Does anyone know how to get hanging indents when using the LaTeX multicols package? I am trying \setlength{\hangindent}{1pc} \hangafter=1 which gives what I want in plain text but, within a multicols environment, has no effect, no matter where I put it. Any ideas?

Hi. I want to use MetaFONT to produce a greyed-out logo to use as a watermark: the sort of illustration which appears throught The METAFONTbook, particularly in Chapter 4: Pens, gives great cause for hope. Appendix H remarks that the illustrations in the book were produced with GFtoDVI. I can generate whatever hardcopy proofs I want using MF and GFtoDVI but I can't see how to produce a TeX document which includes grayed-out shapes. Fiddling around with scissors and glue seems too un-Knuthian to be plausible. If I understand how .dvi works, the gray font characters used by GFtoDVI have already been placed in a particular point on each page. This conflicts with the idea of a document independently placing an illustration on a page. I've obviously missed something. I would be pleased if someone could offer some guidance.

Maybe one of you can help me on this one. I am trying to costruct a matrix (of considerable size) with between some columns or rows a dashed line through the whole matrix (or a so called 'partitioned' matrix). I did manage to have a new row contain only dots, but that is not a great alternative; the rows are far too much seperated and I don't know how to get a column of dots, anyway. This is the LaTeX-input for that approach: - ------------------- \documentclass[10pt]{article} \usepackage{a4wide} \usepackage{natbib} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} \begin{eqnarray*} \Lambda_t(L_4) = \left[ \begin{array}{cccccccccccccc} q_t &p_t& 0 & 0 & & & & & & & & & & \\ \hdotsfor{14}\\ & 0 &q_t& 0 &p_t& & & & & & & & & \\ & 0 &q_t&p_t& 0 & & & & & & & & & \\ & 0 &q_t& 0 &p_t& & & & & & & & & \\ \hdotsfor{14}\\ & & & & 0 &q_t& 0 & 0 &p_t& & & & & \\ & & & & 0 &q_t&p_t& 0 & 0 & & & & & \\ & & & & 0 &q_t& 0 &p_t& 0 & & & & & \\ & & & & 0 &q_t& 0 & 0 &p_t& & & & & \\ \hdotsfor{14}\\ & & & & & & & & 0 &q_t& 0 & 0 & 0 &p_t\\ & & & & & & & & 0 &q_t&p_t& 0 & 0 & 0 \\ & & & & & & & & 0 &q_t& 0 &p_t& 0 & 0 \\ & & & & & & & & 0 &q_t& 0 & 0 &p_t& 0 \\ & & & & & & & & 0 &q_t& 0 & 0 & 0 &p_t\\ \hdotsfor{14}\\ & & & & & & & & & & & & & 1 \\ \end{array} \right] \end{eqnarray*} \end{document} - ------------------- Can anyone please help me out, here?

This is their bibliography entry style: Ager, D. D. and Dewey, W.C., 1990, Calibration of pulsed field gel electrophoresis...... {\em International Journal of Radiation Biology}, 58, 249-259. What I can currently achieve using the named.bst (from the harvard family) is: [Ager and Dewey, 1990] D.D. Ager and W.C. Dewey. Title. {\em Journal}, 58, 249-259. When the reference is called in the text, it nicely come as [Ager and Dewey 1990] or, if the authors are more than two, as [Ager {\em et al.} 1990] which works fine. It also does 1990a and 1990b if Ager and Dewey wrote two papers that year. As I am not a great expert of bibliography styles, I ask you if there is any style which satisfies the requirements of IJRB above or what should I do to change named.bst in that direction. thanks in advance, Massimo - ----------------------------------------------------- Chi addimanna nun fa errore Quando sei indeciso, meglio chiedere If you are not sure, you'd better ask - ----------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of TeXhax Digest V1999 #1 ***************************** About TeXhax...
