title: Compilation of main tex file from a chapter file with AucTeX

text: I have a main LaTeX file that has multiple chapter files included using `\input` command. For compiling them in emacs/auctex, I have to open main LaTeX and `^C^C`. How can I compile the main LaTeX from a chapter file? ## ADDED I don't know exactly what happened, but I had to use `^C _` to specify the master file. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2199463/emacs-auctex-run-command-on-file- that-is-not-currently-open


title: How can I adjust axis labels in TikZ? (no pgfplot)

text: I'd like to have the labels for the x-values go 0,0.1,0.2,0.3 and then go up to 1.6 (which is at 8cm). However I don't understand the `\xtext`-method well enough.

title: More generic tool than TeXdoc?

text: I'm wondering if there is a more generic tool than TeXdoc to browse (and generate) documentation. With TeXdoc, one retrieves (as far as I know) the documentation `.pdf` of the package. This requires that the developer generates such `.pdf` and furthermore some of these files are not structured to find the specifications for a macro easily. Java however has a specific syntax to document methods (macros in LaTeX) such that an IDE can show documentation on the fly and web/pdf documentation can be generated automatically based on the javadoc annotations. Is there a package/tool to document a package one has developed such that other programs (IDE's, browsers) can use this information?


title: Shrink monospaced font in custom (verbatim) environments

text: I'm redesigning lecture notes for a university class since the students wanted to read the notes on their tablets, e-book readers, etc. I have code blocks in these documents, defined in the `cdblk` and `codeblocks` environments. The `codeblocks` environment is a `verbatim` environment, while `cdblk` is not, but I need them both, since for example `\textquotesingle` doesn't display correctly in verbatim (that's what I use `cdblk` for). I also have defined a `\paper` key in the preamble of the A4 paper version of the document, while in tablet versions I defined a `\tablet` key. I also have two commands `\ifpaper{}` and `\iftablet{}` for paper and tablet specific tex code. I would like to adjust the font size the above mentioned `cdblk` and `codeblock` environments when a small paper size (`\iftablet{}`) is used like in the MWE below. This is what I have tried so far, but neither of them work:   1. I've tried to use adjustbox around `cdblk` and `codeblock` environments, but I run into an error.              ! Missing \endgroup inserted.     <inserted text>                     \endgroup     l.61     \begin{codeblock}        2. I've tried to set monospaced font shrinkage with `microtype`, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. (Included in the MWE below.)              \SetExpansion[shrink=100]{family=tt*}{}        3. I've tried to define different font size `cdblk` environments for the paper and tablet versions in the preamble using `\ifpaper{}` and `\iftablet{}`, but when I compile the document the compiler doesn't notice those definitions, so it thinks that the environment is not defined. At least 72 characters should fit in the `cdblk` and `codeblock` environments with the smallest paper size I use (used in the MWE). Of course, fitting 80 characters would be better but I need 72 at least. Here is the example minimal working example:               \documentclass[10pt, titlepage]{article}          %\def\paper{1}     \def\tablet{1}          \usepackage[nohead,%         nofoot,%         nomarginpar,%         paperwidth=106.68mm,%         paperheight=142.24mm,%         tmargin=2.5mm,%         rmargin=2.5mm,%         bmargin=2.5mm,%         lmargin=2.5mm,         vscale=1,%         hscale=1]{geometry}     %\usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}     %\usepackage[headings]{fullpage}          \newcommand{\ifpaper}[1]{\ifx\paper\undefined\else{#1}\fi}     \newcommand{\iftablet}[1]{\ifx\tablet\undefined\else{#1}\fi}          \usepackage[cmyk, pdftex]{xcolor}          \definecolor{PMS420}{cmyk}{0, 0, 0, 0.15}          \usepackage[protrusion=true,%         expansion=true]{microtype}          \SetExpansion[shrink=100]{family=tt*}{}          \usepackage{verbatim}          \usepackage[framemethod=tikz,%         innerleftmargin=\parindent,%         skipabove=0.4\baselineskip,%         skipbelow=0.4\baselineskip,%         innertopmargin=0.4\baselineskip,%         innerbottommargin=0.4\baselineskip]{mdframed}          \newmdenv[linewidth=0pt,%         linecolor=PMS420,%         backgroundcolor=PMS420,%         settings={\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}}]{cdblk}     \newenvironment{codeblock}{\endgraf\verbatim}{\endverbatim}     \BeforeBeginEnvironment{codeblock}{\begin{cdblk}}     \AfterEndEnvironment{codeblock}{\end{cdblk}}          \pagestyle{empty}          \begin{document}          \begin{cdblk}     \verb+80 characters should                      fit in                        one line+     \end{cdblk}          \begin{codeblock}     80 characters should                      fit in                        one line     \end{codeblock}          \end{document}

title: How do I find out what fonts are used in a document/picture?

