안기영 (Ahn, Ki Yung): LaTeX Tips

If you're writing about centuries, or ordinal numbers such as first, second, third, ... you might want to consider writing the following new commands and put them in your Latex document's preamble.

\newcommand{\superscript}[1]{\ensuremath{^\textrm{#1} }}

\newcommand{\subscript}[1]{\ensuremath{_\textrm{#1} }}

so you can write

Welcome to the 21\superscript{st} century.

other such quick commands can be written with

\newcommand{\th}[0]{\superscript{th}}

\newcommand{\st}[0]{\superscript{st}}

\newcommand{\nd}[0]{\superscript{nd}}

\newcommand{\rd}[0]{\superscript{rd}}

so you can write

Carl took 1\st place. Elly, Tom and Ann came in 2\nd, 3\rd and 4\th.

Stephan Bode wrote in to tell about the \textsuperscript that allows to put superscript in text, without having to resort to our own commands. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a \textsubscript in LaTeX's defaults ...

The KDE frontend for LaTeX. This ROCKS!

I had to export TEXMFCONFIG=$HOME/texmf to use texconfig with texlive in current debian unstable

20 Muiticols and Figure ¶

Floting objects do not go into the multicols environment. Instead you can wrap the multicol environment itself as a figure, and have several captions and labels bound to those captions.

\usepackage{multicol}

...

\begin{figure}{h}
\begin{multicols}{2}

 \begin{verbatim}
 int main(void} { return 0; }
 \end{verbatim}
 \caption{\label{col1fig} a minimal C program}

 \begin{verbatim}
 main = return ()
 \end{verbatim}
 \caption{\label{col2fig} a minimal Haskell program} 

 \end{multicols}
\end{figure}

A better way using minipage

\begin{figure}[h]
 \begin{tabular}{cc}
  \begin{minipage}[b]{.5\textwidth}
    \begin{verbatim}
      int main(void} { return 0; }
    \end{verbatim}
    \caption{\label{fig1} a minimal C program}
  \end{minipage}
  &
  \begin{minipage}[b]{.5\textwidth}
    \begin{verbatim}
      main = return ()
    \end{verbatim}
    \caption{\label{fig2} a minimal Haskell program}
  \end{minipage}
 \end{tabular}
\end{figure}

21 subfigure ¶

...

\usepackage{multicol}

\subfigure[hello subfigure]{ \includegraphics[angle=90]{msifig.2} }
\label{fig:LangBlock}
\caption{the figure with two subfigures}
\end{figure}
