0913 <p>Everything LaTeX numbers for you has a counter associated with
0914 it. The name of the counter is the same as the name of the
0915 environment or command that produces the number, except with no
0916 <code>\</code>. (enumi - enumiv are used for the nested enumerate
0917 environment.) Below is a list of the counters used in LaTeX's
0918 standard document classes to control numbering.</p>

0948 </ul>
0949 <h3><a name="SEC4" href="#TOC4">\addtocounter</a></h3>
0950 <p><code>\addtocounter{counter}{value}</code></p>
0951 <p>The <code>\addtocounter</code> command increments the
0952 <code>counter</code> by the amount specified by the
0953 <code>value</code> argument. The <code>value</code> argument can be
0954 negative.</p>
0955 <h3><a name="SEC5" href="#TOC5">\alph</a></h3>
0956 <p><code>\alph{counter}</code></p>
0957 <p>This command causes the value of the <code>counter</code> to be
0958 printed in alphabetic characters. The <code>\alph</code> command
0959 uses lower case alphabetic characters, i.e., <code>a, b,
0960 c...</code> while the <code>\Alph</code> command uses upper case
0961 alphabetic characters, i.e., <code>A, B, C...</code>.</p>
0962 <h3><a name="SEC6" href="#TOC6">\arabic</a></h3>
0963 <p><code>\arabic{counter}</code></p>
0964 <p>The <code>\arabic</code> command causes the value of the
0965 <code>counter</code> to be printed in Arabic numbers, i.e.,
0966 <code>3</code>.</p>
0967 <h3><a name="SEC7" href="#TOC7">\fnsymbol</a></h3>
0968 <p><code>\fnsymbol{counter}</code></p>
0969 <p>The <code>\fnsymbol</code> command causes the value of the
0970 <code>counter</code> to be printed in a specific sequence of nine
0971 symbols that can be used for numbering footnotes.</p>
0972 <p>eg. From 1-9:</p>
0973 <p>NB. <code>counter</code> must have a value between 1 and 9
0974 inclusive.</p>
0975 <h3><a name="SEC8" href="#TOC8">\newcounter</a></h3>
0976 <p><code>\newcounter{foo}[counter]</code></p>
0977 <p>The <code>\newcounter</code> command defines a new counter named
0978 <code>foo</code>. The counter is initialized to zero.</p>
0979 <p>The optional argument <code>[counter]</code> causes the counter
0980 <code>foo</code> to be reset whenever the counter named in the
0981 optional argument is incremented.</p>
0982 <h3><a name="SEC9" href="#TOC9">\refstepcounter</a></h3>
0983 <p><code>\refstepcounter{counter}</code></p>
0984 <p>The <code>\refstepcounter</code> command works like
0985 <code>\stepcounter</code> See section <a href=
0986 "#SEC11">\stepcounter</a>, except it also defines the current
0987 <code>\ref</code> value to be the result of
0988 <code>\thecounter</code>.</p>
0989 <h3><a name="SEC10" href="#TOC10">\roman</a></h3>
0990 <p><code>\roman{counter}</code></p>
0991 <p>This command causes the value of the <code>counter</code> to be
0992 printed in Roman numerals. The <code>\roman</code> command uses
0993 lower case Roman numerals, i.e., <code>i, ii, iii...</code>, while
0994 the <code>\Roman</code> command uses upper case Roman numerals,
0995 i.e., <code>I, II, III...</code>.</p>
0996 <h3><a name="SEC11" href="#TOC11">\stepcounter</a></h3>
0997 <p><code>\stepcounter{counter}</code></p>
0998 <p>The <code>\stepcounter</code> command adds one to the
0999 <code>counter</code> and resets all subsidiary counters.</p>
1000 <h3><a name="SEC12" href="#TOC12">\setcounter</a></h3>
1001 <p><code>\setcounter{counter}{value}</code></p>
1002 <p>The <code>\setcounter</code> command sets the value of the
1003 <code>counter</code> to that specified by the <code>value</code>
1004 argument.</p>
1005 <h3><a name="SEC13" href="#TOC13">\usecounter</a></h3>
1006 <p><code>\usecounter{counter}</code></p>
1007 <p>The <code>\usecounter</code> command is used in the second
1008 argument of the <code>list</code> environment to allow the counter
1009 specified to be used to number the list items.</p>
1010 <h3><a name="SEC14" href="#TOC14">\value</a></h3>
1011 <p><code>\value{counter}</code></p>
1012 <p>The <code>\value</code> command produces the value of the
1013 <code>counter</code> named in the mandatory argument. It can be
1014 used where LaTeX expects an integer or number, such as the second
1015 argument of a <code>\setcounter</code> or
1016 <code>\addtocounter</code> command, or in:</p>
1017 <pre>
1018         \hspace{\value{foo}\parindent}
1019 </pre>
1020 <p>It is useful for doing arithmetic with counters.</p>

1027 <p>One reason for numbering things like figures and equations is to
1028 refer the reader to them, as in "See Figure 3 for more
1029 details."</p>
1030 <ul>
1031 <li><a href="#SEC16">\label</a>: Assign a symbolic name to a piece
1032 of text.</li>
1033 <li><a href="#SEC17">\pageref</a>: Refer to a page number.</li>
1034 <li><a href="#SEC18">\ref</a>: Refer to a section, figure or
1035 similar.</li>
1036 </ul>
1037 <h3><a name="SEC16" href="#TOC16">\label</a></h3>
1038 <p><code>\label{key}</code></p>
1039 <p>A <code>\label</code> command appearing in ordinary text assigns
1040 to the <code>key</code> the number of the current sectional unit;
1041 one appearing inside a numbered environment assigns that number to
1042 the <code>key</code>.</p>
1043 <p>A <code>key</code> can consist of any sequence of letters,
1044 digits, or punctuation characters. Upper and lowercase letters are
1045 different.</p>
1046 <p>To avoid accidentally creating two labels with the same name, it
1047 is common to use labels consisting of a prefix and a suffix
1048 separated by a colon. The prefixes conventionally used are</p>
1049 <ul>
1050 <li><code>cha</code> for chapters</li>
1051 <li><code>sec</code> for lower-level sectioning commands</li>
1052 <li><code>fig</code> for figures</li>
1053 <li><code>tab</code> for tables</li>
1054 <li><code>eq</code> for equations</li>
1055 </ul>
1056 <p>Thus, a label for a figure would look like
1057 <code>fig:bandersnatch</code>.</p>
1058 <h3><a name="SEC17" href="#TOC17">\pageref</a></h3>
1059 <p><code>\pageref{key}</code></p>
1060 <p>The <code>\pageref</code> command produces the page number of
1061 the place in the text where the corresponding <code>\label</code>
1062 command appears. ie. where <code>\label{key}</code> appears.</p>
1063 <h3><a name="SEC18" href="#TOC18">\ref</a></h3>
1064 <p><code>\ref{key}</code></p>
1065 <p>The <code>\ref</code> command produces the number of the
1066 sectional unit, equation number, ... of the corresponding
1067 <code>\label</code> command.</p>

1311  .
1312  .
1313  .
1314 \end{array}
1315 </pre>
1316 <p>Math arrays are produced with the array environment. It has a
1317 single mandatory argument describing the number of columns and the
1318 alignment within them. Each column, <code>coln</code>, is specified
1319 by a single letter that tells how items in that row should be
1320 formatted.</p>
1321 <ul>
1322 <li><code>c</code> -- for centred</li>
1323 <li><code>l</code> -- for flush left</li>
1324 <li><code>r</code> -- for flush right</li>
1325 </ul>
1326 <p>Column entries must be separated by an <code>&amp;</code>.
1327 Column entries may include other LaTeX commands. Each row of the
1328 array must be terminated with the string <code>\\</code>.</p>
1329 <p>Note that the <code>array</code> environment can only be used in
1330 math mode, so normally it is used inside an <code>equation</code>
1331 environment.</p>
1332 <h3><a name="SEC32" href="#TOC32">center</a></h3>
1333 <pre>
1334  \begin{center}

