I have an paragraph in InDesign CC 2015, in that paragraph there is a space in front of a sentence. The space depend on the size of the font but i want to align all the sentences exactly the same. Is that possible?
This is how it looks now:
The paragraph with sapcing
This is how i want it (without adjusting every sentence individually):
The paragraph how it should be
Best regards,
Robert
it depends on the font.
you can align each line manually (by writing each line in a different text-box of course) or you can edit the font and change the letter's spacing.

So I am using the flashcard software Anki which uses LaTex for its math equation formatting
So when I write an equation with a fraction in the same line as standard text, it automatically allignts the lowest point of the equation, in the case the denomitor of the fraction, with the bottom the normal text. How can I get the equation and text to be horizontally aligned.
Some text before an equation: [$]\frac{x^2}{y}[/$]
What I did was to make the equation itself a bit smaller to better match the text around it.
To add it for all equations go to: Tools > Manage Note Types > Options > Header
Or you could place it inline: [$]\tiny[/$]
An excellent writeup on sizing text this way can be found at tex.stackexchange
And you may be able to get better results by changing the font itself.
As the LaTeX snippets are finally rendered as images, this is a CSS issue. The equations become centered when you add the following rule to your card CSS:
img[src*="latex"] {
vertical-align: middle;
}
This CSS rule matches all images whose file name contains the string latex and centers them in their respective line of text. It thus matches all anki-generated latex images.
If needed, I can supply info on how to edit the card CSS or on how to make Anki and Latex work together.
Is there a property that will apply the proper character spacing to have all the text on each line in an NSAttributedString butt up against the bounds like in a book, (including the final line which I know isn't done in books)? I know kerning can be adjusted, but that won't dynamically adjust on a per line basis. Any help would be appreciated. Also NSTextAlignmentJustified and NSTextAlignmentNatural get close, but won't apply the effect to the last line of text.
The only option is to use NSTextAlignmentJustified. Last line is never justified, because NSTextAlignmentJustified refers to Left Justification mode, as it is the standard case.
For more information you can take a look at Typographic Alignment on wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typographic_alignment
Hi I'm using LateX. I have a block of text that I'd like to have a small box like space highlighting the are (just like a \begin{equation} but for text).
Is there such a thing in LateX?
I'm not 100% sure what you're asking I'm afraid, but if you just want to indent text with a margin on each side of the page to make it stand out, you can use...
\begin{quotation}
Quotation is good for long blocks of text that you want highlighted
\end{quotation}
\begin{quote}
Quote is suited to a single block of quoted text.
\end{quote}
If you actually want to have a physical black box around the text, you might want to consider wrapping it in a tabular / table, or you might want to delve into minipages and/or par box environments...
Is \makebox what you're looking for?
To create boxes of text that behave differently from the rest of the text, we can use
\makebox[width][pos]{text}
The width sets the width the of the box. The pos sets the positioning of the text - either r (right justified text), l (left justified), or s (stretched to fill the box). If the pos parameter is left out, as in \makebox[1in]{centerme}, the text is centered. The text is placed in the box. If you want to draw a box around the text, use \framebox just as you would use \makebox.
\mbox{text} and \fbox{text} are quick versions of \makebox and \framebox, which create a box to fit the size of the text.
There are some more examples at http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/wiki/index.php?title=LaTeX:Layout#Boxes
In my presentation, I use \usetheme{Warsaw} and in order to increase the usable space in each frame, I use \useoutertheme{infolines}. In this way, the bar at the bottom of each page is equally divided between author's name, title, and date and slide number. Is there anyway to change the width of each section? For example, I need more space for the title compared to author's name or date. Any comment is highly appreciated. Also, the code I am using is the following:
\usepackage{beamerthemesplit}
\usetheme{Warsaw}
\useoutertheme{infolines}
\title[...]{...}
\author[...]{...}
\institute{...}
\date{...}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\titlepage
\end{frame}
Thank you.
Find the beamerouterthemeinfolines.sty file (in the ...\latex\beamer\themes\outer folder). You will see that the 1:1:1 width is hard-coded using wd=.333333\paperwidth for each box, so you will have to edit the style file.
The following is not tested, but should set you on the right path.
Change those values as you want, then save the file under a different name, say beamerouterthemeunevenlines.sty. Now use unevenlines as your outer theme.
I have a block of text in a quotation. Some of that text will be in a very small font (\scriptsize) and some much bigger (\Large). My problem is that the letters in the big font push right up against the letters in the line above. This effect is unacceptably distracting to the reader. (Trust me; for my use, it is.)
My question, then: how do I insert space to push apart the lines so that the large text does not scrape against the text above it?
You can specify \vspace in postscript points. This will give you very fine-grained control.
or...
you can use the setspace package: \usepackage{setspace} then use the commands:
\singlespacing
\onehalfspacing
\doublespacing
or...
you can use \linespacing{factor}: Use
\linespread{1.3} for "one and a half" line spacing, and
\linespread{1.6} for "double" line spacing.
Normally the lines are not spread, so the default line spread factor is 1.
There are myriad methods, but in paper writing, I often use a \vspace{0.75cm} after the separating newline (I'm metric, so pick a unit you like).
