I'll appreciate any input in this regard. it's not clear what you're doing and what you want. \appendix (in the standard latex classes) changes the top-level section `numbering' to be alphabetic (that's \section in article class, \chapter in book and report class); in book and report class it also changes the name `Chapter' to `Appendix'. i would expect you to be getting `A', `A.1', `A.2', ..., `B', `B.1', ... is this not what you observe? what do you actually want? - -- Robin Fairbairns ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Nov 1998 12:51:39 -0500 (EST) From: Yomi Obidi Subject: Re: appendix (TeXhax 98.7) I want something of this format: Appendix A.1 Plate Stresses { Fortran Code goes here } Appendix A.2 . . . .

(very often, one finds that universities have their own dissertation classes that address issues like this.) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Nov 1998 14:16:46 -0600 (CST) From: Leif Peterson Subject: Appendices in LaTeX Dear Yomi: First, you don't need to make each appendix a chapter, as that would make each appendix title appear in the table of contents as a chapter. Instead, simply input each appendix file with \input{appendA} (where the filename is appendA.tex) Next, at the beginning of file appendA.tex put \renewcommand{\thepage}{\arabic{page}} \thispagestyle{plain} \section*{\bf \Huge Appendix A} \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\bf Appendix A} \renewcommand{\thepage}{A--\arabic{page}} \markboth{Appendix A}{} \markright{Appendix A} then put your appendix text here. If you begin each appendix file with the commands above, an line with page number should be added to the table of contents for each appendix. Also, page numbering in appendix A will be A-1, A-2, but only in the appendix. The actual number of the page should show in the table of contents. Good luck, Leif Peterson, Ph.D. Baylor College of Medicine ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Nov 1998 14:17:43 -0600 (CST) From: Leif Peterson Subject: LaTeX Nicholas: have you tried putting the following commands in the preamble, i.e., before \begin{document}, and varying the even and odd margins and textwidth until your page numbers are even? documentstyle{article} \setlength{\textwidth}{6in} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{1.00in} \setlength{\evensidemargin}{1.00in} \begin{document} Leif E.

I can convert my pictures to postscript and then (using epsfig) insert them into latex and easily print on a postscript printer, but what happens when one has a non-ps hewlet packard for example? I understand that one may use the ``picture'' environment to draw lines etc (using texcad for example) but suppose I have a gif file? thank you very much, a.

I read in the companion that to use those fonts I must specify the package lucidbrb.sty. In the sunsite archive i download the package lucida where i find the sources to create the styles. The documentation i found suggest to do: `Latex lucidabr.ins' to create the styles and .fd files. The result is a succesion of Unrecognized command sequencies... The second thing suggested is `Latex lucidabr.yy', but it has the same effect. I decided to use latex on lucida.ins, and this time seems to work, but when i use dviscr (calling mfjob itself) doesn't find fonts needed. How can I do to use lucidbrb.sty correctly? It's so difficult obtain a style like the Companion? What is the right procedure to install it? Please help me, nobody can help me in Italy!