1336  Text on line 2 \\
1337  .
1338  .
1339  .
1340  \end{center}
1341 </pre>
1342 <p>The <code>center</code> environment allows you to create a
1343 paragraph consisting of lines that are centred within the left and
1344 right margins on the current page. Each line must be terminated
1345 with the string <code>\\</code>.</p>
1346 <ul>
1347 <li><a href="#SEC33">\centering</a>: The declaration form of the
1348 <code>center</code> environment.</li>
1349 </ul>
1350 <h4><a name="SEC33" href="#TOC33">\centering</a></h4>
1351 <p>This declaration corresponds to the <code>center</code>
1352 environment. This declaration can be used inside an environment
1353 such as <code>quote</code> or in a <code>parbox</code>. The text of
1354 a figure or table can be centred on the page by putting a
1355 <code>\centering</code> command at the beginning of the figure or
1356 table environment.</p>
1357 <p>Unlike the <code>center</code> environment, the
1358 <code>\centering</code> command does not start a new paragraph; it
1359 simply changes how LaTeX formats paragraph units. To affect a
1360 paragraph unit's format, the scope of the declaration must contain
1361 the blank line or <code>\end</code> command (of an environment like
1362 quote) that ends the paragraph unit.</p>
1363 <h3><a name="SEC34" href="#TOC34">description</a></h3>

1370  .
1371  \end{description}
1372 </pre>
1373 <p>The <code>description</code> environment is used to make
1374 labelled lists. The <code>label</code> is bold face and flushed
1375 right.</p>
1376 <h3><a name="SEC35" href="#TOC35">enumerate</a></h3>
1377 <p><a name="IDX69"></a> <a name="IDX70"></a></p>

1383  .
1384  .
1385  \end{enumerate}
1386 </pre>
1387 <p>The <code>enumerate</code> environment produces a numbered list.
1388 Enumerations can be nested within one another, up to four levels
1389 deep. They can also be nested within other paragraph-making
1390 environments.</p>
1391 <p>Each item of an enumerated list begins with an
1392 <code>\item</code> command. There must be at least one
1393 <code>\item</code> command within the environment.</p>
1394 <p>The <code>enumerate</code> environment uses the
1395 <code>enumi</code> through <code>enumiv</code> counters (see
1396 section <a href="#SEC3">Counters</a>). The type of numbering can be
1397 changed by redefining <code>\theenumi</code> etc.</p>
1398 <h3><a name="SEC36" href="#TOC36">eqnarray</a></h3>

1407  .
1408  \end{eqnarray}
1409 </pre>
1410 <p>The <code>eqnarray</code> environment is used to display a
1411 sequence of equations or inequalities. It is very much like a
1412 three-column <code>array</code> environment, with consecutive rows
1413 separated by <code>\\</code> and consecutive items within a row
1414 separated by an <code>&amp;</code>.</p>
1415 <p>An equation number is placed on every line unless that line has
1416 a <code>\nonumber</code> command.</p>
1417 <p>The command <code><a name="IDX74">\lefteqn</a></code> is used
1418 for splitting long formulas across lines. It typesets its argument
1419 in display style flush left in a box of zero width.</p>
1420 <h3><a name="SEC37" href="#TOC37">equation</a></h3>

1424  \begin{equation}
1425   math formula
1426  \end{equation}
1427 </pre>
1428 <p>The <code>equation</code> environment centres your equation on
1429 the page and places the equation number in the right margin.</p>
1430 <h3><a name="SEC38" href="#TOC38">figure</a></h3>
1431 <p><a name="IDX78"></a> <a name="IDX79"></a></p>

1438  \end{figure}
1439 </pre>
1440 <p>Figures are objects that are not part of the normal text, and
1441 are usually "floated" to a convenient place, like the top of a
1442 page. Figures will not be split between two pages.</p>
1443 <p>The optional argument <code>[placement]</code> determines where
1444 LaTeX will try to place your figure. There are four places where
1445 LaTeX can possibly put a float:</p>
1446 <ol>
1447 <li><code>h</code> (Here) - at the position in the text where the
1448 figure environment appears.</li>
1449 <li><code>t</code> (Top) - at the top of a text page.</li>
1450 <li><code>b</code> (Bottom) - at the bottom of a text page.</li>
1451 <li><code>p</code> (Page of floats) - on a separate float page,
1452 which is a page containing no text, only floats.</li>
1453 </ol>
1454 <p>The standard report and article classes use the default
1455 placement <code>tbp</code>.</p>
1456 <p>The body of the figure is made up of whatever text, LaTeX
1457 commands, etc. you wish. The <code>\caption</code> command allows
1458 you to title your figure.</p>
1459 <h3><a name="SEC39" href="#TOC39">flushleft</a></h3>

1470 </pre>
1471 <p>The <code>flushleft</code> environment allows you to create a
1472 paragraph consisting of lines that are flushed left, to the
1473 left-hand margin. Each line must be terminated with the string
1474 <code>\\</code>.</p>
1475 <ul>

1482 <p>This declaration corresponds to the <code>flushleft</code>
1483 environment. This declaration can be used inside an environment
1484 such as <code>quote</code> or in a <code>parbox</code>.</p>
1485 <p>Unlike the <code>flushleft</code> environment, the
1486 <code>\raggedright</code> command does not start a new paragraph;
1487 it simply changes how LaTeX formats paragraph units. To affect a
1488 paragraph unit's format, the scope of the declaration must contain
1489 the blank line or <code>\end</code> command (of an environment like
1490 quote) that ends the paragraph unit.</p>

1517 <p>Unlike the <code>flushright</code> environment, the
1518 <code>\raggedleft</code> command does not start a new paragraph; it
1519 simply changes how LaTeX formats paragraph units. To affect a
1520 paragraph unit's format, the scope of the declaration must contain
1521 the blank line or <code>\end</code> command (of an environment like

1534 </pre>
1535 <p>The <code>itemize</code> environment produces a "bulleted" list.
1536 Itemizations can be nested within one another, up to four levels
1537 deep. They can also be nested within other paragraph-making
1538 environments.</p>
1539 <p>Each item of an <code>itemized</code> list begins with an
1540 <code>\item</code> command. There must be at least one
1541 <code>\item</code> command within the environment.</p>
1542 <p>The <code>itemize</code> environment uses the <code>itemi</code>
1543 through <code>itemiv</code> counters (see section <a href=
1544 "#SEC3">Counters</a>). The type of numbering can be changed by
1545 redefining <code>\theitemi</code> etc.</p>
1546 <h3><a name="SEC44" href="#TOC44">letter</a></h3>
1547 <p><a name="IDX98"></a></p>
1548 <p>This environment is used for creating letters. See section

1550 <h3><a name="SEC45" href="#TOC45">list</a></h3>
1551 <p><a name="IDX99"></a> <a name="IDX100"></a></p>
1552 <p>The <code>list</code> environment is a generic environment which
1553 is used for defining many of the more specific environments. It is
1554 seldom used in documents, but often in macros.</p>
1555 <pre>

1563 </pre>
1564 <p>The <code>{label}</code> argument specifies how items should be
1565 labelled. This argument is a piece of text that is inserted in a
1566 box to form the label. This argument can and usually does contain
1567 other LaTeX commands.</p>
1568 <p>The <code>{spacing}</code> argument contains commands to change
1569 the spacing parameters for the list. This argument will most often
1570 be null, i.e., <code>{}</code>. This will select all default
1571 spacing which should suffice for most cases.</p>

1580 <p>The <code>minipage</code> environment is similar to a
1581 <code>\parbox</code> command. It takes the same optional
1582 <code>position</code> argument and mandatory <code>width</code>
1583 argument. You may use other paragraph-making environments inside a
1584 minipage.</p>
1585 <p>Footnotes in a <code>minipage</code> environment are handled in
1586 a way that is particularly useful for putting footnotes in figures
1587 or tables. A <code>\footnote</code> or <code>\footnotetext</code>
1588 command puts the footnote at the bottom of the minipage instead of
1589 at the bottom of the page, and it uses the <code>mpfootnote</code>
1590 counter instead of the ordinary <code>footnote</code> counter See
1591 section <a href="#SEC3">Counters</a>.</p>
1592 <p>NOTE: Don't put one minipage inside another if you are using
1593 footnotes; they may wind up at the bottom of the wrong
1594 minipage.</p>

