+Subject: reference to a counter in a tabular ?
+
+Hi,
+is it possible to reference to a counter inside a tabular?
+The first column of the tabular should be an incremented number for each row.
+The second column is text. The text should contain references to other row numbers.
+The third column is text.
+I made the counter with \newcounter{test}. The increment with \refstepcounter{test}.
+The reference with \label{here} and \ref{here}.
+But the reference number was the numer of the table, not of the counter.
+
+Is it possible to solve this problem?
+
+Thanks,
+Mario Baussmann

+Hi,
+
+just from the sense of curiosity I try to create LaTeX style
+emulating ``typesetting'' of typewriter (do not say me it is
+stupid idea, I know that). It works very well when I use pcr, but
+it fails miserably when trying to go down to cmtt (see attached
+sty file), because (of course, you know it) there are some
+characters missing in cmtt. I found somewhere on DejaNews also
+attached plainTeX makro for emulating quotes, which (to my
+biggest surprise) work without any problem. However, when I tried
+to incorporate the makro into my style it failed again. Could you
+please explain, what I am doing wrong?
+
+ Thanks

+Subject: Single figure spanning two columns
+Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2002 17:52:05 +0200
+
+Dear all,
+
+is there a way to have a single figure occuping the whole page width in a
+latex document that it is using a two column style?
+
+The document definistion is as follow
+
+\documentclass[10pt,twocolumn]{./IEEEtran_v15}
+
+so the text is arranged in two column, but at a certain point I`d like to
+have a single figure to take the whole page size with the two columns
+starting again after it?
+
+Is it possible?
+
+Regards,
+Emanuele

+
+actually, it's the other way around. \linewidth (and \hsize) are left
+at the values set by the documentclass, and \textwidth is rather
+wider. it would appear that the footnotes are set at \textwidth
+(quite correctly, if one's going to span them across multiple columns
+.. i think), but that vmargin.sty isn't setting \linewidth properly,
+so that the footnotes look as if they're too wide.
+
+it seems to me that this is a vmargin bug (i'm notifying volker
+kuhlmann); for your immediate purposes i would recommend geometry.sty
+instead; i find it entirely robust whenever i use it.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+2003 July 20 - 24: Waikoloa, Big Island, Hawaii USA
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ TUG 2003: SILVER ANNIVERSARY -- 25 YEARS! -- of TeX.
+ Outrigger Waikoloa Beach Resort, Big Island, Hawaii
+ http://www.tug.org.in/tug2003/
+ tug2003@tug.org
+
+A grand reunion of TeX users worldwide is planned for the 24th Annual
+Meeting and Conference of the TeX Users Group in 2003 for the Silver
+Anniversary -- 25 YEARS! -- of TeX.
+
+Professor Hermann Zapf and cartoon artist, Duane Bibby, will be just two
+of what we hope will be a long list of renowned guests and long-time
+friends of TeX, who will help us celebrate this wonderful event.
+
+We would like to make this a big gathering of the people who have played a
+role in providing you with tools, development, and support for TeX, which
+is the best free software available for beautiful typesetting and
+typography.
+
+All users of TeX (since its birth) are invited to participate as speaker,
+attendee, volunteer, sponsor, or donor to help make this conference a
+success.
+
+What You Can Do to Help!
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+You can contribute in several ways to the success of TUG 2003:
+
+1) Come to the meeting and invite all your TeX friends to come along
+too. Register with the very early-lions *before the end of the year 2002*
+and no later than April 9, 2003, to benefit from special conference and
+accommodation rates.
+
+2) Make a donation, (however large or small) as a token of
+appreciation for having TeX available to you as free software, and let
+your colleagues and your bosses know about this meeting so that they too
+can contribute towards the event, and to the future development of the TeX
+family of programs. TeX is very much alive and doing well both as a
+front-end for authors, and a back-end as a tool in the automated processes
+that provide easy conversion to XML,PDF, HTML.
+
+3) Publishers, vendors, and other commercial users, developers, and
+distributors of products that use, or are prepared in, TeX (Plain, AmsTeX,
+AMSLaTeX, LaTeX, pdfTeX, Metafont, MetaPost, ConTeXt, etc.) can sponsor or
+co- sponsor events (coffee breaks, lunches, reception, banquet) and most
+of all towards renowned plenary speakers and TUG 2003 as a whole.
+
+4) The TeX Heritage Committee chaired by Sebastian Rahtz, will be
+organizing projects and happenings for the Silver Anniversary of TeX.
+One of these will be to publish a special volume of reflections by key
+developers and users of TeX. The book will be (temporarily) entitled:
+
+"TeX Retrospective: milestones and byways on the road to beautiful
+typography"
+
+More information will be published on the website at:
+ http://www.tug.org/tug2003/heritage/
+
+Note: Generous donors and sponsors ($500.00 or more) will receive
+ a complimentary copy of the silver anniversary volume.
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+So start planning now to join us in Hawaii in body and/or in spirit for
+TUG 2003 on July 20 - 24, 2003. Don't forget to bring along your
+snorkel...
+
+Aloha!
