WinEdt (TeX oriented editor) discussion list

Re: winedt for Ubuntu?

Yes, Emacs is great. A little bit too-much for me, though. I couldn't get used to the multiple-keys shortcuts.

I never got the spelling corrector working in Kile (on Gnome). I found a
forum thread discussing that issue, and they said you only could do
spell checking while being in KDE. But that was more than one year
ago... so perhaps it's fixed now.

ok there you are right.
Another alternative is emacs.

Kile is great, but you need to work with the KDE desktop (or install all
the KDE libraries needed for that---and even then it doesn't work well
in Gnome).

I wouldn't say that. Kile works fine with Gnome. I use it on my Ubuntu. There's just one handicap, you need okular, to use it.
But I think the idea of Nicolas, isn't bad. May you test this.

WinEDT 5.4 : How to make "Save as" directory sticky ?

Using WinEDT 5.4, is it possible to persuade
WinEDT to remember where the last "Save as"
was routed to, and to use it as the default
"Save as" location thereafter ?

WinExe on UNC Paths

I'm using GLE (http://glx.sourceforge.net/) to graph some data and save in
.eps format for incorporation into LaTeX documents. In order to integrate
it into WinEdt, I'm using Emilio Torres's macro, GleExecute.edt, (from
http://glx.sourceforge.net/downloads/downloads.html). However, it failed
when I tried to run it on some of my data, and after a bit of debugging
effort (I'm completely new to WinEdt macros) I discovered that WinExe
doesn't seem to like UNC (Uniform Naming Convention) network share names.
Modifying the WinExe Properties flags to turn off "Detached process" and
"Run in the background", I get a CMD.EXE window with the following message

File not found: 'exp0.gle'
'\\Fulbert\les\Macquarie\Writings\Dynamics of Bayesian Trust Models'
CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory.
UNC paths are not supported.  Defaulting to Windows directory.
Press any key to continue . . .

Opening my .gle file as 'H:\Macquarie\Writings\Dynamics of Bayesian Trust
Models\exp0.gle', the macro works fine. I expect the problem is with the
Directory parameter

However, I noticed that my .tex files are opened using UNC pathnames, and
LaTex, pdfLaTeX, etc. all work fine. Examining the LaTeX.edt macro, I'm not
seeing anything different that allows the WinExe call in it to work on UNC
pathnames, while the one in GleExecute.edt fails.

The original code is

LetReg(3, 'c:\Program Files\Gle4\bin\gle.exe "%n.gle"');
[...]
WinExe('','%!3 ',>
        '%p','Gle ...',011110,1,'','%p\%n.log','');

although I've currently modified it to:

WinExe('','%!3','%P','Gle ...',00000110,1,'','%p\%n.log','%p\%n.log',11);

while debugging.

What's the secret to getting WinExe to work with UNC pathnames?

Best,

figure placement

this is regarding the placement of figure. I find it a herculean task in latex. I have certain doubts regarding this, which are as follows:

1) which format is better eps or ps? --- personally i have found the quality of ps figures better than the eps format. Despite the low quality of eps format, I have observed one positive point of using eps file format --- the placement of eps figures is flexible. one can actually place the figure at the top, center or bottom of page. however, in ps format, by default it is aligned at the top of the page.

2) can the plaement of ps figures be aligned at the middle or bottom of page. I am able to do that by using \vspace{ } before the includegraphics but at times the generated pdf document gives the space above it as a complete blank. actually, the text should get automatically adjusted as per the figure placement.

Q: Add-Ons for GUI Page Control

hallo

its a short question, hopefully already answered:

There  GUI Page Control. Did somebody include a page for "bibtex items"  
and/or "insert \section, \subsection and so on"?
If so, where can I find it?

regards
simon

Q: Search and destroy - get rid of blanks

hallo

I'd like to insert a lot of \subsections into an unstructured part of my  
document.
At the moment, it looks like this:

some text
subtopic 1
some text
subtopic 2
some text

I'd like to become it like this:

some text
\subsection{subtopic 1}
some text
\subsection{subtopic 2}
some text

I think, I can archive this by/through* the following procedure:

1) subtopic 1
2) SS subtopic 1
3) search <SS\(*\), replace \\subsection\{\0\}

unfortunately, the result is not
\subsection{subtopic 1} but
\subsection{ subtopic 1}

Since my Latex doesn't ignore this blank, how do I get rid of it?

regards
simon

* what's the correct wording?

page layout

Hello,

I am in the writing phase of thesis and apart from the thesis technical text, I am juggling to get a few commands work in latex, for instance, I would like the page headers and footers in the following manner..

the odd numbered page should have "Name of the Chapter" in the right hand side.

even numbered page should have "Chapter Number" in the left hand side.
and footers should be center aligned having only page numbers.

however, the page layout after using fancyheader package are bit different....instead of giving odd+right and even+left it is giving odd+left and even+right. Also, it is giving a horizontal line at the top of page that divides the main text and header. i wish to remove that line as well.

If anybody has a solution to this page layout problem, then I would definitely like to hear and try it.

How can I adjust the math fontsize in Beamer?

I am a beginner in using Winedt to write Latex. I was using the Beamer to make slides. I would like to make math font size larger.

I tried to put \LARGE before the math but nothing changed. How can I adjust the Math fontsize? Thank you!
