\tableofcontents and leading dots

Hello,

I am trying to write up the table of contents for my dissertation and I cant 
figure out how to get the pretty little dots in my table of contents. Advice 
for reading, or an outright suggestion on how to do this would be really 
helpful. I have some code attached below to show what I get.

Alex.

\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\begin{document}
% auxiliary pages
\pagenumbering{roman}

\tableofcontents

\listoffigures \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Figures}

\listoftables \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Tables}

\chapter*{Acknowledgements}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Acknowledgements}
\newpage
\pagenumbering{arabic}
% dissertation chapters
\chapter{Introduction}
\label{ch:intro}
%\include{}

\end{document}

dissertation style files

Hi !

I was wondering if people here have expereince with some of the many thesis 
sty files available on a google search. The two generic ones that I have 
found are:

1. hepthesis: http://tinyurl.com/7ax6s
2. thesis: http://tinyurl.com/hj94t

Advice and recommendations on which ones to use would be great. My shcool 
doen't support using LaTeX explicitly and so I am trying to do this on my 
own.

thank you,

Alex

Single column with double column

Dear All,

  Could u pls suggest some packages for constructing the first page as single column and continuing text in
the second page onwards with double column without any manual intervention.

                         XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
                         XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
                         XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
                         XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
                         XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
                         XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
                        ------------------page break----------------

                         XXXXXXXXXXX        XXXXXXXXXXXX
                           XXXXXXXXXXX        XXXXXXXXXXXX

                           XXXXXXXXXXX        XXXXXXXXXXXX
                           XXXXXXXXXXX        XXXXXXXXXXXX

Re: capitalization of the first letter in a sentence

Hello,

Is it possible to detect if a macro is expanded at the beginning of a
sentence and thereby capitalize the first letter? Say I have a macro

\newcommand{\fref}[1]{figure \ref{#1}}

and a sentence begins with \fref{}. In this case how do I capitalize
the "f" in the "figure"?

thanks,
Krishna.
Hi!
When I first read your mail, no solution occurred to me.
Yesterday I read the documentation of varioref package, which 
is a part of tools bundle.  There is a solution to your problem 
there.  Load the package with \usepackage{varioref}. You should put
\labelformat{figure}{figure~#1} before
\begin{document}. You can then use the command \Vref it provides. This 
automatically capitalised the first letter if the \Vref command is given

at the beginning of a sentence.  I think this will solve your problem.
You can do this for any environment. For example, after giving the 
command \labelformat{equation}{eqn.~#1}, it will work with equations. 
You can refer to the documentation of varioref for more details.
Best regards,
S. Venkataraman

enabling comments in pdf

Hi !

I was wondering if anyone has tried to create a pdf document using LaTeX 
that allows readers to make comments in the pdf document. This makes things 
easier for collaboration purposes with people who do not use LaTeX. I have 
seen Acrobat Reader 7.0 allows readers to input comments, and I was 
wondering if the document properties can be modified to allow for this while 
compiling.

Thank you !

Alex

Re: tugindia Digest, Vol 42, Issue 3

Hi,
In the following url  
 http://www.tug.org/TeXnik/mainFAQ.cgi?file=floats/nonFloat 

we get the code facilitates us to use subfigures with pagebreak.
I am not able to understand how to put label. If we put the label
in the begining of the caption, we get only figure number starting from
1 (that is subcounter) by using \ref and not the full reference number
foreg. instead of Figure 14.2 we get Figure 2.

A solution to the above problem will be highly appreciated.

Regards,
Ravi Shankar Gautam

Re: tugindia Digest, Vol 42, Issue 3

Hi,
The code that I had refered is the following. I don't know how to extract the full figure number from this code.
Kindly let me know if any body has the solution.

gautam