1605  \end{picture}
1606 </pre>
1607 <p>The <code>picture</code> environment allows you to create just
1608 about any kind of picture you want containing text, lines, arrows
1609 and circles. You tell LaTeX where to put things in the picture by
1610 specifying their coordinates. A coordinate is a number that may
1611 have a decimal point and a minus sign -- a number like
1612 <code>5</code>, <code>2.3</code> or <code>-3.1416</code>. A
1613 coordinate specifies a length in multiples of the unit length
1614 <code>\unitlength</code>, so if <code>\unitlength</code> has been
1615 set to <code>1cm</code>, then the coordinate 2.54 specifies a
1616 length of 2.54 centimetres. You can change the value of
1617 <code>\unitlength</code> anywhere you want, using the
1618 <code>\setlength</code> command, but strange things will happen if
1619 you try changing it inside the picture environment.</p>
1620 <p>A position is a pair of coordinates, such as
1621 <code>(2.4,-5)</code>, specifying the point with x-coordinate
1622 <code>2.4</code> and y-coordinate <code>-5</code>. Coordinates are
1623 specified in the usual way with respect to an origin, which is
1624 normally at the lower-left corner of the picture. Note that when a
1625 position appears as an argument, it is not enclosed in braces; the
1626 parentheses serve to delimit the argument.</p>
1627 <p>The <code>picture</code> environment has one mandatory argument,
1628 which is a <code>position</code>. It specifies the size of the
1629 picture. The environment produces a rectangular box with width and
1630 height determined by this argument's x- and y-coordinates.</p>
1631 <p>The <code>picture</code> environment also has an optional
1632 <code>position</code> argument, following the <code>size</code>
1633 argument, that can change the origin. (Unlike ordinary optional
1634 arguments, this argument is not contained in square brackets.) The
1635 optional argument gives the coordinates of the point at the
1636 lower-left corner of the picture (thereby determining the origin).
1637 For example, if <code>\unitlength</code> has been set to
1638 <code>1mm</code>, the command</p>
1639 <pre>
1640    \begin{picture}(100,200)(10,20)
1641 </pre>
1642 <p>produces a picture of width 100 millimeters and height 200
1643 millimeters, whose lower-left corner is the point (10,20) and whose
1644 upper-right corner is therefore the point (110,220). When you first
1645 draw a picture, you will omit the optional argument, leaving the
1646 origin at the lower-left corner. If you then want to modify your
1647 picture by shifting everything, you just add the appropriate
1648 optional argument.</p>
1649 <p>The environment's mandatory argument determines the nominal size
1650 of the picture. This need bear no relation to how large the picture
1651 really is; LaTeX will happily allow you to put things outside the
1652 picture, or even off the page. The picture's nominal size is used
1653 by LaTeX in determining how much room to leave for it.</p>
1654 <p>Everything that appears in a picture is drawn by the
1655 <code>\put</code> command. The command</p>
1656 <pre>
1657    \put (11.3,-.3){...}
1658 </pre>
1659 <p>puts the object specified by <code>...</code> in the picture,
1660 with its reference point at coordinates (11.3,-.3). The reference
1661 points for various objects will be described below.</p>
1662 <p>The <code>\put</code> command creates an <strong>LR
1663 box</strong>. You can put anything in the text argument of the
1664 <code>\put</code> command that you'd put into the argument of an
1665 <code>\mbox</code> and related commands. When you do this, the
1666 reference point will be the lower left corner of the box.</p>

1688 <h4><a name="SEC48" href="#TOC48">\circle</a></h4>
1689 <p><a name="IDX108"></a></p>
1690 <p><code>\circle[*]{diameter}</code></p>
1691 <p>The <code>\circle</code> command produces a circle with a
1692 diameter as close to the specified one as possible. If the
1693 <code>*</code>-form of the command is used, LaTeX draws a solid
1694 circle.</p>
1695 <p>Note that only circles up to 40 pt can be drawn.</p>
1696 <h4><a name="SEC49" href="#TOC49">\dashbox</a></h4>
1697 <p><a name="IDX109"></a></p>
1698 <p>Draws a box with a dashed line.</p>
1699 <p><code>\dashbox{dash_length}(width,height){...}</code></p>
1700 <p>The <code>\dashbox</code> has an extra argument which specifies
1701 the width of each dash. A dashed box looks best when the
1702 <code>width</code> and <code>height</code> are multiples of the
1703 <code>dash_length</code>.</p>
1704 <h4><a name="SEC50" href="#TOC50">\frame</a></h4>
1705 <p><a name="IDX110"></a></p>
1706 <p><code>\frame{...}</code></p>
1707 <p>The <code>\frame</code> command puts a rectangular frame around
1708 the object specified in the argument. The reference point is the
1709 bottom left corner of the frame. No extra space is put between the
1710 frame and the object.</p>
1711 <h4><a name="SEC51" href="#TOC51">\framebox</a></h4>
1712 <p><a name="IDX111"></a></p>
1713 <p><code>\framebox(width,height)[position]{...}</code></p>
1714 <p>The <code>\framebox</code> command is exactly the same as the
1715 <code>\makebox</code> command, except that it puts a frame around
1716 the outside of the box that it creates.</p>
1717 <p>The <code>framebox</code> command produces a rule of thickness
1718 <code>\fboxrule</code>, and leaves a space <code>\fboxsep</code>
1719 between the rule and the contents of the box.</p>
1720 <h4><a name="SEC52" href="#TOC52">\line</a></h4>
1721 <p><a name="IDX112"></a></p>
1722 <p><code>\line(x slope,y slope){length}</code></p>
1723 <p>The <code>\line</code> command draws a line of the specified
1724 <code>length</code> and <code>slope</code>.</p>
1725 <p>Note that LaTeX can only draw lines with slope = x/y, where x
1726 and y have integer values from -6 through 6.</p>
1727 <h4><a name="SEC53" href="#TOC53">\linethickness</a></h4>
1728 <p><a name="IDX113"></a></p>
1729 <p><code>\linethickness{dimension}</code></p>
1730 <p>Declares the thickness of horizontal and vertical lines in a
1731 picture environment to be <code>dimension</code>, which must be a
1732 positive length. It does not affect the thickness of slanted lines
1733 and circles, or the quarter circles drawn by <code>\oval</code> to
1734 form the corners of an oval.</p>
1735 <h4><a name="SEC54" href="#TOC54">\makebox</a></h4>
1736 <p><a name="IDX114"></a></p>
1737 <p><code>\makebox(width,height)[position]{...}</code></p>
1738 <p>The <code>\makebox</code> command for the picture environment is
1739 similar to the normal <code>\makebox</code> command except that you
1740 must specify a <code>width</code> and <code>height</code> in
1741 multiples of <code>\unitlength</code>.</p>
1742 <p>The optional argument, <code>[position]</code>, specifies the
1743 quadrant that your text appears in. You may select up to two of the
1744 following:</p>
1745 <ul>
1746 <li><code>t</code> - Moves the item to the top of the
1747 rectangle</li>
1748 <li><code>b</code> - Moves the item to the bottom</li>
1749 <li><code>l</code> - Moves the item to the left</li>
1750 <li><code>r</code> - Moves the item to the right</li>
1751 </ul>
1752 <p>See section <a href="#SEC157">\makebox</a>.</p>
1753 <h4><a name="SEC55" href="#TOC55">\multiput</a></h4>
1754 <p><a name="IDX115"></a></p>
1755 <p><code>\multiput(x coord,y coord)(delta x,delta y){number of
1756 copies}{object}</code></p>
1757 <p>The <code>\multiput</code> command can be used when you are
1758 putting the same object in a regular pattern across a picture.</p>
1759 <h4><a name="SEC56" href="#TOC56">\oval</a></h4>
1760 <p><a name="IDX116"></a></p>
1761 <p><code>\oval(width,height)[portion]</code></p>
1762 <p>The <code>\oval</code> command produces a rectangle with rounded
1763 corners. The optional argument, <code>[portion]</code>, allows you
1764 to select part of the oval.</p>
1765 <ul>
1766 <li><code>t</code> - Selects the top portion</li>
1767 <li><code>b</code> - Selects the bottom portion</li>
1768 <li><code>r</code> - Selects the right portion</li>
1769 <li><code>l</code> - Selects the left portion</li>
1770 </ul>
1771 <p>Note that the "corners" of the oval are made with quarter
1772 circles with a maximum radius of 20 pt, so large "ovals" will look
1773 more like boxes with rounded corners.</p>
1774 <h4><a name="SEC57" href="#TOC57">\put</a></h4>
1775 <p><a name="IDX117"></a></p>
1776 <p><code>\put(x coord,y coord){ ... }</code></p>
1777 <p>The <code>\put</code> command places the item specified by the
1778 mandatory argument at the given coordinates.</p>
1779 <h4><a name="SEC58" href="#TOC58">\shortstack</a></h4>
1780 <p><a name="IDX118"></a></p>
1781 <p><code>\shortstack[position]{... \\ ... \\ ...}</code></p>
1782 <p>The <code>\shortstack</code> command produces a stack of
1783 objects. The valid positions are:</p>
1784 <ul>
1785 <li><code>r</code> - Moves the objects to the right of the
1786 stack</li>
1787 <li><code>l</code> - Moves the objects to the left of the
1788 stack</li>
1789 <li><code>c</code> - Moves the objects to the center of the stack
1790 (default)</li>
1791 </ul>
1792 <h4><a name="SEC59" href="#TOC59">\vector</a></h4>
1793 <p><a name="IDX119"></a></p>
1794 <p><code>\vector(x slope,y slope){length}</code></p>
1795 <p>The <code>\vector</code> command draws a line with an arrow of
1796 the specified length and slope. The <code>x</code> and
1797 <code>y</code> values must lie between -4 and +4, inclusive.</p>

