi. I got this: http://pastebin.org/115818 As you see if you compile, the lines does not align like the six first. How do I fix this? It is caused by the "g" under the first line. |
|---|
| oui | the long table one i supposed you mean? |
|---|
| marcellus | yes |
|---|
| oui | yes.i hope you dont mean to change all to long table |

|---|
| nickoe | hmm |
|---|
| marcellus | there is also information about longtable in the mdwtab documentation |
|---|
| oui | hmm.i havent check ed in the mdwtab |
|---|
| oui | i wish i wont have to change all to longtable but instead retain the form of the existing one |

| ManDay | What is the most common purpose of the @ character? |

| ManDay | how do you handle by-one-or-two-letter overfull hboxes? |

| fsbot | Please describe the *semantics* of what you want to typeset, not the *way* you want to typeset it. E.g., ask "How can I typeset a list?" instead of "How can I indent a line and add a bullet in front?". |

| mickep | Perhaps, we will never know. |

| quark_67 | In english (but this is not my language) my question is : how can I obtaint with \url{\txt} (or an adaptation) the 'value' of the 'string' \txt, and not litterrally the characters "\", "t", "x" and "t" ? |

| gwniobombux | hi, i'm trying to make a custom theme in latex-beamer. now i want to create a command that suppresses the subsections in the sidebar in certain frames and replaces them with custom text, something like \dontshowsects{hello, world}. any advice? |
|---|
| eporim | gwniobombux: i never used beamer, so i cannot help |
|---|
| eporim | gwniobombux: try reading ,,beamer.pdf with "texdoc beamer" in any terminal |
|---|
| fsbot | What makes you believe that? |
|---|
| eporim | or how-ever the beamer doc is named |
|---|
| bremner_ | that's a pretty weak RTFM |
|---|
| eporim | the other reply was "<nil>" |
|---|
| bremner_ | sometimes that's better :) |
|---|
| bremner_ | the manual is beameruserguide.pdf.gz |
|---|
| gwniobombux | but what i'm trying to do doesn't appear to be inside the scope of the userguide |
|---|
| bremner_ | well, it is 300 odd pages long, are you sure about that? |
|---|
| eporim | gwniobombux: so, ,,beameruserguide (texdoc beameruserguide) |
|---|
| fsbot | eporim, beamer is, like, [0] at http://latex-beamer.sourceforge.net/ |
|---|
| fsbot | [1] http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/beamer/doc/beameruserguide.pdf |

|---|
| bremner_ | and 16.3 U guess |
|---|
| bremner_ | s/U/I/ |
|---|
| gwniobombux | i'll try \ifbeamertemplateempty, might be what i need |

| ManDay | hinogi, yeah its about the squared notation. thats what that bloody thing is there fore eh? |
