* gnash crunch... latex whitespace defaults! + numbering in only some subheadings @ 2010-09-01 22:59 ` Matt Price 2010-09-02 0:16 ` Rafael 2010-09-02 5:18 ` Nick Dokos 0 siblings, 2 replies; 5+ messages in thread From: Matt Price @ 2010-09-01 22:59 UTC (permalink / raw) To: emacs-orgmode [-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1135 bytes --] Hi folks, I'm pretty sure I had this answered once already but I can't find the reference! sorry to ask again. I have two issues right now as I try rather deperately to print something reasonable-looking for my course syllabus (the html version is lovely). 1) what is te recommended or canonical way to reduce whitespace, not only in the margins, but especially between paragraphs? In particular, I use a lot of lists and subheadings; latex puts enormous emounts of whatespace between items, and very quickly the syllabus becomes difficult to navigate. It would be great for me if I could make these settings default, too -- I would much rather have my paper copies look more word-processor-ish, to ocnform iwth expectations in my discipline (history). 2) is it possible to turn numbering off for most headings, but to turn them on wihtin a specific heading? In my case, I would like to number _only_ the weeks in my course outline, but leave all other elements (course requirements, texts, introduction, etc) unnumbered. I bet it's possible but it's not trivial to find this in the extensive manual.

Not exactly the canonical way, but I have the following in documents I'm planning to export to LaTeX to make whitespace bearable: #+LATEX_HEADER: #+LATEX_HEADER: \let\olditemize=\itemize #+LATEX_HEADER: \def\itemize{ #+LATEX_HEADER: \olditemize #+LATEX_HEADER: \setlength{\itemsep}{-0.8ex} #+LATEX_HEADER: } #+LATEX_HEADER: \let\oldenumerate=\enumerate #+LATEX_HEADER: \def\enumerate{ #+LATEX_HEADER: \oldenumerate #+LATEX_HEADER: \setlength{\itemsep}{-0.8ex} #+LATEX_HEADER: } ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

This can be done using the enumitem LaTeX package: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{enumitem} #+LaTeX: \setitemize{itemsep=0pt, parsep=0pt} * list This is a list - a - b - c - d - e --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The \setitemize above is equivalent to #+LaTeX: \setitemize{noitemsep} You might also try #+LaTeX: \setitemize{nolistsep} which eliminates all vertical space. On Ubuntu/Debian, the enumitem package is part of texlive-latex-extra and the documentation is in texline-latex-extra-docs. > 2) is it possible to turn numbering off for most headings, but to turn them > on wihtin a specific heading?

You can turn off section numbering by using #+OPTIONS: num:nil but I don't know if it's possible to then turn it back on within some sectioning unit. But iiuc, you could do this and then use an enumerated list for the weeks - something like this perhaps: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+OPTIONS: num:nil #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{enumitem} #+LaTeX: \setitemize{nolistsep} #+LaTeX: \setenumerate{label=Week \theenumi, itemsep=0pt, parsep=0pt} * list This is a list - a - b - c - d - e * enumerated list This is an enumerated list 1. a 2. b 3. c 4. d 5. e --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- HTH, Nick ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I'd still love to do more finetuning of the formatting but I think that's a more complex project. Unfortunately this seems to have broken mk4ht for me! which is a real drag as it's the only way I can reliably produce odt documents, which I need much ofthe time. Does anyone know whether numbering can be turned on just in some subheadings? That would help me quite a bit... thanks thanks thanks for al lthe assistance, matt [-- Attachment #1.2: Type: text/html, Size: 1239 bytes --] [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/plain, Size: 201 bytes --] _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
