Talk:LaTeX/Document Structure

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

Regarding the two files tutorial2/sample.tex and tutorial2/sample.pdf, it was mentioned that links to both files exist at the end of the LaTeX/Document Structure page. The problem is that I can't find any of these links. May anybody help me, please? Thanks in advance.

The page was copied from http://www.andy-roberts.net/misc/latex/latextutorial2.html (with permission). The people who added the stuff didn't fix the links or the reference to the link at the end of the page. I just fixed it.ConditionalZenith 08:45, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] commas

Commas are incorrectly used if used when you 'breath'. I think discussion of commas is outside the subject of this wiki. A good reference in place perhaps.

[edit] Possible bug with fancyhdr?

If I use the:

\section*{Introduction}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Introduction}

To create an unnumbered chapter, then the header of the page created with fancyhdr package doesn't display the actual chapter name ("Introduction" in this case), but displays the previous chapter's name. Does it happen to you too?

Answer: yes, this also happen to me. I am looking for a solution.

[edit] Separate Table of Contents for Chapters

I have seen some theses in which each chapter has its own table of contents. This is especially useful in long theses and books. I haven't found any documentation yet on how to achieve this. Any ideas? Ben

I just found the solution: the minitoc package.

[edit] \author is not self-explanatory

The text claims that \author is self-explanatory. It might be if your document has only one author, but I find it confusing how to use \author when there are multiple authors and you want to get institutions to line up under author names. Now imagine you have a few authors from the same institution and you don't want to repeat the institution name. Not self-explanatory. It would be great to have a tutorial on \author.
