Is there a TeX or LaTeX macro that fixes the spacing on "C++"?

Miscellaneous environmental issues, C++ FAQ Lite
Here are two LaTeX macros for the word "C++". They prevent line breaks between the "C" and "++", and the first packs the two "+"s close to each other but the second does not. Try them both and see which one you like best. newcommand{\CC}{C\nolinebreak\hspace{-.05em}\raisebox{.4ex}{\tiny\bf +}\nolinebreak\hspace{-.10em}\raisebox{.4ex}{\tiny\bf +}} Here are two more LaTeX macros for the word "C++".

Where can I find LaTeX or TeX macros for LSL?

Larch Frequently Asked Questions
You can get a LaTeX style file, 'larch.sty', and a macro file defining a bunch of mathematical symbols, 'larchmath.tex', by anonymous ftp from the following URL. ftp://ftp.cs.iastate.edu/pub/larch/tex The documentation for 'larch.sty' says that it is to be used with LaTeX 2.09. However, it can be used with LaTeX2e. To do so, put the following lines at the start of your LaTeX input.

Should I use Plain TeX or LaTeX?

TeX Frequently Asked Questions
There’s no straightforward answer to this question. Many people swear by Plain TeX, and produce highly respectable documents using it (Knuth is an example of this, of course). But equally, many people are happy to let someone else take the design decisions for them, accepting a small loss of flexibility in exchange for a saving of brain power.

How does LaTeX relate to Plain TeX?

TeX Frequently Asked Questions
LaTeX is a program written in the programming language TeX. (In the same sense, any LaTeX document is also a program, which is designed to run ‘alongside’, or ‘inside’ LaTeX, whichever metaphor you prefer.) Both exist because writing your documents in ‘raw’ TeX would involve much reinventing of wheels for every document. They both serve as convenient aids to make document writing more pleasant: LaTeX is a far more extensive aid.

How can I include an NCGM graphic in a TeX or LaTeX document?

Frequently asked questions
First you need to convert the NCGM file to PostScript with the following type of command: ctrans -d ps.color -simulatebg gmeta > gmeta.ps Convert this PostScript file to encapsulated PostScript using a filter of some kind: ps2epsi gmeta.ps gmeta.epsi (ps2epsi is a utility based on GhostScript which takes an input PostScript file and generates a new output file which conforms to Adobe's "Encapsulated Postscript Interchange" format, called EPSI.

What is LaTeX/AMS-TeX/Texinfo/etc. ?

Pointers to Frequently Asked and Answered Questions
The TeX program itself is a macro compiler. This engine is always required when processing any of the macro systems described below. TeX input consists of a stream of mixed commands and text. Commands can be defined for many purposes, not the least important of which is to permit input to be structured in a logical manner, allowing an author to concentrate on content rather than on typographic appearance. The most popular such macro set is LaTeX.

Missing style files in TeX What do I do if tex/latex claims it can not find a file?

MFCF/CSCF Frequently Asked Questions: UNIX computing environ...
Usually this means that some particular style file is missing. Use the gripe command to complain about about it and it will be added in very short order, or, an alternative package may be suggested. In the meantime, you can see if you can find the required .sty style file for download (e.g. from TUG ) and save it in the same directory as your LaTeX document. If your $PAGER variable is set to "less" sometimes the man command will truncate a man page. This is a truly ancient bug.

I don't know LaTeX or TeX but I have to use it. Can I convert from Word to LaTeX format?

Frequently Asked Questions
We do offer Publishing Companion, which is software for converting Word to LaTeX. However, the output of a document written in LaTeX will always be better than one converted from Word. The features of Word are not sufficient to produce high-quality technical documents.

How can I include an NCGM in a TeX or LaTeX document?

NCAR Graphics FAQ
First you need to get your graphic as an encapsulated PostScript file. You can do this using the direct PostScript driver or using ctrans to first convert your NCGM to PostScript and then using some kind of filter (like ps2epsi which is a utility based on GhostScript) to convert that to an encapsulated PostScript file. If you want to resize the figure, you can do so with one or both of the TeX commands: \epsfxsize=dimen \epsfbox{gmeta.epsi} epsfysize=dimen \epsfbox{gmeta.

You are almost always better off using the LaTeX version of things as they are far easier to work with. In addition, many journals have their own LaTeX style files that they distribute for use in publications and using LaTeX will prepare you well.

Can I include a JPEG (jpg) graphic file directly into TeX or LaTeX?

OSU Physics Faq's
If you want it to be portable, probably not. So you can either convert it to encapsulated postscript (eps) using a graphics program like Gimp, or use a program called jpeg2ps, which puts an eps wrapper on the jpeg file. This means you can treat it like a postscript file (as long as you have at least postscript 2, which is pretty much everywhere these days). So this is essentially like putting it directly in.

How can I convert a TeX or LaTeX file to a text (ascii) file?

OSU Physics Faq's
There is a program called detex that can be used to strip away TeX and LaTeX commands, but it is not a great solution (it is designed to be a pre-processor for a spelling checker). Maybe the best solution is to generate a postscript file and then use ps2ascii to convert from postscript to ascii. From the man page: ps2ascii uses gs(1) to extract ASCII text from PostScript(tm) or Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files.

Can Open Repository deal with TeX (LaTeX; AmSTeX, etc)?

Open Repository
It can deal with any file type. It's up to the individual viewer to ensure they have the correct software to view the file though. We will be working on implementing viewers for the most common non-standard formats. Yes. Every item in the repository is assigned it's own permanent unique identifier. There are a number of different UID formats such as DOIs but we use CNRI's Handle system.

Question 5. I have already learned TeX/LaTeX and Emacs, do I have to learn all over again?

Frequently asked questions (FSF GNU project)
Answer. You will find out, that much LaTeX-knowledge can be reused. For example, you can start a section by typing \section[return] or you get α1 by typing $\alpha_1$. Note that there are even shorter ways provided, for example $a[tab]$ gives you an alpha as well, so you might want to migrate after a while. Styles like article, book or seminar, as known from LaTeX, are provided as well. Furthermore, many Emacs shortcuts like C-x C-s for saving a file, or C-_ for undo will work.

Question 9. How can I see the LaTeX or TeX code corresponding to what I see on the screen?

Frequently asked questions (FSF GNU project)
Answer. This question is due to a fundamental misunderstanding about TeXmacs. Indeed, TeXmacs is not based on TeX/LaTeX, although it does support (not yet perfect) conversion to and from LaTeX. Furthermore, in theory at least, there is actually no need anymore to look at something like the TeX source, since TeXmacs is guaranteed to be fully WYSIWYG. Conversion to LaTeX may only be useful, when transmitting an accepted paper to the publisher of a journal. Answer.

What is TeX?

TeX Frequently Asked Questions
TeX is a typesetting system written by Donald E. Knuth, who says in the Preface to his book on TeX (see books about TeX) that it is “intended for the creation of beautiful books — and especially for books that contain a lot of mathematics”. Knuth is Emeritus Professor of the Art of Computer Programming at Stanford University in California, USA. Knuth developed the first version of TeX in 1978 to deal with revisions to his series “the Art of Computer Programming”.

How can I do calculations in a macro?

FAQ - iMacros
But instead of doing calculations in the macro, you can perform the calculations inside a script (e.g. Visual Basic Scripting, VBS). This allows you to use all kinds of more sophisticated calculations, loops (e.g. for....next loops) or conditional logic (e.g. if/then) for automating your web tasks. You can then use iimSet of the Scripting Interface to send values to a macro and the EXTRACT command to return values from a macro to the script. The file random-numbers.
