I am trying to use bibtex for the first time. I am on windows 7, using TeXstudio. I am trying to follow the steps of this (french) webpage : http://www.tuteurs.ens.fr/logiciels/latex/bibtex.html
I have created a .bib file, put it in the right directory and written the code in my .tex file. Howev...
@egreg you may be an expert at trivia like drawing pictures with tikz-pgf (along with everyone else and his dog, it seems) but I can do serious typesetting stuff like line-breaking
I am adding two images in a page, the first image is at top and then when placing second image, apparently, the Tex gives a very long border to the second image from both top and bottom. I attached the photo to indicate that the image itself has narrow border and then the long gap appears.

@PauloCereda I know a guy from Sweden who had to buy a jacket when he arrived in Greece, because he's never met seacoast humid winds. It was below zero in Sweden and about 10 in Greece!
Is it possible to modify LaTeX so that good old $$...$$ behaves like align* (and by this I mean that it should be synonymous to it).
If yes: Dear LaTeX3 developer, please integrate this into LaTeX3! (Not that I really believe you will actually do this.)

why \special{! /pdfmark where and so limit yourself to latex and one driver rather than use hyperref so it works with latex or pdflatex etc, choosing a suitable syntax in each case 9as for graphics inclusion and color) ?
I'm trying to create a table with exactly the same width as the surronding text.
I would expect that the command \resizebox{\linewidth}{!}{..table..} should do the job. However, the tables width is still too small.

@JosephWright I'm still worried a bit about how xetex patches will be handled now Khaled's declared his github clone read only, but let's see what happens...
Okay, I did fix my first problem. There's a second one though. How can I set the x, y, z variables of my \tikzset without trial and error? I'd like a new perspective on my 3d plot but it's not heading in the right direction yet....
I have one confusion that is why we used 65536 for conversion and divide it with \number ex: \makeatletter \def\convertto#1#2{\strip@pt\dimexpr #2*65536/\number\dimexpr 1#1} \makeatother
@DavidCarlisle no. The connection to his work is weak, so it's borderline -- I wouldn't think of citing it if it wasn't him probably, but I can cite it without any harm :)
@enadulshaheen I no idea where \Printdimen is defined or what value your \hsize should print as:-) if you have a coding problem it's best to make a reproducible example as a question on the main site, not in this chat room.

@enadulshaheen Your questions are not understandable sorry. You post some fragment of tex that I can not run and state what output you get but don't say what output you expect.
@enadulshaheen fine, but you can use \section in a latex document without needing to know how every line of its definition works, why is \Printdimen different? (It is simple enough really once you realise that \dimen0=1pt \count0=\dimen0 sets \count0 to 2^{16} but you don't need to know the definition
@PauloCereda have you got that google translate app on your phone so you can point at arbitrary Spanish signs and have them translated into perfect English/Portuguese?
@JosephWright experimented a bit with modifying \Uchar for high characters, I could change the behaviour but not in ways that seem particularly good. WEB isn't the easiest language to follow:(
@JosephWright I think I give up, if I use `XeTeX_Uchar_code: print_visible_char(cur_val);` instead of `print_char` it makes a single token as checked with `\def\zz#1#2#3#4{[#1][#2][#3][#4]} \immediate\write20{TEST2: \expandafter\zz\z123456789}` (it all ends in `#1` but `\if` tests still fail to say it is the same character, and printing to the terminal is messed up so debugging isn't much fun. Hmm this was supposed to be the easy addition before looking at direction TRT
@yo' thank you for your insight, I'll forward to the xetex list.
Well, really no need to go into source code surfing here.

For those of you who've always wondered why students from the U.S. end up with such awfully formatted dissertations, this Formatting Tutorial is a tour de force of awfulness.
@AlanMunn But they warn about it: “The formatting requirements set by the Graduate School are NOT comparable to the formatting requirements set by any journals you may have published in or may publish in.” :)

@Canageek There are several things in TeXStudio I don't like. I discovered one more: the autocompletion is too intrusive. I'd expect that if I don't choose one of the suggested commands, no completion is performed, not the first one.
@egreg Yeah, that would be nice. I prefer tab completion myself. I should really just learn to write in emacs, but I find the settings that I like for writing are not those I like in a text editor.
I have problems vertically aligning text in my table.
I define new column type like this:
\newcolumntype{M}{>{\centering\arraybackslash}m{\dimexpr.25\linewidth-2\tabcolsep}}
And this works for all column but last one. Any idea why doesn't it work for the last one?

@DavidCarlisle: Oh, I suppose... Actually, other language will complain even if you write int x = 1234abcd, so I suppose Tex is more powerful. Its just different.
@Karalga exactly, in most programming languages, either end of line or a ; or something terminates the expression but TeX syntax is optimised for writing the text of the document and not optimised at all for writing code.
@Karalga Very common error: adding % where it's wrong or not adding it when it's necessary. As @DavidCarlisle will confirm, this is what gave me at least 250k of my rep.
@Karalga in the above the first % is wrong as it removes the inter-word space between three and four, the second % is needed to avoid a space before . and the last % is harmless but pointless.
@Karalga yes, and the same parser is used when parsing macro definitions, so the same rules apply
@Karalga as I say tex syntax is optimised for writing paragraphs of text in an editor that hard wraps the text flow, the macro syntax has to fit round that basic design aim.
@Karalga no, to do with the token being formed, once it sees \ it absorbs all characters of catcode 11 (letters) into the command name token but the `% isn't catcode 11 so terminates the command name, then it's recognosed as a comment so the rest of the line is skipped, then the f letter is seen but it is tokenised as a character token
Very, very off-topic. Does anybody know what might cause text in an RTF file not to wrap at the end of lines? A student has submitted work to me and the end of every line goes off the page so it cannot be seen. The page margins seem right. and the text is definitely there. (I can copy-paste it.) I wouldn't even know how to make LibreOffice do this if I wanted to, and I have no idea how to undo it.
@PauloCereda I thought that was plain text files? It has some line endings, though. For paragraphs and some others. But the lines are just much too long and it won't wrap, and I have no clue!
It is also the first document I've ever seen which uses dingbats as reference markers...!
@cfr I have no idea how to deal with RTF, to be honest. Maybe you could exploit pandoc to do some conversions back and forth, then issue a resulting .rtf file?
@PauloCereda Thanks. Maybe I'll see what IT can do. I can mark it OK. (I copy-pasted it into Kile.) But I can't print a copy for the moderator like this.
@cfr RTF is a very poorly standardized markup on top on txt. I'd try a different viewer and see if that works better? I bet Wordpad would run in Wine. Ask what they made it with?
The Rich Text Format (often abbreviated RTF) is a proprietary document file format with published specification developed by Microsoft Corporation from 1987 until 2008 for cross-platform document interchange with Microsoft products.
Most word processors are able to read and write some versions of RTF. There are several different revisions of RTF specification and portability of files will depend on what version of RTF is being used. RTF specifications were changed and published with major Microsoft Word and Office versions.
It should not be confused with enriched text (mimetype "text/enriched"...
@Canageek Thanks. I don't think I'm up to installing WINE to try to read it. I agree that the format is a mess. However, I can usually manage OK with LibreOffice. I just don't know what the equivalent of ctrl+R from Thunderbird is. (Reflow text...) Indeed, there is probably no such thing in a WP ;).
Jabref generates a .bib reference file.
How can I use this in the TeXstudio?