1830  .
1831  \end{tabbing}
1832 </pre>
1833 <p>The <code>tabbing</code> environment provides a way to align
1834 text in columns. It works by setting tab stops and tabbing to them
1835 much the way you do with an ordinary typewriter.</p>
1836 <p>It is best suited for cases where the width of each column is
1837 constant and known in advance.</p>
1838 <p>This environment can be broken across pages, unlike the
1839 <code>tabular</code> environment.</p>
1840 <p>The following commands can be used inside a <code>tabbing</code>
1841 environment:</p>
1842 <dl>
1843 <dt><code><a name="IDX129">\=</a></code></dt>
1844 <dd>Sets a tab stop at the current position.</dd>
1845 <dt><code><a name="IDX130">\&gt;</a></code></dt>
1846 <dd>Advances to the next tab stop.</dd>
1847 <dt><code><a name="IDX131">\&lt;</a></code></dt>
1848 <dd>This command allows you to put something to the left of the
1849 local margin without changing the margin. Can only be used at the
1850 start of the line.</dd>
1851 <dt><code><a name="IDX132">\+</a></code></dt>
1852 <dd>Moves the left margin of the next and all the following
1853 commands one tab stop to the right.</dd>
1854 <dt><code><a name="IDX133">\-</a></code></dt>
1855 <dd>Moves the left margin of the next and all the following
1856 commands one tab stop to the left.</dd>
1857 <dt><code><a name="IDX134">\'</a></code></dt>
1858 <dd>Moves everything that you have typed so far in the current
1859 column, i.e. everything from the most recent <code>\&gt;</code>,
1860 <code>\&lt;</code>, <code>\'</code>, <code>\\</code>, or
1861 <code>\kill</code> command, to the right of the previous column,
1862 flush against the current column's tab stop.</dd>
1863 <dt><code><a name="IDX135">\`</a></code></dt>
1864 <dd>Allows you to put text flush right against any tab stop,
1865 including tab stop 0. However, it can't move text to the right of
1866 the last column because there's no tab stop there. The
1867 <code>\`</code> command moves all the text that follows it, up to
1868 the <code>\\</code> or <code>\end{tabbing}</code> command that ends
1869 the line, to the right margin of the tabbing environment. There
1870 must be no <code>\&gt;</code> or <code>\'</code> command between
1871 the <code>\`</code> and the command that ends the line.</dd>
1872 <dt><code><a name="IDX136">\kill</a></code></dt>
1873 <dd>Sets tab stops without producing text. Works just like
1874 <code>\\</code> except that it throws away the current line instead
1875 of producing output for it. The effect of any <code>\=</code>,
1876 <code>\+</code> or <code>\-</code> commands in that line remain in
1877 effect.</dd>
1878 <dt><code><a name="IDX137">\pushtabs</a></code></dt>
1879 <dd>Saves all current tab stop positions. Useful for temporarily
1880 changing tab stop positions in the middle of a <code>tabbing</code>
1881 environment.</dd>
1882 <dt><code><a name="IDX138">\pushtabs</a></code></dt>
1883 <dd>Restores the tab stop positions saved by the last
1884 <code>\pushtabs</code>.</dd>
1885 <dt><code><a name="IDX139">\a</a></code></dt>
1886 <dd>In a <code>tabbing</code> environment, the commands
1887 <code>\=</code>, <code>\'</code> and <code>\`</code> do not produce
1888 accents as normal. Instead, the commands <code>\a=</code>,
1889 <code>\a'</code> and <code>\a`</code> are used.</dd>
1890 </dl>
1891 <p>This example typesets a Pascal function in a traditional
1892 format:</p>
1893 <pre>
1894         \begin{tabbing}
1895         function \= fact(n : integer) : integer;\\
1896                  \&gt; begin \= \+ \\
1897                        \&gt; if \= n $&gt;$ 1 then \+ \\
1898                                 fact := n * fact(n-1) \- \\
1899                           else \+ \\
1900                                 fact := 1; \-\- \\
1901                     end;\\

1914 </pre>
1915 <p>Tables are objects that are not part of the normal text, and are
1916 usually "floated" to a convenient place, like the top of a page.
1917 Tables will not be split between two pages.</p>
1918 <p>The optional argument <code>[placement]</code> determines where
1919 LaTeX will try to place your table. There are four places where
1920 LaTeX can possibly put a float:</p>
1921 <ul>
1922 <li><code>h</code> : Here - at the position in the text where the
1923 table environment appears.</li>
1924 <li><code>t</code> : Top - at the top of a text page.</li>
1925 <li><code>b</code> : Bottom - at the bottom of a text page.</li>
1926 <li><code>p</code> : Page of floats - on a separate float page,
1927 which is a page containing no text, only floats.</li>
1928 </ul>
1929 <p>The standard <code>report</code> and <code>article</code>
1930 classes use the default placement <code>[tbp]</code>.</p>
1931 <p>The body of the table is made up of whatever text, LaTeX
1932 commands, etc., you wish. The <code>\caption</code> command allows
1933 you to title your table.</p>
1934 <h3><a name="SEC64" href="#TOC64">tabular</a></h3>

