I am writing my thesis in LaTeX with lilypond and lilypond-book. The first part of the document is just musical examples and for that, the document class {book} suffices. The second part, however, needs to follow the conventions of stage.cls . I was wondering if it is possible to change document classes at that section. I have tried to include the PDF file of the part of the document that uses stage but it ruins the table of contents at the front of my thesis, and it also restarts page numbering.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I am facing a somewhat similar problem and while I have not come to the point where I need to implement the solution I have done some research in preparation. The most helpful is the following multidoc FAQ from TeX. Hope that can at least steer you in the right direction.

I'm trying to make vertical karaoke kanji with furigana in Aegisub which uses lua script. I didn't write the code as I state here, I'm not advanced enough to write codes yet, but I can edit the effects at least. - http://forum.aegisub.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=66245&p=90280#p90280

I'm very confused at the moment as I can't figure out how to make the code so that the subtitles don't spin and keep their current effect... Also, the code that the person gave me, doesn't work. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
I was assigned a project (in school) for automated multiple choice test scoring and I do not know where to start.
I think his is a kind of popular program and you already know about it. Enter an image file scanned of the answer sheet and return results.
Everything I know about computer vision is a few examples of photo editing with OpenCV. I hope you can give me a few keywords related to the problem or maybe a couple of blog articles, documents and related libraries.
Is there any free open source programs that I can refer to?
Thanks!
Edit: Add 2 example of the answer sheet (sory that I cannot find a sheet in English):
I think there are basically two steps to the problem
bring the form into a normalized position
now you know where the boxes are and can look at them by thresholding the gray values in that region.
What methods to use for step 1 depends on your actual images and how much the vary. Do you have some example images you can upload?
Also I think it is a good idea, especially if you are a beginner, to start with some simple examples and work your way up from there by adding more and more variation.
I searched every where and tried to do learn from the Apple document, but did not success. Actually I learned to fetch XML, learned to Load Image, but not in the combined form.
Please suggest me some example if it does exist.
I came here by asking the same question, After some struggle I've found an interesting article by IBM:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-iosslideshow/
This should help you ( and me) to build the gallery.
If not just add it as a "Guide" on how to achieve that.
If I learn how to do it properly I'll let you know how.

I want to write a document that has the style like this one.
Like having a light colored background on a page, having a big header (like the EXTRACTION) shown in this link. Do you think it is possible to something like this in Latex?
I am comfortable with doing normal things in latex.
If you download and look at the document properties, it was made with InDesign CS3. Could you do this in LaTeX? Yes. The cover page is... just a cover page. If you use fancyhdr and make a page header, you can increase the header height, then lay the page header in there as an image. Try eso-pic for page backgrounds. But in all honesty, that document is kind of ugly. :D
Your best bet for a document like this is to use a desktop publishing system. A Free/Open Source Software solution would be Scribus Desktop Publishing.
Off the top of my head:
-- check out ConTeXt, strictly speaking an alternative to LaTeX but one designed for something closer to DTP than LaTeX itself;
-- LaTeX has lots of facilities for DTP-like work, a good place to start would be the newsletter on link text
-- investigate packages such as PGF/TKZ, eso-pic, newspaper.
That document smell like made with InDesign or QuarkXPress ... I guess there is a way to do it in latex but will not be straightforward at all ...
Actually it's quite feasible using LaTeX, it's just a pity that the learning curve and the technical involvement are higher than when using DTP tools like Adobe InDesign.
This explains why few people are willing to involve the required amount of time and energy into mastering LaTeX for such kind of projects, and consequently why few introductory material is available on the subject.
One notable exception is the recent workshop given by Dominik Wagenführ at Ubucon 2009 in Göttingen. Its proceedings are freely available a the bottom of the page, as well as the related source code. It's all in German but fairly easy to understand and very educational, so I'd recommand you to study it.
I want to use LaTex to write equations faster and if it is possible to export the result as a png or jpg so that it can be used on a website.
Wikipedia (and its opensource wiki engine) uses LaTeX for that, maybe there are some resources available (at least in the code, as it is opensource).
Your question is very broad. You could start with Amazon's List of Latex Books.
You might want to investigate the StackExchange site mathoverflow.net solution - you can read about here. It uses jsMath which supports a lot of LaTeX syntax.
Assuming you already know a little LateX and your primary goal is to get images, a good high-level tool is mathTeX; there are even public servers that will convert to images for you.
If you want to do everything yourself, all the tools use dvipng at bottom.
I like both MathBin.net and Roger's Online Equation Editor. The latter lets you control the quality of the output. See also this question.

Here is a small symbol reference for LaTeX. If you are looking for something more as a general introduction, you can look at "The Not So Short Introduction To LaTeX2e". If you use Inkscape, there is built in support for rendering LaTeX and there are also extensions that do the same. You can read some commentary about it here. There are also things like LaTeX to HTML converters; However, at the time I was looking at them, they were somewhat limited in what formulas they could display.
I taught myself LaTeX using the wikibook. It's fairly comprehensive as an initial guide. I've since bought The LaTeX Companion, which is a more advanced guide to in depth typesetting in LaTeX
I use http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/LaTeX/AoPS_L_TeXer.php when I need a quick equation for a web site.
There are packages that will automatically produce images from LaTeX source, but these are often either buggy or used incorrectly. Many people install them on their blogs, for example, and the images show up if you visit the blog directly but they don't show up if you view the page via a blog reader. I'm not saying these problems can't be fixed. They can, but it often takes a few tries.
I prefer just to make a gif and stick it in the page. It's low tech and reliable.
One more tip: it's a good idea to put the LaTeX source in the alt tag of the image. This helps people using screen readers. It helps you too if you need to modify the equation later.
Detextify is a great site that lets you draw a symbol, and it will pop up a list of latex commands that may match your drawing. It's quite accurate! http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html
