how to type right } in lstinline.
I cannot insert
\lstinline{{}}
The left{ is work well, but the right cause error.
Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup.
Thanks for your help.
You can use some other character, which does not occur in your listing, to delimit the lstinline argument:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{listings}
\begin{document}
\lstinline|{}|
\lstinline#{}#
\lstinline!{}!
\lstinline*{}*
\end{document}

I am trying to get the symbol `, as it is, in latex. However, I am ending up with a single quotation mark instead of the symbol itself. Could you please let me know how I can achieve this?
Thanks.
You could use \textasciigrave :
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\textasciigrave
\end{document}
How do I remove the default date that a documentclass{article} adds in LaTeX?
Thanks
Try using \date{}.
use \date{} before "\begin{document}"
Also ensure that you dont have any variation of this in your code.
{\large \today}
A blank \date{} will still use some vertical spacing. Check this post on TeX Exchange for a comprehensive list of alternatives, like the titling package.
The command
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\title{text}
\author{names}
\maketitle
\date{}
\end{document}
will give the out put as shown here:
But the code:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\title{text}
\author{names}
\date{}
\maketitle
\end{document}
will give the desired output, I believe, you want:
The command \date{} should be put after \author{names} and before \maketitle.
The exact code snippet to "copy and paste" is as follows:
\date{}
\begin{document}
I am wondering how I can get the document title in LaTex, for use elsewhere in the document. I just want to be able to echo it.
Using \#title does not work because \maketitle clears \#title. This seems silly to me but that's the way it is. One solution is to redefine \title to save the title somewhere else. For instance,
\def\title#1{\gdef\#title{#1}\gdef\THETITLE{#1}}
then use \THETITLE.
You can do the other way around: \def\MYTITLE{...} then \title{\MYTITLE} and later use \MYTITLE again.
I had success just writing a new command.
\newcommand{\mytitle}{...}
\title{\mytitle}
There is a package called authoraftertitle that does exactly this
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{authoraftertitle}
\setlength\parindent{0 pt}
\begin{document}
\title{a good title}
\author{a better author}
\date{the best date}
\maketitle
the title is: \textbf{\MyTitle} \\
the author is: \textbf{\MyAuthor} \\
the data is: \textbf{\MyDate} \\
\end{document}
This is a workaround...
\let\titleoriginal\title % save original \title macro
\renewcommand{\title}[1]{ % substitute for a new \title
\titleoriginal{#1}% % define the real title
\newcommand{\thetitle}{#1} % define \thetitle
}
\title{This is my title}
\begin{document}
\thetitle
\end{document}
The short version of the title was ignored here...
I'm trying to create a new environment in my LaTeX document where indentation in the next paragraph following the environment is suppressed.
I have been told (TeXbook and LaTeX source) that by setting \everypar to {\setbox0\lastbox}, the TeX typesetter will execute this at the beginning of the next paragraph and thus remove the indentation:
\everypar{\setbox0\lastbox}
So this is what I do, but to no effect (following paragraph is still indented):
\newenvironment{example}
{\begin{list}
{}
{\setlength\leftmargin{2em}}}
{\end{list}\everypar{\setbox0\lastbox}}
I have studied LaTeX's internals as well as I could manage. It seems that the \end routine says \endgroup and \par at some point, which may be the reason LaTeX ignores my \everypar setting. \global doesn't help either. I know about \noindent but want to do this automatically.
Example document fragment:
This is paragraph text. This is paragraph text, too.
\begin{example}
\item This is the first item in the list.
\item This is the second item in the list.
\end{example}
This is more paragraph text. I don't want this indented, please.
Internal routines and switches of interest seem to be \#endpetrue, \#endparenv and others. Thanks for your help.
I couldn't get anything to work without redefining \end, but I'm certainly no expert.
The following is quite hacky, but worked in my limited testing. Of course this will interfere with nested environments (you should be able to redefine \begin to restore the old \end if you have problems).
\newenvironment{example}{%
\bgroup
\let\oldend=\end
\def\end##1{\oldend{##1}\csname #afterindentfalse\endcsname
\csname #afterheading\endcsname}
\begin{list}{}
{\setlength\leftmargin{2em}}
}{%
\end{list}
\egroup
}
Can't you avoid this by not having a blank line between your environment and the next line?
This is paragraph text. This is paragraph text, too.
\begin{example}
\item This is the first item in the list.
\item This is the second item in the list.
\end{example}
% (No blank line)
This is more paragraph text. I don't want this indented, please.
Something as simple as this works for me:
\makeatletter
\newenvironment{example}{%
\bgroup
\list{}{}
}{%
\endlist
\#afterindentfalse
\#afterheading
\egroup
}
\makeatother
But, it doesn't work before the first \section (or \chapter, in the case of classes "book" and "report") is called. I don't know why.
I tried the Ivan's answer, but it wasn't working for me. But I did get it working! Here's what I did:
\makeatletter
\renewenvironment{quotation}{%
\bgroup%
\let\oldend=\end%
\def\end##1{\oldend{##1}\csname #afterindentfalse\endcsname%
\csname #afterheading\endcsname}%
\list{}{\listparindent 1.5em%
\itemindent \listparindent%
\leftmargin 1.5em% This controls the size of the indentation
\rightmargin \leftmargin
\parsep \z# \#plus\p#}% This line reduces inter-paragraph space to normal values.
\item\relax%
}{%
\endlist%%
\egroup%
}
\makeatother
The advantage to this is that it typesets your blockquotes very nicely, and removes the indentation from paragraph after the blockquote.
You can do this without redefining \end
\makeatletter
\newenvironment{example}
{\begin{list}
{}
{\setlength\leftmargin{2em}}}
{\end{list}%
\def\if#endpe{%
\#doendpe
\let\par\##par
\iffalse}}
\makeatother
Explanation
\end changes \everypar after expanding \endexample. To make things even more complicated it sets \par to restore \everypar{}. Appearently \#doendpe is ment to make sure that there is no indentation if the paragraph continues after the environment, but to restore normal behavior if there is a \par (or empty line) after the environment.
You may want to avoid changing \end because it would have to be changed at the begining of the environment and may therefore disturb nested environments. Luckily the definition of \end contains \expandafter\endgroup\if#endpe. We can use \if#endpe as a hook to inject our code to the outer scope. After the \endgroup \if#endpe is automatically restored.
Include \#afterindentfalse\#afterheading at the end of your definition.
I had the same problem. I just used this:
\noindent \newenvironment
You should not mess with the \everypar token list, unless you know exactly what you are doing. Use
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
to get rid of indenting in the whole document.
ending your environment with \noindent could help you

this is how my file starts. I didn't even edit it, I received it like this. However, if I want to make a pdf, it gives me the undefined control sequence error at the first line... What is wrong??
My guess is that you're trying to use TeX instead of LaTeX. TeX won't recognize the \documentclass command. Make sure you use LaTeX.
It might be that one of the tools in your tool chain gets irritated by a Byte-Order Mark (BOM), which is a special Unicode character to indicate the endianness used in your file.
Unfortunately, a BOM may have unwanted side-effects.
You might try to save the file with another editor which won't add this mark in the beginning, or remove it with a hex editor.
try getting rid of \usepackage[dvips]{epsfig,psfrag} if you're using pdflatex.
Perhaps TeXshop doesn't recognize your file as a LaTeX file and runs it with plain TeX or ConTeXt. If you can post your logfile (the beginning) here, we can help you for sure.
