Hi Herbert,
I think something is missing in that piece of code, since when I put it
in my preamble I get a bunch of errors. The problem is I know nothing
about LaTeX and I don't know how to fix it. I see a closing brace at the
bottom, and I don't see a corresponding opening one anywhere, so perhaps
this is the problem.
Also, exactly where in the preamble would I place this snippet, probably
before defining the stuff in the footer? Or does it even matter where it
is placed?
Thanks,
Vlad.
