Off-topic: 7 questions about usage of LaTeX.
Hi,
Hoping that some LaTeX experts here may be able to help me with a book
project which I am doing in LaTeX (instead of LyX).
Q-1) How do I leave a page Intetionally Blank, after the title page,
and before the abstract page, if I am using...
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,titlepage]{article}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage[pdftitle={ID1421, BDutta},colorlinks=false,a4paper]{hyperref}
\usepackage{graphicx}
Note that, the following didn't work...
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\newpage
This page is intentionally left blank.
\newpage
\begin{abstract}
Q-2) When I use dvipdfm or pdflatex tool to convert to PDF, all of
my hyperlinks get a blue or red bounding-box. How do I do away with the
bounding-box (or say a white bounding-box) ? I am more interested in the
way which works for dvipdfm.
Q-3) I use MicroSoft Visio to create some network diagrams, and converted
them to JPEG at high quality (i.e. Print-Quality 600dpi, and very low
compression). Then I used jpeg2ps -p a4 command to convert to .EPS. The
image quality in the document (.dvi or the generated final .pdf) seems much
lower quality than the JPEG itself. Any way to get high quality image in my
final PDF ?
Q-4) How do I solve this footnote problem ? I reference a footnote in the
main text as follows... SomeText\footnotemark{1}. The footnote definition
is done as follows..
\footnotetext[1]{SomeDescriptiveText}
... but the problem is that in the generated .dvi / .pdf, I find that in the
main body the text appears with the superscript 1 after SomeText (as
expected), but also an additional regular-size _1 after the subscript,
which is unexpected and undesired.
Q-5) How to include some text in the document that is not part of any
section ? For example, I want to put some text into a Copyright section at
the end of my document, in a separate page, with a Heading, but can't
figure out how to get the heading, and ensure that it is not listed in the
table of contents.
Q-6) How do I get a References section, which also is included in table
of contents ? My current usage:-
\newpage
\bibliographystyle{alpha}
\bibliography{id-bilog}
\nocite{Alan2005}
... puts a References heading automatically, (i.e. without the \section
directive), but doesn't include it in the table of contents either.
Q-7) How to limit float feature ? I want to ensure that my two figures (on
a single page), are separated by some text. Overall, for the document, I
want to retain the float feature. Without the ability to control, my 2
figures appear one after the other, although they are logically for two
different paragraphs.
thanks best regards,

Are you using the hyperref package to make hyperlinks? Read the
documentation, there are plenty of options for controlling these things.

Try the pdflatex way of generating latex. Jpegs should go in unchanged
this way, so no quality loss.

with a Heading, but can't
figure out how to get the heading, and ensure that it is not listed in the

Use a section* instead of a section. No section number, and no
table of contents.
Q-6) How do I get a References section, which also is included in table
of contents ? My current usage:-
\newpage
\bibliographystyle{alpha}
\bibliography{id-bilog}

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{References} on that page.
Or, some document classes support a bibtotoc option.
Q-7) How to limit float feature ? I want to ensure that my two figures (on
a single page), are separated by some text. Overall, for the document, I
want to retain the float feature. Without the ability to control, my 2
figures appear one after the other, although they are logically for two
different paragraphs.
Make sure there actually is text between them. Then, experiment with
the settings for float positioning. Sometimes what you want can't be done
because it'll produce too ugly output. Mainly, the problem is
that a float doesn't fit on the bottom of the page, so it is moved
to the next. To fill the gap, text is pulled in from that next page.
That might move all the text you wanted to go between the float, and when
the next page opens up there are two floats queued up. Moving text
around so the paragraphs with floats ends up elsewhere on the page
might help.
Consider setting the first float to top of page, and the second one
to bottom.

Did you use \begin{figure}[htbp]? Have a look at placeins.sty, there is
a command \FloatBarrier which might be helpful.

Are you using the "hyperref" package to make hyperlinks? Read the
documentation, there are plenty of options for controlling these things.

There is no chance of using a vector ized format instead of a bitmap
format for this? Postscript is a good one. A trick for windows users

Try the "pdflatex" way of generating latex. Jpegs should go in unchanged
this way, so no quality loss.

Use a "section* instead of a "section". No section number, and no
table of contents.

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{References} on that page.
Or, some document classes support a "bibtotoc" option.

Make sure there actually is text between them. Then, experiment with
the settings for float positioning. Sometimes what you want can't be done
because it'll produce "too ugly" output. Mainly, the problem is
that a float doesn't fit on the bottom of the page, so it is moved
to the next. To fill the gap, text is pulled in from that next page.
That might move all the text you wanted to go between the float, and when
the next page opens up there are two floats queued up. Moving text
around so the paragraphs with floats ends up elsewhere on the page
might help.
Consider setting the first float to top of page, and the second one
to bottom.
