Subject: [LaTeX2e] Hanging indents+multicols

Hi.

Does anyone know how to get hanging indents when using the LaTeX
multicols package?

I am trying

\setlength{\hangindent}{1pc}
\hangafter=1

which gives what I want in plain text but, within a multicols
environment, has no effect, no matter where I put it.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Mike

Subject: [MF] grayfont illustrations into TeX documents?

Hi.

I want to use MetaFONT to produce a greyed-out logo to use as a
watermark: the sort of illustration which appears throught The
METAFONTbook, particularly in Chapter 4: Pens, gives great cause for
hope.  Appendix H remarks that the illustrations in the book were
produced with GFtoDVI.

I can generate whatever hardcopy proofs I want using MF and GFtoDVI but
I can't see how to produce a TeX document which includes grayed-out
shapes.  Fiddling around with scissors and glue seems too un-Knuthian to
be plausible.

If I understand how .dvi works, the gray font characters used by GFtoDVI
have already been placed in a particular point on each page.  This
conflicts with the idea of a document independently placing an
illustration on a page.  I've obviously missed something.

I would be pleased if someone could offer some guidance.

Thanks

Mike

Subject: Partitioned matrix

Hello, fellow LaTeX-users.

Maybe one of you can help me on this one.
I am trying to costruct a matrix (of considerable size) with between some
columns or rows a dashed line through the whole matrix (or a so called
'partitioned' matrix). I did manage to have a new row contain only dots, but
that is not a great alternative; the rows are far too much seperated and I
don't
know how to get a column of dots, anyway. This is the LaTeX-input for that
approach:

- -------------------

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage{a4wide}
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\begin{document}

\begin{eqnarray*}
\Lambda_t(L_4) =
\left[ \begin{array}{cccccccccccccc}

q_t &p_t& 0 & 0 &   &   &   &   &   &   &   &   &   &   \\
\hdotsfor{14}\\
    & 0 &q_t& 0 &p_t&   &   &   &   &   &   &   &   &   \\
    & 0 &q_t&p_t& 0 &   &   &   &   &   &   &   &   &   \\
    & 0 &q_t& 0 &p_t&   &   &   &   &   &   &   &   &   \\
\hdotsfor{14}\\
    &   &   &   & 0 &q_t& 0 & 0 &p_t&   &   &   &   &   \\
    &   &   &   & 0 &q_t&p_t& 0 & 0 &   &   &   &   &   \\
    &   &   &   & 0 &q_t& 0 &p_t& 0 &   &   &   &   &   \\
    &   &   &   & 0 &q_t& 0 & 0 &p_t&   &   &   &   &   \\
\hdotsfor{14}\\
    &   &   &   &   &   &   &   & 0 &q_t& 0 & 0 & 0 &p_t\\
    &   &   &   &   &   &   &   & 0 &q_t&p_t& 0 & 0 & 0 \\
    &   &   &   &   &   &   &   & 0 &q_t& 0 &p_t& 0 & 0 \\
    &   &   &   &   &   &   &   & 0 &q_t& 0 & 0 &p_t& 0 \\
    &   &   &   &   &   &   &   & 0 &q_t& 0 & 0 & 0 &p_t\\
\hdotsfor{14}\\
    &   &   &   &   &   &   &   &   &   &   &   &   & 1 \\

\end{array} \right]
\end{eqnarray*}

\end{document}

Can anyone please help me out, here?

From: "Massimo Pinto" <pinto@graylab.ac.uk>
Subject: Bibliography style

Dear collegues,

I enter TeXhax with the following problem: I am about to publish a paper on
the International Journal of Radiation Biology. This is their bibliography
entry style:

Ager, D. D. and Dewey, W.C., 1990, Calibration of pulsed field gel
electrophoresis...... {\em International Journal of Radiation Biology}, 58,
249-259.

What I can currently achieve using the named.bst (from the harvard family) is:

[Ager and Dewey, 1990] D.D. Ager and W.C. Dewey. Title. {\em Journal}, 58,
249-259.

When the reference is called in the text, it nicely come as [Ager and Dewey
1990] or, if the authors are more than two, as [Ager {\em et al.} 1990]
which works fine. It also does 1990a and 1990b if Ager and Dewey wrote two
papers that year.
As I am not a great expert of bibliography styles, I ask you if there is
any style which satisfies the requirements of IJRB above or what should I
do to change named.bst in that direction.

thanks in advance,

Massimo