1953 </pre>
1954 <p>These environments produce a box consisting of a sequence of
1955 rows of items, aligned vertically in columns. The mandatory and
1956 optional arguments consist of:</p>
1957 <dl>
1958 <dt><code>width</code></dt>
1959 <dd>Specifies the width of the <code>tabular*</code> environment.
1960 There must be rubber space between columns that can stretch to fill
1961 out the specified width.</dd>
1962 <dt><code>pos</code></dt>
1963 <dd>Specifies the vertical position; default is alignment on the
1964 center of the environment.
1965 <ul>
1966 <li><code>t</code> - align on top row</li>
1967 <li><code>b</code> - align on bottom row</li>
1968 </ul>
1969 </dd>
1970 <dt><code>cols</code></dt>
1971 <dd>Specifies the column formatting. It consists of a sequence of
1972 the following specifiers, corresponding to the sequence of columns
1973 and intercolumn material.
1974 <ul>
1975 <li><code>l</code> - A column of left-aligned items.</li>
1976 <li><code>r</code> - A column of right-aligned items.</li>
1977 <li><code>c</code> - A column of centred items.</li>
1978 <li><code>|</code> - A vertical line the full height and depth of
1979 the environment.</li>
1980 <li><code>@{text}</code> - This inserts <code>text</code> in every
1981 row. An @-expression suppresses the intercolumn space normally
1982 inserted between columns; any desired space between the inserted
1983 text and the adjacent items must be included in text. An
1984 <code>\extracolsep{wd}</code> command in an @-expression causes an
1985 extra space of width <code>wd</code> to appear to the left of all
1986 subsequent columns, until countermanded by another
1987 <code>\extracolsep</code> command. Unlike ordinary intercolumn
1988 space, this extra space is not suppressed by an @-expression. An
1989 <code>\extracolsep</code> command can be used only in an
1990 @-expression in the <code>cols</code> argument.</li>
1991 <li><code>p{wd}</code> - Produces a column with each item typeset
1992 in a parbox of width <code>wd</code>, as if it were the argument of
1993 a <code>\parbox[t]{wd}</code> command. However, a <code>\\</code>
1994 may not appear in the item, except in the following situations:
1995 <ol>
1996 <li>inside an environment like <code>minipage</code>,
1997 <code>array</code>, or <code>tabular</code>.</li>
1998 <li>inside an explicit <code>\parbox</code>.</li>
1999 <li>in the scope of a <code>\centering</code>,
2000 <code>\raggedright</code>, or <code>\raggedleft</code> declaration.
2001 The latter declarations must appear inside braces or an environment
2002 when used in a <code>p</code>-column element.</li>
2003 </ol>
2004 </li>
2005 <li><code>*{num}{cols}</code> - Equivalent to <code>num</code>
2006 copies of <code>cols</code>, where <code>num</code> is any positive
2007 integer and <code>cols</code> is any list of column-specifiers,
2008 which may contain another <code>*-expression</code>.</li>
2009 </ul>
2010 </dd>
2011 </dl>
2012 <p>These commands can be used inside a <code>tabular</code>
2013 environment:</p>
2014 <ul>
2015 <li><a href="#SEC65">\cline</a>: Draw a horizontal line spanning
2016 some columns.</li>
2017 <li><a href="#SEC66">\hline</a>: Draw a horizontal line spanning
2018 all columns.</li>
2019 <li><a href="#SEC67">\multicolumn</a>: Make an item spanning
2020 several columns.</li>
2021 <li><a href="#SEC68">\vline</a>: Draw a vertical line.</li>
2022 </ul>
2023 <h4><a name="SEC65" href="#TOC65">\cline</a></h4>
2024 <p><a name="IDX146"></a></p>
2025 <p><code>\cline{i-j}</code></p>
2026 <p>The <code>\cline</code> command draws horizontal lines across
2027 the columns specified, beginning in column <code>i</code> and
2028 ending in column <code>j</code>, which are identified in the
2029 mandatory argument.</p>
2030 <h4><a name="SEC66" href="#TOC66">\hline</a></h4>
2031 <p><a name="IDX147"></a></p>
2032 <p>The <code>\hline</code> command will draw a horizontal line the
2033 width of the table. It's most commonly used to draw a line at the
2034 top, bottom, and between the rows of the table.</p>
2035 <h4><a name="SEC67" href="#TOC67">\multicolumn</a></h4>
2036 <p><a name="IDX148"></a></p>
2037 <p><code>\multicolumn{cols}{pos}{text}</code></p>
2038 <p>The <code>\multicolumn</code> is used to make an entry that
2039 spans several columns. The first mandatory argument,
2040 <code>cols</code>, specifies the number of columns to span. The
2041 second mandatory argument, <code>pos</code>, specifies the
2042 formatting of the entry; <code>c</code> for centred, <code>l</code>
2043 for flushleft, <code>r</code> for flushright. The third mandatory
2044 argument, <code>text</code>, specifies what text is to make up the
2045 entry.</p>
2046 <h4><a name="SEC68" href="#TOC68">\vline</a></h4>
2047 <p><a name="IDX149"></a></p>
2048 <p>The <code>\vline</code> command will draw a vertical line
2049 extending the full height and depth of its row. An
2050 <code>\hfill</code> command can be used to move the line to the
2051 edge of the column. It can also be used in an @-expression.</p>

2082 <p><code>\bibitem[label]{cite_key}</code></p>
2083 <p>The <code>\bibitem</code> command generates an entry labelled by
2084 <code>label</code>. If the <code>label</code> argument is missing,
2085 a number is generated as the <code>label</code>, using the
2086 <code>enumi</code> counter. The <code>cite_key</code> is any
2087 sequence of letters, numbers, and punctuation symbols not
2088 containing a comma. This command writes an entry on the
2089 <tt>`.aux'</tt> file containing <code>cite_key</code> and the
2090 item's <code>label</code>. When this <tt>`.aux'</tt> file is read
2091 by the <code>\begin{document}</code> command, the item's
2092 <code>label</code> is associated with <code>cite_key</code>,
2093 causing the reference to <code>cite_key</code> by a
2094 <code>\cite</code> command to produce the associated
2095 <code>label</code>.</p>
2096 <h4><a name="SEC71" href="#TOC71">\cite</a></h4>
2097 <p><a name="IDX153"></a></p>
2098 <p><code>\cite[text]{key_list}</code></p>
2099 <p>The <code>key_list</code> argument is a list of citation keys.
2100 This command generates an in-text citation to the references
2101 associated with the keys in <code>key_list</code> by entries on the
2102 <tt>`.aux'</tt> file read by the <code>\begin{document}</code>
2103 command.</p>
2104 <p>The optional <code>text</code> argument will appear after the
2105 citation, i.e. <code>\cite[p. 2]{knuth}</code> might produce
2106 `[Knuth, p. 2]'.</p>
2107 <h4><a name="SEC72" href="#TOC72">\nocite</a></h4>
2108 <p><a name="IDX154"></a></p>
2109 <p><code>\nocite{key_list}</code></p>
2110 <p>The <code>\nocite</code> command produces no text, but writes
2111 <code>key_list</code>, which is a list of one or more citation
2112 keys, on the <tt>`.aux'</tt> file.</p>

2116 <p>If you use the BibTeX program by Oren Patashnik (highly
2117 recommended if you need a bibliography of more than a couple of
2118 titles) to maintain your bibliography, you don't use the
2119 <code>thebibliography</code> environment. Instead, you include the
2120 lines</p>
2121 <pre>
2122         \bibliographystyle{style}
2123         \bibliography{bibfile}
2124 </pre>
2125 <p>where <code>style</code> refers to a file
2126 <code>style.bst</code>, which defines how your citations will look.
2127 The standard styles distributed with BibTeX are:</p>
2128 <dl>
2129 <dt><code>alpha</code></dt>
2130 <dd>Sorted alphabetically. Labels are formed from name of author
2131 and year of publication.</dd>
2132 <dt><code>plain</code></dt>
2133 <dd>Sorted alphabetically. Labels are numeric.</dd>
2134 <dt><code>unsrt</code></dt>
2135 <dd>Like <code>plain</code>, but entries are in order of
2136 citation.</dd>
2137 <dt><code>abbrv</code></dt>
2138 <dd>Like <code>plain</code>, but more compact labels.</dd>
2139 </dl>
2140 <p>In addition, numerous other BibTeX style files exist tailored to
2141 the demands of various publications.</p>
2142 <p>The argument to <code>\bibliography</code> refers to the file
2143 <code>bibfile.bib</code>, which should contain your database in
2144 BibTeX format. Only the entries referred to via <code>\cite</code>
2145 and <code>\nocite</code> will be listed in the bibliography.</p>
2146 <h3><a name="SEC74" href="#TOC74">theorem</a></h3>

2148 <pre>
2149  \begin{theorem}
2150   theorem text
2151  \end{theorem}
2152 </pre>
2153 <p>The <code>theorem</code> environment produces "Theorem x" in
2154 boldface followed by your theorem text.</p>
2155 <h3><a name="SEC75" href="#TOC75">titlepage</a></h3>

2159  \begin{titlepage}
2160   text
2161  \end{titlepage}
2162 </pre>
2163 <p>The <code>titlepage</code> environment creates a title page,
2164 i.e. a page with no printed page number or heading. It also causes
2165 the following page to be numbered page one. Formatting the title
2166 page is left to you. The <code><a name="IDX165">\today</a></code>
2167 command comes in handy for title pages.</p>
2168 <p>Note that you can use the <code>\maketitle</code> (see section
2169 <a href="#SEC132">\maketitle</a>) command to produce a standard
2170 title page.</p>