text: Is it possible to identify the font used in a specific document/picture? Answers to this question should identify:   * Possible methods to do this (perhaps one answer per method) and adequately describe how to use it (as opposed to merely stating it);   * Ways of finding the identified fonts, if possible (free or not); and   * Any prerequisites associated with the method used, if required (for example, "In order to use method X, your document has to be in format Y"). This question is meant as an FAQ, based on an original inquiry launched on meta. Its aim is to facilitate the community with the general procedures involved in font identification.

title: Typesetting computer modern and Latin modern font in LaTeX

I have been using LaTeX for years and have always been looking for the exact type of font used in many econ papers, such as this one. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/UhDH6.png) Some friends from the econ field told me this is just Latex's compute modern or Latin modern font (the latter gives your font a thicker, more accentuated look) or maybe some variants of times new roman. I have tried all of them on my PC (with WinEdt) and Mac (with TeXwork), but the output just don't look right. Could anyone tell me what's the type of font in that paper and which package- if needed-should I mention in the preamble? Thanks.

title: What fonts are these?

text: I have a problem identifying what fonts are used in typesetting these pdf documents. However, since I'm a beginner here with low reputation, I can't post an image caption of the files. Even if I could do so, the quality of the image is so low that I'm afraid won't be clear enough in order to identify the fonts correctly. So I managed to upload two examples pdf files in Dropbox and put the links here. I'm sorry if that may cause you any difficulty. For the first font, the letters look almost the same as the default font of Latex typesetting. However there's a small difference. You can view it in the sample file here. For the second, the letters are slightly fatter. You can view it here. Any help is greatly appreciated. I really don't know who to ask, because I just encountered the pdf files, not the .tex files, and had no idea what fonts are used.

Comparison of the image in the question > ![question](http://i.stack.imgur.com/CGTRG.png) and the typewriter font of Computer Modern (or EC or Latin Modern):               \documentclass{article}     \begin{document}     \texttt{age=25 AND name=`Bob'.}     \end{document}      > ![age25-cm](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ws2jM.png) Together with the original in black and the `\texttt` variant in red:               \documentclass{article}     \usepackage{graphicx}     \usepackage{color}          \begin{document}          \leavevmode     \raise.8pt\rlap{\includegraphics[width=50mm,trim=0 0 -.7pt 0]{age25.png}}%     \textcolor{red}{\includegraphics[width=50mm]{age25-cm.pdf}}%          \end{document}      > ![comparison](http://i.stack.imgur.com/nzNk2.png) The thickness is quite correct. However the space between the `'` and `.` is smaller.

There it looks closer to `$\mathcal O$`, though it is not quite that either.

EDIT 2: I am also a novice in programming, TeX, etc. What I want is to be able to copy paste such a table into Excel and be able to manipulate it. If I knew how to look at various source codes and extract and assemble the desired information into the desired table, I wouldn't bother posting here. I imagine I'm not the first and last person who would like to find this simple list. Perhaps no such list exists, in which case too bad for me. But I'm just asking. Thank you.

I have tried Detexify, but it does not seem to recognize the symbol even though it is very simple to draw (and therefore it is unlikely I drew it poorly). While I could look through the entire list, that seems less practical than asking if anyone is already familiar with it.

The problem is I think this first "p" is ugly, at least to my taste. I wish there was some alternative to it, for example I really love the symbol that Suppes and Halmos use in their books: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ydCfm.png) Does this symbol exist in any package?

title: Lyx 2.0 Formatted references to theorem/lemma/claim environments

text: In Lyx 2.0, I'm trying to use a formatted reference to a claim, but I cannot get the "formatted" part, i.e. I can't get it to typeset "claim" as well as the claim number. I'm using modules "Theorems (Numbered by type)" and "Theorems (Numbered by type within sections)". I have a paragraph in the "Claim" environment, with a label "claim:1". (I got the "claim:" part in there by editing `../Resources/layouts/theorems-refprefix.inc`, but I had the same behavior before I made this change.) I later put in a formatted reference which generates tex code as "`\claimref{1}`". This typesets to "... 1.1 ..." in the output, i.e. just section and claim counter number. What I'd like to see is "... claim 1.1 ..." If I change these claims to theorem environments AND delete and remake the labels (so "thm:1") and update the references, the formatted reference typesets the word "theorem" for the reference, as desired. Lemma does not seem to work (though I may not have remade all the lables.) I do see Lyx adding this to the preamble:               \AtBeginDocument{\providecommand\claimref[1]{\ref{claim:#1}}}      I also see               \RS@ifundefined{thmref}       {\def\RSthmtxt{theorem~}\newref{thm}{name = \RSthmtxt}}       {}      which I can't trace the origin of, but it may explain why theorem works. Any ideas?
