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 --__--__-- Message: 2 Date: Sat, 18 May 2002 19:58:01 -0400 (EDT) From: Matej Cepl Subject: Quotes in tt To: texhax@tex.ac.uk --8323328-1804289383-1021766287=:1240 Content-Type: TEXT/plain; charset=us-ascii 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?

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?

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!