2178 </pre>
2179 <p>The <code>verbatim</code> environment is a paragraph-making
2180 environment that gets LaTeX to print exactly what you type in. It
2181 turns LaTeX into a typewriter with carriage returns and blanks
2182 having the same effect that they would on a typewriter.</p>

2193 (<code>\tt</code>) type style. There may be no space between
2194 <code>\verb</code> or <code>\verb*</code> and <code>char</code>
2195 (space is shown here only for clarity). The <code>*-form</code>
2196 differs only in that spaces are printed as `\verb*| |'.</p>

2204 <p>The <code>verse</code> environment is designed for poetry,
2205 though you may find other uses for it.</p>
2206 <p>The margins are indented on the left and the right. Separate the
2207 lines of each stanza with <code>\\</code>, and use one or more
2208 blank lines to separate the stanzas.</p>

2216 <p>Footnotes can be produced in one of two ways. They can be
2217 produced with one command, the <code>\footnote</code> command. They
2218 can also be produced with two commands, the
2219 <code>\footnotemark</code> and the <code>\footnotetext</code>
2220 commands. See the specific command for information on why you would
2221 use one over the other.</p>
2222 <ul>

2231 <p><code>\footnote[number]{text}</code></p>
2232 <p>The <code>\footnote</code> command places the numbered footnote
2233 <code>text</code> at the bottom of the current page. The optional
2234 argument, <code>number</code>, is used to change the default
2235 footnote number. This command can only be used in outer paragraph
2236 mode; i.e., you cannot use it in sectioning commands like
2237 <code>\chapter</code>, in figures, tables or in a
2238 <code>tabular</code> environment.</p>
2239 <h3><a name="SEC81" href="#TOC81">\footnotemark</a></h3>
2240 <p><a name="IDX177"></a></p>
2241 <p>The <code>\footnotemark</code> command puts the footnote
2242 <code>number</code> in the text. This command can be used in inner
2243 paragraph mode. The text of the footnote is supplied by the
2244 <code>\footnotetext</code> command.</p>
2245 <p>This command can be used to produce several consecutive footnote
2246 markers referring to the same footnote by using</p>
2247 <p><code>\footnotemark[\value{footnote}]</code></p>
2248 <p>after the first <code>\footnote</code> command.</p>
2249 <h3><a name="SEC82" href="#TOC82">\footnotetext</a></h3>
2250 <p><a name="IDX178"></a></p>
2251 <p><code>\footnotetext[number]{text}</code></p>
2252 <p>The <code>\footnotetext</code> command produces the
2253 <code>text</code> to be placed at the bottom of the page. This
2254 command can come anywhere after the <code>\footnotemark</code>
2255 command. The <code>\footnotetext</code> command must appear in
2256 outer paragraph mode.</p>
2257 <p>The optional argument, <code>number</code>, is used to change
2258 the default footnote number.</p>

2266 <p>A <code>length</code> is a measure of distance. Many LaTeX

2285 <p><code>\newlength{\gnat}</code></p>
2286 <p>The <code>\newlength</code> command defines the mandatory
2287 argument, <code>\gnat</code>, as a <code>length</code> command with
2288 a value of <code>0in</code>. An error occurs if a

2292 <p><code>\setlength{\gnat}{length}</code></p>
2293 <p>The <code>\setlength</code> command is used to set the value of
2294 a <code>length</code> command. The <code>length</code> argument can
2295 be expressed in any terms of length LaTeX understands, i.e., inches
2296 (<code>in</code>), millimeters (<code>mm</code>), points
2297 (<code>pt</code>), etc.</p>

2342 <p>You can use LaTeX to typeset letters, both personal and
2343 business. The <code>letter</code> document class is designed to
2344 make a number of letters at once, although you can make just one if
2345 you so desire.</p>
2346 <p>Your <tt>`.tex'</tt> source file has the same minimum commands
2347 as the other document classes, i.e., you must have the following
2348 commands as a minimum:</p>
2349 <pre>
2350  \documentclass{letter}
2351  \begin{document}
2352   ... letters ...
2353  \end{document}
2354 </pre>
2355 <p>Each letter is a <code>letter</code> environment, whose argument
2356 is the name and address of the recipient. For example, you might
2357 have:</p>
2358 <pre>
2359  \begin{letter}{Mr. Joe Smith\\ 2345 Princess St.
2360       \\ Edinburgh, EH1 1AA}
2361    ...
2362  \end{letter}
2363 </pre>
2364 <p>The letter itself begins with the <code>\opening</code> command.
2365 The text of the letter follows. It is typed as ordinary LaTeX
2366 input. Commands that make no sense in a letter, like
2367 <code>\chapter</code>, do not work. The letter closes with a
2368 <code>\closing</code> command.</p>
2369 <p>After the <code>closing</code>, you can have additional
2370 material. The <code>\cc</code> command produces the usual "cc:
2371 ...". There's also a similar <code>\encl</code> command for a list
2372 of enclosures. With both these commands, use <code>\\</code> to
2373 separate the items.</p>
2374 <p>These commands are used with the <code>letter</code> class:</p>
2375 <ul>
2376 <li><a href="#SEC92">\address</a>: Your return address.</li>
2377 <li><a href="#SEC93">\cc</a>: Cc list.</li>

2393 <p><a name="IDX197"></a></p>
2394 <p><code>\address{Return address}</code></p>
2395 <p>The return address, as it should appear on the letter and the
2396 envelope. Separate lines of the address should be separated by
2397 <code>\\</code> commands. If you do not make an
2398 <code>\address</code> declaration, then the letter will be
2399 formatted for copying onto your organization's standard letterhead.
2400 If you give an <code>\address</code> declaration, then the letter
2401 will be formatted as a personal letter.</p>

2477 <p>The first thing LaTeX does when processing ordinary text is to
2478 translate your input file into a string of glyphs and spaces. To
2479 produce a printed document, this string must be broken into lines,
2480 and these lines must be broken into pages. In some environments,
2481 you do the line breaking yourself with the <code>\\</code> command,
2482 but LaTeX usually does it for you.</p>

2511 <p><code>\\[*][extra-space]</code></p>
2512 <p>The <code>\\</code> command tells LaTeX to start a new line. It
2513 has an optional argument, <code>extra-space</code>, that specifies
2514 how much extra vertical space is to be inserted before the next
2515 line. This can be a negative amount.</p>
2516 <p>The <code>\\*</code> command is the same as the ordinary
2517 <code>\\</code> command except that it tells LaTeX not to start a

2521 <p>The <code>\-</code> command tells LaTeX that it may hyphenate
2522 the word at that point. LaTeX is very good at hyphenating, and it
2523 will usually find all correct hyphenation points. The
2524 <code>\-</code> command is used for the exceptional cases.</p>
2525 <p>Note that when you insert <code>\-</code> commands in a word,
2526 the word will only be hyphenated at those points and not at any of
2527 the hyphenation points that LaTeX might otherwise have chosen.</p>

2531 and causes all figures and tables that have so far appeared in the

2798 <p>When LaTeX is processing your input text, it is always in one of
2799 three modes:</p>
2800 <ul>
2801 <li>Paragraph mode</li>
2802 <li>Math mode</li>
2803 <li>Left-to-right mode, called LR mode for short</li>
2804 </ul>
2805 <p>LaTeX changes mode only when it goes up or down a staircase to a
2806 different level, though not all level changes produce mode changes.
2807 Mode changes occur only when entering or leaving an environment, or
2808 when LaTeX is processing the argument of certain text-producing
2809 commands.</p>
2810 <p>"Paragraph mode" is the most common; it's the one LaTeX is in
2811 when processing ordinary text. In that mode, LaTeX breaks your text
2812 into lines and breaks the lines into pages. LaTeX is in "math mode"
2813 when it's generating a mathematical formula. In "LR mode", as in
2814 paragraph mode, LaTeX considers the output that it produces to be a
2815 string of words with spaces between them. However, unlike paragraph
2816 mode, LaTeX keeps going from left to right; it never starts a new
2817 line in LR mode. Even if you put a hundred words into an
2818 <code>\mbox</code>, LaTeX would keep typesetting them from left to
2819 right inside a single box, and then complain because the resulting
2820 box was too wide to fit on the line.</p>
2821 <p>LaTeX is in LR mode when it starts making a box with an
2822 <code>\mbox</code> command. You can get it to enter a different
2823 mode inside the box - for example, you can make it enter math mode
2824 to put a formula in the box. There are also several text-producing
2825 commands and environments for making a box that put LaTeX in
2826 paragraph mode. The box make by one of these commands or
2827 environments will be called a <code>parbox</code>. When LaTeX is in
2828 paragraph mode while making a box, it is said to be in "inner
2829 paragraph mode". Its normal paragraph mode, which it starts out in,
2830 is called "outer paragraph mode".</p>

2869 <p><a name="IDX294"></a> <a name="IDX295"></a></p>
2870 <p><code>\author{names}</code></p>
2871 <p>The <code>\author</code> command declares the author(s), where
2872 <code>names</code> is a list of authors separated by
2873 <code>\and</code> commands. Use <code>\\</code> to separate lines
2874 within a single author's entry -- for example, to give the author's
2875 institution or address.</p>

2877 <p><a name="IDX296"></a> <a name="IDX297"></a></p>
2878 <p><code>\date{text}</code></p>
2879 <p>The <code>\date</code> command declares <i>text</i> to be the
2880 document's date. With no <code>\date</code> command, the current
2881 date is used.</p>
2882 <h3><a name="SEC135" href="#TOC135">\thanks</a></h3>
2883 <p><a name="IDX298"></a> <a name="IDX299"></a></p>
2884 <p><code>\thanks{text}</code></p>
2885 <p>The <code>\thanks</code> command produces a

2907 <p><code>\pagestyle{option}</code></p>
2908 <p>The <code>\pagestyle</code> command changes the style from the
2909 current page on throughout the remainder of your document.</p>
2910 <p>The valid options are:</p>
2911 <ul>
2912 <li><code>plain</code> - Just a plain page number.</li>
2913 <li><code>empty</code> - Produces empty heads and feet - no page
2914 numbers.</li>
2915 <li><code>headings</code> - Puts running headings on each page. The
2916 document style specifies what goes in the headings.</li>
2917 <li><code>myheadings</code> - You specify what is to go in the
2918 heading with the <code>\markboth</code> or the
2919 <code>\markright</code> commands.</li>
2920 </ul>
2921 <ul>
2922 <li><a href="#SEC139">\markboth</a>: Set left and right

2928 <pre>
2929 \markboth{left head}{right head}
2930 </pre>
2931 <p>The <code>\markboth</code> command is used in conjunction with
2932 the page style <code>myheadings</code> for setting both the left
2933 and the right heading. You should note that a "left-hand heading"
2934 is generated by the last <code>\markboth</code> command before the
2935 end of the page, while a "right-hand heading" is generated by the
2936 first <code>\markboth</code> or <code>\markright</code> that comes
2937 on the page if there is one, otherwise by the last one before the
2938 page.</p>
2939 <h3><a name="SEC140" href="#TOC140">\markright</a></h3>

2941 <pre>
2942 \markright{right head}
2943 </pre>
2944 <p>The <code>\markright</code> command is used in conjunction with
2945 the page style <code>myheadings</code> for setting the right
2946 heading, leaving the left heading unchanged. You should note that a
2947 "left-hand heading" is generated by the last <code>\markboth</code>
2948 command before the end of the page, while a "right-hand heading" is
2949 generated by the first <code>\markboth</code> or
2950 <code>\markright</code> that comes on the page if there is one,
2951 otherwise by the last one before the page.</p>

2953 <p><a name="IDX307"></a></p>
2954 <p><code>\thispagestyle{option}</code></p>
2955 <p>The <code>\thispagestyle</code> command works in the same manner
2956 as the <code>\pagestyle</code> command except that it changes the
2957 style for the current page only.</p>

2967 <p>Sectioning commands provide the means to structure your text
2968 into units.</p>
2969 <ul>
2970 <li><code>\part</code></li>
2971 <li><code>\chapter</code> (report and book class only)</li>

2975 <li><code>\paragraph</code></li>
2976 <li><code>\subparagraph</code></li>
2977 </ul>
2978 <p>All sectioning commands take the same general form, i.e.,</p>
2979 <p><code>\chapter[optional]{title}</code></p>
2980 <p>In addition to providing the heading in the text, the mandatory
2981 argument of the sectioning command can appear in two other
2982 places:</p>
2983 <ol>
2984 <li>The table of contents</li>
2985 <li>The running head at the top of the page</li>
2986 </ol>
2987 <p>You may not want the same thing to appear in these other two
2988 places as appears in the text heading. To handle this situation,
2989 the sectioning commands have an <code>optional</code> argument that
2990 provides the text for these other two purposes.</p>
2991 <p>All sectioning commands have <code>*</code>-forms that print a
2992 <i>title</i>, but do not include a number and do not make an entry
2993 in the table of contents.</p>
2994 <p><a name="IDX315"></a></p>
2995 <p><code><a name="IDX314">\appendix</a></code></p>
2996 <p>The <code>\appendix</code> command changes the way sectional
2997 units are numbered. The <code>\appendix</code> command generates no
2998 text and does not affect the numbering of parts. The normal use of
2999 this command is something like</p>
3000 <pre>

3050 <h3><a name="SEC144" href="#TOC144">\dotfill</a></h3>
3051 <p><a name="IDX318"></a></p>
3052 <p>The <code>\dotfill</code> command produces a "rubber length"
3053 that produces dots instead of just spaces.</p>
3054 <h3><a name="SEC145" href="#TOC145">\hfill</a></h3>
3055 <p><a name="IDX319"></a></p>
3056 <p>The <code>\hfill</code> fill command produces a "rubber length"
3057 which can stretch or shrink horizontally. It will be filled with
3058 spaces.</p>
3059 <h3><a name="SEC146" href="#TOC146">\hrulefill</a></h3>
3060 <p><a name="IDX320"></a></p>
3061 <p>The <code>\hrulefill</code> fill command produces a "rubber
3062 length" which can stretch or shrink horizontally. It will be filled
3063 with a horizontal rule.</p>
3064 <h3><a name="SEC147" href="#TOC147">\hspace</a></h3>
3065 <p><a name="IDX321"></a></p>
3066 <p><code>\hspace[*]{length}</code></p>
3067 <p>The <code>\hspace</code> command adds horizontal space. The
3068 length of the space can be expressed in any terms that LaTeX
3069 understands, i.e., points, inches, etc. You can add negative as
3070 well as positive space with an <code>\hspace</code> command. Adding
3071 negative space is like backspacing.</p>
3072 <p>LaTeX removes horizontal space that comes at the end of a line.
3073 If you don't want LaTeX to remove this space, include the optional
3074 <code>*</code> argument. Then the space is never removed.</p>

3078 <p><code>\addvspace{length}</code></p>
3079 <p>The <code>\addvspace</code> command normally adds a vertical
3080 space of height length. However, if vertical space has already been
3081 added to the same point in the output by a previous
3082 <code>\addvspace</code> command, then this command will not add
3083 more space than needed to make the natural length of the total
3084 vertical space equal to <code>length</code>.</p>
3085 <h3><a name="SEC149" href="#TOC149">\bigskip</a></h3>
3086 <p><a name="IDX325"></a></p>
3087 <p>The <code>\bigskip</code> command is equivalent to
3088 <code>\vspace{bigskipamount}</code> where

3095 <h3><a name="SEC151" href="#TOC151">\smallskip</a></h3>
3096 <p><a name="IDX327"></a></p>
3097 <p><code>\smallskip</code></p>
3098 <p>The <code>\smallskip</code> command is equivalent to
3099 <code>\vspace{smallskipamount}</code> where
3100 <code>smallskipamount</code> is determined by the document
3101 class.</p>
3102 <h3><a name="SEC152" href="#TOC152">\vfill</a></h3>
3103 <p><a name="IDX328"></a></p>
3104 <p>The <code>\vfill</code> fill command produces a rubber length
3105 which can stretch or shrink vertically.</p>

3107 <p><a name="IDX329"></a></p>
3108 <p><code>\vspace[*]{length}</code></p>
3109 <p>The <code>\vspace</code> command adds vertical space. The length
3110 of the space can be expressed in any terms that LaTeX understands,
3111 i.e., points, inches, etc. You can add negative as well as positive
3112 space with an <code>\vspace</code> command.</p>
3113 <p>LaTeX removes vertical space that comes at the end of a page. If
3114 you don't want LaTeX to remove this space, include the optional
3115 <code>*</code> argument. Then the space is never removed.</p>

3117 <p><a name="IDX330"></a></p>
3118 <p><code>\fbox{text}</code></p>
3119 <p>The <code>\fbox</code> command is exactly the same as the
3120 <code>\mbox</code> command, except that it puts a frame around the
3121 outside of the box that it creates.</p>
3122 <h3><a name="SEC155" href="#TOC155">\framebox</a></h3>

3125 <p>The <code>\framebox</code> command is exactly the same as the
3126 <code>\makebox</code> command, except that it puts a frame around
3127 the outside of the box that it creates.</p>
3128 <p>The framebox command produces a rule of thickness
3129 <code>\fboxrule</code>, and leaves a space <code>\fboxsep</code>
3130 between the rule and the contents of the box.</p>

3139 <p><a name="IDX333"></a></p>
3140 <p><code>\makebox[width][position]{text}</code></p>
3141 <p>The <code>\makebox</code> command creates a box just wide enough
3142 to contain the <code>text</code> specified. The width of the box is
3143 specified by the optional <code>width</code> argument. The position
3144 of the text within the box is determined by the optional
3145 <code>position</code> argument.</p>
3146 <ul>
3147 <li><code>c</code> -- centred (default)</li>
3148 <li><code>l</code> -- flushleft</li>

3169 <code>\parbox[position][height][inner-pos]{width}{text}</code></p>
3170 <p>A <code>parbox</code> is a box whose contents are created in
3171 <code>paragraph</code> mode. The <code>\parbox</code> has two
3172 mandatory arguments:</p>
3173 <ul>
3174 <li><code>width</code> - specifies the width of the parbox,
3175 and</li>
3176 <li><code>text</code> - the text that goes inside the parbox.</li>
3177 </ul>
3178 <p>LaTeX will position a <code>parbox</code> so its center lines up
3179 with the center of the text line. The optional <i>position</i>
3180 argument allows you to line up either the top or bottom line in the
3181 parbox (default is top).</p>
3182 <p>If the <i>height</i> argument is not given, the box will have
3183 the natural height of the text.</p>
3184 <p>The <i>inner-pos</i> argument controls the placement of the text
3185 inside the box. If it is not specified, <i>position</i> is
3186 used.</p>
3187 <ul>
3188 <li><code>t</code> -- text is placed at the top of the box.</li>
3189 <li><code>c</code> -- text is centred in the box.</li>
3190 <li><code>b</code> -- text is placed at the bottom of the box.</li>
3191 <li><code>s</code> -- stretch vertically. The text must contain
3192 vertically stretchable space for this to work.</li>
3193 </ul>
3194 <p>A <code>\parbox</code> command is used for a parbox containing a
3195 small piece of text, with nothing fancy inside. In particular, you
3196 shouldn't use any of the paragraph-making environments inside a
3197 <code>\parbox</code> argument. For larger pieces of text, including
3198 ones containing a paragraph-making environment, you should use a
3199 <code>minipage</code> environment See section <a href=
3200 "#SEC46">minipage</a>.</p>

3203 <p>
3204 <code>\raisebox{distance}[extend-above][extend-below]{text}</code></p>
3205 <p>The <code>\raisebox</code> command is used to raise or lower
3206 text. The first mandatory argument specifies how high the text is
3207 to be raised (or lowered if it is a negative amount). The text
3208 itself is processed in <code>LR mode</code>.</p>
3209 <p>Sometimes it's useful to make LaTeX think something has a
3210 different size than it really does - or a different size than LaTeX
3211 would normally think it has. The <code>\raisebox</code> command
3212 lets you tell LaTeX how tall it is.</p>
3213 <p>The first optional argument, <code>extend-above</code>, makes
3214 LaTeX think that the text extends above the line by the amount
3215 specified. The second optional argument, <code>extend-below</code>,
3216 makes LaTeX think that the text extends below the line by the
3217 amount specified.</p>

3220 <p><code>\rule[raise-height]{width}{thickness}</code></p>
3221 <p>The <code>\rule</code> command is used to produce horizontal
3222 lines. The arguments are defined as follows:</p>
3223 <ul>
3224 <li><code>raise-height</code> - specifies how high to raise the
3225 rule (optional)</li>
3226 <li><code>width</code> - specifies the length of the rule

3260 <p>The following characters play a special role in LaTeX and are
3261 called "special printing characters", or simply "special
3262 characters".</p>
3263 <pre>
3264                        # $ % &amp; ~ _ ^ \ { }
3265 </pre>
3266 <p>Whenever you put one of these special characters into your file,
3267 you are doing something special. If you simply want the character
3268 to be printed just as any other letter, include a <code>\</code> in
3269 front of the character. For example, <code>\$</code> will produce
3270 <code>$</code> in your output.</p>
3271 <p>One exception to this rule is the <code>\</code> itself because
3272 <code>\\</code> has its own special meaning. A <code>\</code> is
3273 produced by typing <code><a name="IDX346">$\backslash$</a></code>
3274 in your file.</p>
3275 <p>Also, <code>\~</code> means `place a tilde accent over the
3276 following letter', so you will probably want to use
3277 <code>\verb</code> instead.</p>
3278 <p><a name="IDX348"></a></p>
3279 <p>In addition, you can access any character of a font once you
3280 know its number by using the <code><a name=
3281 "IDX347">\symbol</a></code> command. For example, the character
3282 used for displaying spaces in the <code>\verb*</code> command has
3283 the code decimal 32, so it can be typed as
3284 <code>\symbol{32}</code>.</p>
3285 <p>You can also specify octal numbers with <code>'</code> or
3286 hexadecimal numbers with <code>"</code>, so the previous example
3287 could also be written as <code>\symbol{'40}</code> or
3288 <code>\symbol{"20}</code>.</p>

3296 <p>A large document requires a lot of input. Rather than putting
3297 the whole input in a single large file, it's more efficient to
3298 split it into several smaller ones. Regardless of how many separate
3299 files you use, there is one that is the root file; it is the one
3300 whose name you type when you run LaTeX.</p>

3311 <p><code>\include{file}</code></p>
3312 <p>The <code>\include</code> command is used in conjunction with
3313 the <code>\includeonly</code> command for selective inclusion of
3314 files. The <code>file</code> argument is the first name of a file,
3315 denoting <tt>`file.tex'</tt>. If <code>file</code> is one the file
3316 names in the file list of the <code>\includeonly</code> command or
3317 if there is no <code>\includeonly</code> command, the
3318 <code>\include</code> command is equivalent to</p>
3319 <pre>
3320 \clearpage \input{file} \clearpage
3321 </pre>
3322 <p>except that if the file <tt>`file.tex'</tt> does not exist, then
3323 a warning message rather than an error is produced. If the file is
3324 not in the file list, the <code>\include</code> command is
3325 equivalent to <code>\clearpage</code>.</p>
3326 <p>The <code>\include</code> command may not appear in the preamble

3331 <p>The <code>\includeonly</code> command controls which files will
3332 be read in by an <code>\include</code> command. <i>file_list</i>
3333 should be a comma-separated list of filenames. Each filename must
3334 match exactly a filename specified in a <code>\include</code>

3341 contents had been inserted in the current file at that point. The
3342 file name may be a complete file name with extension or just a

3373 <p>A table of contents is produced with the <code><a name=
3374 "IDX357">\tableofcontents</a></code> command. You put the command
3375 right where you want the table of contents to go; LaTeX does the
3376 rest for you. It produces a heading, but it does not automatically
3377 start a new page. If you want a new page after the table of
3378 contents, include a <code>\newpage</code> command after the
3379 <code>\tableofcontents</code> command.</p>

3383 and a list of tables, respectively. Everything works exactly the
3384 same as for the table of contents.</p>
